[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That vacation lady sounds like the type of parents that will fight a teacher all year long and try to get them fired.  I wish we had a union that actually protected teachers against these monsters.[/quote]

I want competent teachers who teach and do their jobs.  It's about half and half of who do it and who doesn't.  We still have assignments not graded as of today and no final grades.  Not ok.  Nor is it ok to give kids and parents links to videos and use that as your primary teaching source.  There is zero accountability for teachers at all the schools we've been to and are at.  Teachers and admin don't respond to students or parents.  They don't grade timely.  They don't post information.  They ony have 6-10 assignments per semester.  Yes, I'm fed up and don't think my kids are gettting a quality education and tired of supplementing to make up for it.[/quote]

Every year, my kids have a bad teacher. One that thinks they are a great teacher but really sucks. One that has been teaching for a while and waiting for retirement and pension.

[b]But, most teachers are fine or great. Half the teachers do not suck.[/b] I help my kids push through it. There are college professors that suck and parents paying tuition of upwards of $50k or more. Paying does not guarantee better teaching.

Learn to deal with it. I have lazy coworkers. There are parents that never volunteer. Move on![/quote]

I agree.  The vast majority of teachers are good and want to do the best for the kids.  The system is not setup to allow teachers to teach.  It’s not their jobs to parent, just to teach.[/quote]

I definitely agree with you. Teachers become the scapegoat for what’s going poorly in society, and the good teachers are quite tired of carrying so much responsibility and blame.

I’m a teacher and my DD has decided to become one. I tried so hard to talk her out of it, but she won’t really understand until personally experiences the absurd expectations and poor treatment. I’m hoping it gets better before she graduates college, but I’m not optimistic.[/quote]
