[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of these disgruntled teachers would even have jobs if it wasn't for our kids. [/quote]

Not true at all.  If you sent your DC to private or homeschooled, the teachers would still have jobs, and their jobs would be much easier.  As rewarding?  Maybe, maybe not.  [/quote]

With that attitude towards children with special needs, good luck on your evals this year. You sound like your Praxis scores were low. [/quote]

I'm not a teacher, I'm a parent.  And I'm aware of how obnoxious/disruptive/unenjoyable my DC can be.  I'm grateful for the teachers who are willing and able to look past that (it hasn't the majority of them).

Some of the posts on this thread are discouraging in their animosity and aggressiveness.  [/quote]

Some parents have had to deal with things like a team not allowing a 1 on 1 for a child with severe autism, and not conducting an FBA when a child had behavior issues and illegally sending them home instead. As long as nobody's getting verbally abusive to school staff, it's ok to not be warm and fuzzy during an IEP meeting. I think as women, we can have complexes with this sometimes. [/quote]

Most teachers are women. No, you should be respectful.

And ok, how about parents who hit their kids stomach and send them to school saying the staff did it?
The kid who told me their parents beats them with a belt at home cause they are ‘retarded’ anyway.
Parents who refuse to call their child autistic instead of saying ‘has autism?’

Don’t act like all parents are good and want the best. Some teachers are god awful but so are some parents.[/quote]

I never said to be disrespectful. I hope you aren't teaching ELA with that reading comprehension. It's perfectly okay to not be smiles and sunshine if a team wants to put up roadblocks to needed services, as a prior teacher in the thread admitted her admin would instruct her to do before meetings. The fact that you can compare a parent not simpering in your face to brutal child abuse says everything about your mindset...[/quote]

I hope you aren’t a parent with that big old stick up your bum, must be divorced.

How TF do you know what is needed? Most of you don’t know the first thing about teaching and listen to your advocate who was in the classroom for under 5 years or not at all lol. You know your child which entitles you to an opinion but not the only one.

Oh who lacks comprehension now? I said respect.
