[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher (and a parent), I am always surprised when a kid tells some story to their parents about what happened in class and the parent refuses to believe that what the kid said isn't true. First of all, kids perceive things differently because they feel like they are under a microscope, but also, kids lie. They lie to get out of trouble, avoid blame or work, and for tons of other weird reasons. A parent refusing to believe an adult who is partnering with them in their child's education is a betrayal. Public service announcement: your kid tells untruths. It's developmentally appropriate. You're not a bad parent when this happens. [/quote] You mean like the superintendent? Same. Lied and said she would move here then didn’t. And look at this forum deleting any attempt to discuss her obligations. Why should students be any different?[/quote]
