Sign up to be a parent volunteer in a school or become a substitute teacher and your lowly view of teachers will dramatically change. Your comment is proof of what Peter says "'the more neglectful the parent, the more the teacher or others will be blamed. Teaching is a thankless job.TxTchrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-45280267854481162822013-03-17T09:55:17.380-04:002013-03-17T09:55:17.380-04:00You know ...

If most teachers were trustworthy, contained their exercises of influence to scholastics and weren't simply drones implementing a government social program.... Then most teachers would be trusted. There are bad parents but there are also bad teachers - Lots. <br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-62556669119395690052013-03-16T10:17:33.781-04:002013-03-16T10:17:33.781-04:00Does *not* get him.....Does *not* get him.....Kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345873534487511205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-29147783739361799842013-03-16T10:16:35.391-04:002013-03-16T10:16:35.391-04:00I just received a call from my son's teacher t...I just received a call from my son's teacher this past Tuesday about his behavior in classes. Four of his teachers were on the conference call. My reaction? Why, yes, give him lunch detention. I made him write an apology letter to each of the teachers and grounded him. Aren't you on my side, he asked. I told him that I *am* on his side and so are the teachers and we expected better. He's a gifted student but that does get him out of being a polite one!!<br />Kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345873534487511205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-91021356889456677692013-03-15T20:51:13.622-04:002013-03-15T20:51:13.622-04:00As a teacher, I appreciate this article very much....As a teacher, I appreciate this article very much.

I have heard them speak of such parents in frustration.<br />I was definitely a pain in the@$$ at times (good student, liked to push limits in creative not destructive Watts) and I am so thankful for the excellent public education I received in Waupun, WI in the 80s and 90s.<br />There were a few in particular that I'll never forget who really went above and beyond. Mrs. Kloostra, Mr. Gunderson, Mrs. K.

She later told me if they had told me i would be training the new staff i would have started the doubting i was good enough etc. They said we knew you were god enough welse we wouldn't have got you training them.<br /><br />I was lucky also that my mom would answer any question i had on any subject as best she could or point me to someone who could.<br />As a baby i was a nosey lil geek, she would leave me in my pram outside the shop (those were the days)I would sit up and watch the world go by, she would come outto see me babbling away to someone, an animal or the world in general.<br />When i was 6 months old mum and dad put me in a baby bed as i kept escaping from the cot by undoing all the screws and sliding out the bottom, leaving bedclothes undisturbed and no me, this was even after dad used cables to stop said escapes.<br /><br />I think she found me a bit scary at times.<br /><br />I find it sad today that teachers often don't want to teach, pupils don't want to learn and the parents don't care as long as they get their smokes and booze.<br />When teachers do tr and teach they get abused, demeaned, threatened and often told you must do this not that so no one feels hard done by, everyone is equal, don't correct mistakes and there must never be winners and losers.<br /><br />In time we will stop making advances and start going backwards, perhaps eventually ending up with sticks and stones and grunts.Tania Cadoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511272355142175684noreply@blogger.com
