[quote=Anonymous]I have no clue why this one poster believes the teacher didn’t say he shouldn’t bring his phone to school when they called home about the phone. I’m certain they suggested it. I in fact DO tell parents how to parent when I call home because if I have to call home, it’s because something is going on that they should’ve been on top of. I tell them things like “I know your son thinks 9:30 is early but that is when school starts. He is failing his first classes on A and B day because he doesn’t come. You have to make him come.” I also say “you need to make him leave his phone at home with you” for the kids who can’t get off the phone.

Needless to say, the advice is never taken even when it’s given. I can tell you that calling home has never, not once, made any real difference in a kid’s trajectory. It’s just required but it doesn’t ever change anything. At that point I accept the kid will probably fail, document it, and focus on the kids I can help learn. It is what it is. These kids are in my car for 88 minutes every other day for 10 months, they are your children for life. You simply have to be more involved and invested in helping them than I am. [/quote]
