[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher I would never go the extra mile for a kid whose parents deliberately made them miss the first week of school.  Let the parents take the burden. [/quote]

What a great teacher you are, to punish a CHILD for a decision they had zero control over, a decision squarely made by the parents.

WOW. Go complain some more about your salary and benefits. With your attitude, I hope you find zero support from parents, colleagues, administrators and the state. Let YOU take the burden.[/quote]

I'm a teacher, and I agree with the first PP.

Let the parents deal with their child's missed work.  Maybe next time the parents won't be as entitled, and the'll put more emphasis school attendance.

I am NOT your child's personal tutor.  You want one?  Go pay for one.[/quote]

Missed work?  In the first week of first/second grade?  The first week is mostly learning class rules and routines (which is why it’s better not to miss) but the teacher is only going to suffer him/herself if unwilling to get the kid up to speed on classroom routines and expectations.  I understand about missed work if it’s AP US History or something, but most first graders can miss a week without missing any key concepts that won’t be taught again a few times before 6th grade.[/quote]
