[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, teachers aren't required to "print out packets" . LOL!

Miss school and your kid can struggle to catch up. [b]Shrug. I'm a parent, not a teacher, and don't want classtime or energy wasted on your precious Larla.[/b] [/quote]

Then you’re doomed to disappointment. Class time and energy is wasted on all kinds of parenting decisions. You will have to deal with my Larla who travels internationally. You’ll have to deal with someone else else’s Arlene, whose parents didn’t check her for lice. You will deal with children for whom English isn’t spoken in the home and parenting structures, which don’t allow discipline. Welcome to public school.[/quote]

If you cannot see the difference between your Larla who travels internationally and the poor kids, it is quite sad.

I was a teacher.  As for lice, it can happen to anyone--even your Larla who travels internationally. And, someone told me they don't keep kids home for that anymore.  Not sure if that is true.

And, what a stereotype that you think kids who don't speak English at home have no discipline.  You think all wealthy Larlas have discipline? [/quote]

It was a list of various parenting decisions, not attached to socioeconomics, which classrooms, teachers and fellow students have to adapt to. If you want homogeneous classrooms, private school is for you,[/quote]
