[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents can be selfish, lazy, clueless, or all of the above, and you need to anticipate that. You should have clarified in your instructions that the children cannot wear their costumes all day due to safety reasons. [/quote]

She specifically asked for costumes to be brought in a bag.  This is not nebulous or difficult to understand.  This is all on the parent.  Period.  [/quote]

You can have that attitude. Or you can have parents that actually listen to you.

It may be “all on the parent. Period.” But that is utterly beside the point. Teacher was complaining about an inconvenience to her. She would get better results with better communication.

I am not going to speculate, as some are, whether this parent is truly selfish, or clueless, or perhaps just has a difficult child, was behind on 100 assignments at work, has a parent with cancer all while going through a divorce, or whatever, and was just not going to fight this battle with her preschooler today. Without more context, a teacher’s instructions can sound arbitrary and, when weighed against other demands, not essential. Teachers need to communicate when and why things are essential. [/quote]
