[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I am a teacher supporter, but I have to say I am not impressed with one of my DC's teachers. Its this person's first year teaching and it's an advanced middle school course. The back to school night presentation was a little shocking - this perso[b]n has a harsh personality and did not interact with the parents at all[/b] (just gave a speech and said goodbye). Not sure I would say anything to the principal but I'm bummed for my kid.[/quote]

This is your evidence of a harsh personality? Maybe they were told not to interact with the parents at BSN after the Year from Hell for teachers. You sound like a Karen.

Administrators tell us every year to talk from bell to bell to avoid questions. They don’t want us to be put on the spot and say something they don’t think we should in front of a packed room. When BTSN is virtual, parents are told to stay muted and keep cameras off. I can see a new teacher preparing a speech until the end because they are scared of the horror stories that parent will me mean at BTSN.

I’ve been teaching for a long time and don’t do any of that. I save time for questions and talk to parents throughout the entire night. That comes with experience and having a level of comfort at your job. It also helps that I’ve had some of the siblings so I may know some of these families for a long time. Aug and Sept are a rough time for new teachers. I’m feeling “meh” myself this week. [/quote]
