[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have had kids lie and we've had teachers lie, it goes both ways.  We've had great teachers, ok and really really bad.

However, what would help is you as a teacher communicating through regular emails.  If you have an issue with my kid, reach out and let me know.  If they are not doing the work, reach out and let me know.  We will handle it.

[b]But, also do your part.  Grade things on time so we know what's going on and what needs improvement.  Put assignments in the proper location online so we can find them to make sure they get done on time.  When kids reach out for extra help, return emails.  When parents email, return emails.  When kids try to ask for help in class, help and don't ignore them[/b].[/quote]

You aren’t the teacher’s boss. No, the pittance of your property taxes that goes directly to public education doesn’t make it so.[/quote]

Expecting professional behavior from a group who demand to be treated like professionals shouldn't be an enormous ask [/quote]

Neat. They still don’t have to listen to you and your list of demands.[/quote]

DP. No, they don’t. But they shouldn’t be surprised that respect for teachers has fallen.[/quote]

[b]It's fine...you absolutely shouldn't be surprised when teachers have no respect for parents either then. Works both ways.[/b][/quote]

DP do you not see the irony of making this statement on a thread started by a teacher venting about how terrible parents are? Is that a respectful, mature or professional way to deal with issues in a workplace?[/quote]

You get back what you put out.[/quote]

I mean this is an extremely dangerous attitude. Neither teachers, nor parents are a monolith. If teachers feel justified in punishing/disbelieving all parents for something they read on an anonymous forum then I don't have much hope that relations between teachers and parents can improve. [/quote]
