[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 told me that I "probably wasn't intelligent enough" to complete a degree in a more challenging field. [/quote]

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

Yes, all the damn time with this type of nonsense.  We have mom/managers that talk to us like we are the help rather than educated professionals with their child's best interests at heart.  My most poorly behaved students have parents with blinders on and an axe to grind with anyone showing them the truth.[/quote]
Wow. I only know my two kids so I always appreciate wisdom and guidance from teachers who have seen hundreds of kids my kids’ age. I’m sorry to those who are disrespected. [/quote]
