They're literally trying to help you teach their kid.  It's not like the parent was complaining about random stuff. [/quote]

This should be handled by the kid, including the consequences of lookung at that zero until the end of the term when the teacher enters in late work
[/quote]

It has been handled by the kid and the kid was ignored!![/quote]

The teacher ignored your student speaking to her in person?[/quote]

Yes. Brushed them off with a "I'll check" (go sit down) type gesture.  But she never got back to child and child doesn't want to pursue in person further.[/quote]

I usually have 10-12 students at my desk during the 6 minutes between classes. (It’s also the only time I can get to the bathroom, which never happens.)

I am not able to pull up an assignment and conference with a student during that time. I triage needs and handle what I can. I’m merely human and I can’t stop time, so I can’t help everyone.

What a hard life!   How do you ever survive?[/quote]

By ignoring parent emails from annoying parents like you. LOL.[/quote]

This is why parents hate you. [/quote]

I’m the PP who tried to calmly and politely illustrate why teachers can’t hold long conferences between classes. (I am NOT the PP whose response was to ignore parent emails.)

As usual, DCUM decided to meet my calm, reasoned response with snark and anger. For the 3 (or so) posters who rudely replied, I recommend a different approach. Try grace and understanding.

OP, try grace. The teacher said she’ll get to it. It may not be the top priority right now because she may be putting out tons of other fires. A kind reminder, even if it’s #4, will work. She probably feels guilty that it hasn’t gotten done yet, and she’ll remember the previous attempts.
