| | So as a teacher, I am constantly abused by the parents of the students that I teach. They blame the teachers for their son or daughter losing their bookbag, coat, cellphone, not getting an A, not understanding math, etc. The strange thing is, I am never attacked for not teaching the math. Nobody argues with me there. Thank goodness, but I'm so tired of myself and my coworkers being blamed for things wholly out of my control. I cannot help you if your child is talking, cursing, hitting, and conducting himself in a generally unacceptable manner and horses around the entire class period, refusing to listen, participate, take notes or actively attempt to try the new skills or apply the new knowledge.
Enough is enough.
But while looking for legal work in education, I found the following:
How to Solve Problems and Protect Parent-School Relationships
- Pete and Pam Wright offer advice about how to resolve problems with
the school by restructuring relationships, learning effective advocacy
skills, using strategies in letters, and learning to negotiate and
persuade. Learn why Pam says, "You need to view your relationship with the school as a marriage without the possibility of divorce."
Now, if only the parents of my students read that--hehehe.
