[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP seems more moderate than the person who posted the blanket statement that parents are CRAZY. Certainly some parents are probably unreasonable, but unless you are a trained professional, throwing around terms like crazy, insane, helicoptering, and pita strike me as unprofessional. Once professionals including teachers lose their ethics it's a long road back to professionalism. The great teachers are individualistic and they are altruistic. They throw everything they have into classroom teaching. They don't save juicy tidbits for the[b] cesspool some people call the teacher's lounge,[/b] or for DCUM, and they don't work the barest number of years possible before they depart for some menial job in administration.

I'm truly trying to be moderate in this posting, but it is difficult. There are truly great teachers who give so much more than they receive, but there still remain far too many who just do it as an hourly paying job and not particularly well. They have become teachers for a variety of selfish reasons and then they demonstrate their limited intellect by calling people names. These are the people representing your profession.

Hopefully, you're one of the good ones[/quote]

Anyone else think the teachers at PP's school have been warning each other about her? The obsession with teacher "cliques" and "teacher's (sic) lounges" is really striking. After reading PP's posts, incuding the sock-puppetted ones like this one, I have to say her teachers have definitely earned my sympathy.[/quote]
