[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you read the teachers sub on Reddit they just want you to send your kid to school fed, clean, with a good night's sleep, and self-sufficient. They especially seem to frown on parents who supplement; I remember a thread where someone was asking about extra math and reading for kindergarten and the consensus was that getting your child too far ahead of the others makes their job harder so don't do it. They want you to teach them how to tie their shoelaces and zip their coats instead. 
At our public school they don't allow parent volunteers at all except at evening events so there is no contact with the teachers. They ask for Amazon wish list contributions.[/quote]

At our school it's just the opposite. The kids that are ahead just get ignored so the teacher has even less work to do.  My kid's teacher, for example, has taken 4-5 personal days this month on top of the many holidays. Personally, I have to not only supplement I have to teach them to read and do math since the school mostly neglects them.[/quote]

A teacher has a whole life outside of of your student? *gasp* the horror. You have zero idea why they took off and let’s be real- a few days without a teacher in elementary doesn’t mean you need take on anything. The hysterics… get a grip.[/quote]
