[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really unprofessional to post such detailed scenarios on the Internet. I would be livid if I as a parent found this. [/quote]

Teacher here. I agree.

I understand you need a sounding board OP, but I would've spoken to colleagues. [/quote]

No, I disagree completely. The other colleagues could guess who OP means, whereas no one on DCUM could productively guess - there are a ton of situations like these all over the area! I have a friend who acts this way with teachers about her child (but not the same age) and I've heard of plenty of other parents like this.
This is what online forums are good for.

Colleagues should talk about students in the vast majority of situations. Sometimes one teacher has found a good approach with a student that is a challenge for all the other teachers.

No other parent on DCUM could guess, but if the parents saw this, it would make the relationship even more challenging. [/quote]

Highly doubtful that the actual parent would be able to identify themself with such [b]generalized[/b] information.  [/quote]

[b]OP quoted herself. [/b][/quote]

"might be bored, but..." is [i]such[/i] a distinctive phrase. Surely no other teacher has used it in a parent meeting recently! :roll: [/quote]

OP's title is "moving forward tips" so let's help the OP move forward, shall we?[/quote]
