[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here at an area independent school. Most parents are respectful and kind. They volunteer and will write an email once in a while to tell you how much their child loved a lesson or if the child needs a bit of help with a lesson. And the occasional Bully Parent? The same every time. It's a mom, babies her child or spoils the child, thinks she knows more about education than a professional educator, typically doesn't let dad know about the obsessive insane emails she writes to the teacher, will send out a long winded emotional email followed up by a call to an administrator then later will send a second email that is somewhat apologetic, doesn't ever want to hear that her child either needs academic or emotional/social support. Her child is perfect and so is she. [/quote]

That's am exact description of the parent I dealt with all year. It's better to communicate with a level-headed father than an unchecked mother who has a lot of time on her hands, a lot of money to throw around, an unchecked emotional state and a refusal to admit or hear that her kid needs help. If we tell you your child needs help its not to hurt your kid it's to HELP your kid![/quote]

I used to teach ok the area and this is SO true. [/quote]

Oh, I've dealt with some nutty fathers over the years, believe me.  One of the highlights was when a father who was a lawyer came in to a parent-teacher conference armed with my most recent test, and proceeded to go through it line by line to tell me how each question wasn't properly worded, was confusing, was ambiguous…  yeah, that was a fun one.
