[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had multiple kids out last week for early spring break with MoCo rather than DCPS. Two had the audacity today to ask me to excuse them from a week’s worth of assignments. I looked them back and said, you have 24 hours. [/quote] You’re being generous, too! You could have simply said no. I think parents assume we’ll be extra lenient. After all, it’s the parents who decided to pull the kids; the students didn’t decide to miss class. Still, lines have to be drawn and some families are quite entitled.[/quote] +1 I understand some families traveling during school for various reasons. What I really can’t tolerate is the entitlement- can I have what you are doing in class for two weeks while I go skiing? Then I give whatever I can in the form of worksheets and when they return they say ‘I didn’t know how to do any of the work. When can I meet with you to go over it?’ The entitlement to my time is frustrating to say the least.[/quote]
