[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS's teacher (only one of them) has still not gotten his in, and my son made the request 4 months ago and has been following up. It's maddening and I have little to no sympathy about this. It's part of the job. [/quote]

Read my post above.

And, because now I’m frustrated… I wrote 47. Each one took me about an hour and I completed them over two weeks this summer, without pay.

The teachers who haven’t gotten them done STILL HAVE TIME. They are not late. Those letters, however, are sitting on top of about 60 other hours a week of obligations. Teachers are absurdly busy.

I want this job less and less with every passing day.

NP and I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! I know you don’t hear it enough. I can’t imagine how frustrating and demoralizing it must be to give so much of your time and emotional energy only to receive such disrespect and ingratitude on this forum. DD’s teachers have been wonderful and supportive. Many of us on here are grateful for your commitment to your students, despite the entitled and ignorant PP. The stress we’re all feeling right now is no excuse for that nasty attitude.[/quote]

THANK YOU! I can’t put into words how much I appreciate this.

I do grow tired of this forum’s expectation that teachers should be working around the clock because that’s “part of our job.” The PP’s suggestion that teachers should practice the time management we preach really got under my skin. When I am responsible for 60-65 hours of exhausting work a week PLUS I have all the responsibilities of a parent myself, I don’t know where else I can pull energy to make that parent happy. And that’s the problem: I never will unless I just work more and give up more.

So I can’t tell you how much I appreciate a kind word on this forum. Thank you![/quote]
