[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher and I've seen parents lie, other teachers lie and admins lie.
Parents tend to lie about:  Their address, [b]that they completely got rid of the lice[/b], that they help their kids with sight words at home, that they read to their kids at home, that no- no other teacher has ever had trouble with Johnny's behavior.  They tend to lie and say their kid doesn't have any issues.  Mostly, though, what I see is parents who promise to help their kid at home and don't.  
Teachers tend to lie about: some of the interventions they are supposed to be doing in the classroom, some falsify data
Principals:  I've seen principals lie to Child protective services "No, I never told teacher X not to report child abuse my the priest" (this actually happened to me as a teacher, I reported anyways).  I've seen principals cheat on state exams.  [/quote]

+1 to all of the above, but especially the bolded. Also, lying about their kids being fever-free or diarrhea free before returning to school. I help out in the clinic at my kids' school and the kids rat their parents out on this one all.the.time.[/quote]
