[quote=Anonymous]I work at  big 3...

#1 the 5-10% of parents who are so annoying they make me want to quit my job on some days and make me not want to interact with parents ever.

#2 the admin kissing the ass of the parents who are major donors - to put everyone mind at ease the teachers do not treat their kids differently from joe schmo's kid

#3 your child really isnt gifted... they are likely above average to well above average, but in my years of teaching I have very rarely encountered a truly gifted child

#4 working at a place I could never afford to send my child and having the school make no real effort to level the playing field in terms of FA/remission

#5 parents who make excuses for their children and do not listen when you voice a concern

#6 students leaving the cafeteria a mess for the dining/custodial staff to clean

#7 making 60k a year... yes I have summers off, but I am so exhausted every day I wonder if it is worth it

#8 the "you havent responded to my 2 calls this morning so I am just emailing you to ask..." "you havent responded to my email..." emails/calls.  I am teaching!   give me 24 hrs please.   [/quote]
