[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been told that because I am "only a teacher" I am not as qualified as the parent - the spouse of a pediatrician - to make observations on behavior trends I witnessed in the classroom. I was not attempting to make a diagnosis or anything clinical, simply raised issues with poor emotional regulation and other classroom issues with peers. The best part is this woman doesn't have a health care background, she was simply married to a doctor. Her husband was pleasant but disengaged. She actually [b]told me that I "probably wasn't intelligent enough" to complete a degree in a more challenging field[/b]. [/quote]

This is hard to envision is true. [/quote]

Sadly, it rings true to me.  The bolder used to happen to me until I started sharing my pre-teaching degrees and career on BTSN.[/quote]

Yeah, peep any thread on this forum of parents talking about teachers. They do not hold us in high esteem or value our jobs or expertise. They think teaching is a joke and they could do it better and if we were actually intelligent we would've picked a different career. [/quote]
