[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP, who is the only one to know the child, believes the stories are not true.

But DCUM, who has no knowledge of the student or the teacher, decided to condemn the teacher anyway. Because that’s how we roll here, right?

Imagine being a teacher these days, knowing that parents quickly and gleefully jump on the teacher-take down train.

Innocent until proven guilty, unless you’re a teacher, that is. [/quote]

Reading comp issues. None of us are condemning the teacher. We think it's all normal, with the possible exception of sharing 504 details (but my kid's teachers all need to ask everyone with extended time to come at lunch time, so it's inevitable that some details are going to be public).

It's OP who is de facto condemning the teacher, because she thinks the allegations are so out there that she prefers to think her own child is lying rather than believe a teacher would say these things. And we are here to tell her that teachers say such things all the time, and that it's not a big deal.

You're really stupid.

You lost your argument the second you called me stupid. That’s what happens when you resort to insults.

No, teachers don’t say such things “all the time.” How do I know? Because I am employed in a school. And yes, I do think it’s a “big deal” to casually assume fault on the part of the teacher. But perhaps that’s because facts matter to me more than opinions.

And, since you brought up reading comprehension: the OP didn’t condemn the teacher as much as subsequent posters did. The OP questioned the source: the child. It’s other posters who jumped on the “teachers are weird” bandwagon. I’d prefer not to make blanket judgments. But you do you. [/quote]
