[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming most or all of you are not teachers I'm going to tell you what 99% of all teachers hate the absolute most about their jobs.  It is the reason many leave the profession and many others sometimes just hate it.

Parents.[/quote]

Honestly want to know, what exactly is it that parents do? I need examples.

I just have a hard time imagining because while I have been vocal to the administration about reopening, and often bring concerns to them, I do not bother our teachers with much. Occasionally send a message asking if they can comment or consider some aspect of my kid's learning which isn't working, but that's about it. Basically we don't communicate a whole lot. I used to stop by at pickup and chat, and even then worried they didn't want to hear from me, but then sometimes I think teachers want to hear from parents more, to form a relationship - so which is it?

I just wonder what are people doing that you hate???[/quote]

I love 96% of my parents! It's just a few, you always get these parents IMO.

1. The parent who thinks I live and breathe their child's education. That my sole reason for existence is to help their child. I am not exaggerating. Emailing 5 times in an hour, asking when I will answer their questions. This is why I can't give parents my phone number anymore.

2. The parent who doesn't care about school. Endless calls, endless reports to CPS. Nothing. No care. Only call is to curse me out if CPS pays them a visit. Oh and then silence because they figure out CPS does nada.[/quote]
