[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all the very defensive parents here, I sort of get it. You don't think you're wrong...but I'm a former teacher, taught in 6 different states (husband is military). We settled down here and I stopped teaching to stay home with our kids..Parents in Montgomery County are an entirely different breed. I haven't dealt with parents like this anywhere else I have been. I am VERY glad I don't teach in MCPS. I think some self-reflection would definitely be beneficial. I don't know where the disconnect starts or ends, but there is a major problem in this county. People seem to think they are the authority on teaching because they spent time in a classroom as a student. People here are really overly defensive about parenting. People really like to blame everyone else for   their problems with their kids. Someone wrote above that it starts at home. It does. Please...stop berating others and just be parents to your kids. That is the very first step. [/quote]

Has it occured to you "MCPS" parents are not a monolith? You don't know anything about the people posting except what we have shared. Maybe respond to us as individuals if you feel compelled to do so. Teachers vent bashing parents online is really unprofessional and unhelpful.[/quote]

Yes,  because I possess critical thinking skills. I know that you continually to defensively post and defensive people are usually the ones guilty… all I really need to know about you. Obviously not every parent is the same… however, the overwhelming majority of MoCo parents I’ve seen online, in person, at school, during school events, outside school events, etc…have proven to be very different people than parents I’ve met elsewhere. We are very involved in the community which leads me to meeting new people daily. You clearly have an issue with teachers. You are fixated on “teachers bashing parents” when most posters “bashing” you are just parents… might want to look into that.[/quote]

I mean I have seen real teachers I know bashing parents on Facebook. Sorry you don't like my opinions, clearly you have a lot of baggage about people who don't worship everything teachers say and do.[/quote]

:shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Sorry you had a bad experience in school. Teachers aren’t a monolith either.[/quote]

The difference is that I am responding to an individual poster, while that poster wrote a weird diatribe, apparently targeted at anyone who thinks virtual schooling was bad for kids (this should not be controversial), about some uniquely sociopathic group of parents that only exists in Montgomery County.[/quote]

The posts are not targeted at anyone BUT you. You are so defensive and you're just not even listening to what people are saying. You're only hearing what you want to hear. You should probably should stop posting for awhile, getting a little embarrassing. [/quote]  lol yeah it is embarrassing for you, I agree[/quote]
