[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like this thread would have been better served by saying "I need to complain about how overworked I feel" and then go and do so.  But it is phrased as "I need YOU to understand how overworked I feel" and trust me, we know you feel overworked.  Partly because many of us also feel overworked.[/quote]

I'm the OP.  I couldn't phrase it that way because I am not a teacher.  I am just a school parent that is embarrassed by many other parents who are pretty obnoxious and condescending to teachers and helping administrators to drive teachers from the profession.  I see some of the best teachers, who my children have enjoyed having, leaving the profession because of how abusive a significantly large subset of parents behave.  And I have a ton of friends who are teachers and listening to their grievances, upsets me. [/quote]

ok, then direct your ire at specific people, who you say are parents.  You just sound whiny when you say that "no one" acknowledges something, when there are pages and pages of people figuring out how to thank teachers.

You sound sanctimonious and awful, and unnecessarily fuel the parent v. teacher fighting.  Stop it.[/quote]

I bet this PP is exactly one of the parents OP was talking about.[/quote]

And YOU are exactly what PPP was talking about, fueling the unnecessary fight between parents and teachers as groups.[/quote]
