When I earned an additional advanced degree, I submitted transcripts to my school district for the pay raise. HR has that on file. The only time I ever transcripts to the state was when I first moved here out of college, to obtain initial certification. My additional degree did not change my certification to teach subjects so there was no need to submit anything. I suppose parents could search me and think I’m not as educated but this wouldn’t bother me. I’ve never thought about it until this moment. I’m also not asking anyone to call me Dr.

It’s an issue if she’s telling a lie but that’s it. Have you directly asked her about her doctorate program if you are curious?

I truly don't understand why a parent is so obsessed with a teacher from a school where her children NO LONGER ATTEND...

We have much bigger fish to fry in this world people..

Great entertainment for a Tues night though....

Right?? Such good stuff. I think we may even be getting close to Jeff's Most Active Thread List!

So glad I posted. I really do feel so much better about the entire situation. Thanks all!

So you’re just a narcissist.

Like, I literally just got an email from my compliance and risk manager that an award /recognition I've received for years and year wasn't updated on my website to show I also received it the last two years. And recognition I received from a national publication in 1999 wasn't submitted properly and I now need documentation to show I did receive it.

So yeah, I need to constantly review and provide documentation that I am who I am and I've done what I've done. I expect the same of the people teaching my kids...

Sounds like homeschooling is right for you.

Yes - I think this makes sense. As the PP asked - what consequences do I want? Or the other PP who said what a fool I will feel when it turns out she does have a doctorate and just doesn't want to report it --

I think I would feel GREAT if it turns out VADOE was wrong. YAY - she can report it and get a pay raise!!
And if she really doesn't have it -- I think I would just like to see her be called Ms. or Mrs. X.

That's it -- order restored. No "alternative facts" -- no playing doctor.

So I sent her an email this morning -- and referenced that I did talk to both of her Assistant Principals last year about this.

Hi -

Not sure if you are aware, but your PhD in Education studies does not appear on the Virginia Department of Education licensing website.

https://vadoe.mylicense.com/verification/Search.aspx?facility=N

It looks like you just renewed your license in June of this year (since it doesn't expire until 2032).

I apologize for never asking you directly where you received your doctorate -- I did ask XXXX and XXXX last December, but they couldn't tell me.

Anyway - since this database is accessible to the public -- thought you should know that your teaching license isn't reflecting your doctorate.
*************************************

PP who asked why I had not just asked her before - well, given all the stuff that went on her in classroom -- things she would tell me about my child (or was said about other kids) that could not be corroborated by other teachers etc -- I figured she wouldn't necessarily tell me anyway -- so I let it go from last December.
I didn't see this VADOC website database until someone on DC URBAN MOM posted about it this summer or so in reference to teachers being hired with provisional licensing etc. That's when I looked her up and found that she didn't have a PhD or EdD listed.

Bravo.

Agree. The email was professional. Hopefully this gives you closure.

I seriously doubt the teacher will even respond to this nutjob.
