[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People put way too much on schools. Schools cannot be parents. If your child is depressed for whatever reason, it is your responsibility to get them help. If they miss their friends, it is your job to find safe ways to socialize. Schools are for academics. That is their role. If your kid is sad, bored, misses her friends, that's your job to help her. It's not her school's job.[/quote]

Whew so either you're not a teacher or you didn't pay attention in any of our classes where they went over the multiple social roles of public education.[/quote]

Nope. Teachers I know want to teach. Not be social workers, counselors and other roles that should exist outside of school. Your kid has mental health issues? Go find a counselor. Your kid needs to socialize? Go call some friends.[/quote]
Yup. It is absolutely not the teacher’s role to be a counselor, a social liaison, or an entertainer. As a parent, you are exclusively responsible for your own children. Find a therapist, socialize with your children, encourage them to zoom with their friends or do outdoor activities. Those things have nothing to do with education. [/quote]
