[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher quits because many parents are severe high-level assholes. They are not willing to take it anymore. 
Also, many FCPS teachers hate to work.

I think people on DCUM tend to overstate the asshole parents and understate student behavior. I've worked in schools at varying SES levels and I usually have a couple of difficult parents, most I never hear from at all.[/quote]

All it takes is a couple though. The one (thankfully her kid is not my student) who shows up 2-3 days every week with her phone out and recording, walking up to whatever staff she sees and demanding they say on camera they won’t make her kid wear a mask or get a covid vaccine? She alone would make me want to quit if I taught her kid.[/quote]
That’s a nightmare! Still I’d take 2-3 times a week for a short period over truly misbehaving, violent students for 5+ hours, 5 days a week.  [/quote]

Both of these are examples of why teachers and staff leave schools with terrible admin. What kind of principal or AP allows a parent to roll up and shove a camera in staff members' faces multiple times per week or doesn't act on it when teachers raise concerns about violence or repeated disruptions?

SPED laws complicate things in many places, especially when parents fight more appropriate placements [/quote]

I have seen so many parents refuse services for their kids. It is unacceptable if their child is affecting others learning. [/quote]
