[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine having to manage your co-workers AND their parents. Nurses know our struggle.

I'll put the mic down now.

People in the medical field have to manage patients and their families. I’m a civil rights lawyer, and I need to manage the people on whose behalf I’m advocating (who are not my clients, because I work for the government) plus my client and employer plus the families plus affected communities plus advocacy groups. The list goes on and on.

I am incredibly grateful to my child’s teacher. I suspect she doesn’t complain like the teachers on DCUM do. I don’t understand why the teachers here think the things they complain about are unique to teaching. You’d get less flack if you complained less.[/quote]

You'd be complaining too if students with behavior issues were ruining your child's classroom. Should teachers just suck it up and pretend this isn't a huge issue? My son is in 1st grade and it's not the second year that his class is being ruined by ONE student. This student regularly causes the rest of the class to have to evacuate, sometimes several times per day. I'm basically teaching my son how to read since this student is interrupting the teacher so much that she can barely get any teaching in. [/quote]
