[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do wonder if teachers appreciate parents who mostly keep quiet except the rare occasion something important comes up (maybe once or twice a year).  Sometimes I feel like we are overlooked and the whole squeaky wheel thing.  But still, it’s not my personality to badger teachers and I wouldn’t send my kid to the school if I didn’t trust them to handle most things.[/quote]

Our school lost that trust pretty quickly. They keep parents in the desk about all the classroom antics, behavior problems, and bullying as well as academic standards or lack thereof. They don’t even disclose substitute teacher days, or weeks, to parents of young children. Then when they do, they look like fools who kept a secret for two weeks of zero transparency.

A teacher using pto is none of your business.  No communication with you is needed or expected. [/quote]

Huh?

You school doesn’t email the class if your Elementary aged children has a substitute teacher for 1 or a few days? 
That’s so disruptive to young children, parents could really help. Plus if the school or homeroom teacher isn’t organized subs don’t have much to go by, and one standalone day could easily be a total blow off. A week of it too. 
Ours does and states who the sub is or who was pulled in to sub. Usually it’s a sr admin or experienced teacher or retired teacher or specials teacher.[/quote]
