[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, I am an over involved, active parent. OK, I admit it I am an heli-parent; Whirly Mom.

I am nice and treat my kids teachers with the utmost respect. I think that most teachers prefer the over involved parent to the deadbeat parent that cant even make time for parent-teacher conferences or the occasional class party.[/quote]

I knew I would strick a chord on that one.  :-o  Teachers do love involved parents, just not ones who think they are the only parent they need to respond to and demand the teacher justify every grade, and immediately question the teacher when something doesn't go right for Susie or Johnny.  Agree also that teachers get very frustrated with parents who do not show for conferences and are next to impossible to reach, but in those cases, let's find out why and what are the barriers that are keeping the parent from being involved.  This is getting OT from the initial question and for that I apologize.  The OP mention sympathizing with teachers who have parents who are not involved.  I'm just trying to point out the other side and other reasons to sympathize with teachers in some cases.  Of course, we all know there are no parents like that here on DCUM!  :wink: [/quote]
