[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not angry, that's projection.

What you are doing is no more or less useful than what you are complaining that teachers do. If you don't like it, leave -- but if you stay, shut up. Or at least that is the message, right?

You should take your own advice, you know.

Why would I be angry? I have a job I love and get paid well for. And I had to make several strategic moves to get here when I felt a job was lacking in some way. My point is that getting to a job I love took active effort, not just saying I deserve more.

I’m not sure why you think I’m telling teachers to shut up. Quite the opposite, I’m asking for constructive, specific ways that parents can help on a larger level that address the bigger issues that seem to plaque teachers. Vague complaining never got anyone anything. Teachers need to rebrand their message to include specific suggestions for parents to elevate these issues and advocate on behalf of teachers. Every parent I know would want to help, but emailing the school board to say “Teachers should get paid more” doesn’t seem like a particularly effective campaign. I get it, it’s easier to be mad on behalf of teachers and think you’re “helping” with your anger, rather than say “Hey, teachers, what can I do to help you?” Because then you’d have to do more than virtue signal on an anonymous website. You do you.[/quote]

We need to get students with discipline problems out of the classroom, not for a day but long-term, so that we can actually teach. I don’t know how to solve that problem as a teacher because of IEPs, LRE, BIPs and FBA requirements. If you have any ideas as a parent, please feel free to step in. It’s not just about disciplining students. It is a cultural change with how parents raise their kids and how we treat students with mental illness.[/quote]

yes and it's more than the IEP's....it's good kids who whine and complain all day about having to learn. Kids who are disrespectful and call you mean for trying to teach and if you talked to Mom and Dad they will blame teacher./admin. Educators are done with the nonsense. [/quote]
