[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I really don’t know what it means that the parents were not receptive to working as a team. Parents are not in the classroom (or even allowed in school buildings lately). Other than reinforcing expectations at home, it’s really hard for them to be involved in classroom management in real time. [/b]It sounds like this child has other challenges going on and the parents are trying to find a more suitable environment for him. He is a child, and while I’m sure he made your job more difficult, I can’t believe that he had no positive personal qualities or characteristics that you could highlight. [/quote]

Wow. And this is part of the problem. Working as a team has nothing to do with “classroom management.”[/quote]

+1 this is the real problem. How can you not understand what it means to work as a team with your kid and teacher? If the OP did not care about the kid they would not be asking for suggestions. Let's stop blaming teachers for kids that have problems. [/quote]

Not blaming teacher. Sincerely asking, what do you mean when you want parents to “work as a team” particularly with covid restrictions? [/quote]

I would guess it means that the child was being disruptive and parents were not working with the kid at home to stop the disruptions. Since this was last year, I doubt it was virtual school. Ie Teacher calls home or emails home that the child is doing X in class and the parents refuse to believe it, Larlo is aweomse and would never, or didn’t talk to the kid or didn't discipline the kid.

Ot the Child wasn’t completing work or doing work properly because the kid was goofing off and the Teacher sent it home to be completed but the parents didn’t have the kid complete it at home.

Whatever the exact scenario, the Teacher reached out to the parents to try and address issues and the parents either didn’t respond or blew off what the Teacher was telling them. The kdis behavior was crappy, nothing changed, and now the parents want to move to Private. It could be that the Parents think the school sucks and Private will be better. It could be the Parents think a different environment would work better for their child. It could be the parents are in denial about their kids behavior and think a change of location is all that is needed. [/quote]
