[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers and parents share far too much in common for all of this fighting.

Teachers are stuck in a bad spot in all of this. I genuinely believe this.

Kids are being used as leverage. Nothing new.

Teachers and parents need to focus on their SHARED concerns. The only ones who benefit from divided teachers and parents are those who profit off of controlling teachers’ availability as leverage against parents.

Focus on education. Both teachers and parents should be willing to hold out from participating in the system until the system provides teachers the resources and support that parents and teachers both expect. Stop fighting each other. [/quote]

Nope. This isn't "fighting". There are no "both sides".

Teachers are busy teaching.

Administrators are busy trying to figure out how to open building for more kids.

A small group of entitled, ignorant parents are whining and trying to bully teachers because think they can get away with it.

Really? How is anything in that post “bullying”?  Looks to me like you would rather call names and stoke the flames of division between parents and teachers than seek positive change for the education of children.

- Parent who foolishly thought the purpose of public schools was to educate children (when it is really meant to pit two parties (parents and teachers) against each other to obtain and hold power for a third party (guess who)).[/quote]

I didn't say that post was bullying. There are countless threads though that are full of bullies hating on teachers - take your pick.

Schools are educating kids.

Most parents & teachers are working together.

A small subset of entitled, ignorant parents have decided to throw a temper tantrum because they didn't get their (unrealistic) way.
