[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers are trying so hard. It’s really disappointing to watch them struggle for backing from admin when parents have control like they do here. We all want an amazing education for our kids but a teacher calls home and it’s HER fault the kid is a jerk? Impossible.[/quote]

I don't know. In our ES, there is no hesitation to call home, or send to the office, or speak to the principal. I remember when my kid was in lower ES. Received a call home and I'm thinking "wow this is going to be bad." No, no. It was to report child was playing with an article of clothing -shoestrings- and could you please send kid to school with shoes that lack shoe strings? It's distracting.

I mean, come on. If you can't handle a little kid touching shoestrings in circle time? Maybe you shouldn't be teaching first grade. These were new shoes so, no, that was not going to happen. I wasn't going to go buy new shoes with velcro, esp. when the point of shoe laces were to learn to tie them. We had a talk about distractions in school. But, no, that was ridiculous. And a number of other parents had similar interactions.

I'm not sure what school you work in where parents have all this control . . . but, I can tell you it is not ours.[/quote]
