Florida teachers have to hide books!

Why do you think they’re one-sided affairs?

Have you ever been in one before? It's the teacher telling the parents about the student, not the parents telling the teacher they don't like what is being taught.


When you’re discussing an academic problem with a parent, you flat out NEED input from the parent’s perspective to accurately evaluate the problem.

Input about the kid, not about the teacher, the subjects being taught, or how those subjects are taught.
 
I don’t care if you don’t believe me. It’s irrelevant. When I make a point, just insert a theoretical teacher and counter the point.

I dunno man, it sure seems like all your credibility here rests on this given circumstance that is just too silly to believe.

Since you don’t believe I’m a teacher, why would you ask that question? Anyway, for the purposes of argument, let’s assume I’ve been to 17 parent-teacher open houses (that’s just what we call them here, there’s no official PTA)


It's the teacher telling the parents about the student, not the parents telling the teacher they don't like what is being taught.

Unless the parents have been called in for a one on one, specific academic or behavioral issue, why would any of that other stuff be brought up? If the student appears happy, loved, engaged and well adjusted, why would I even need a one on one meeting?

Hell yeah it’s about the kids! It’s ALL about the kids! But even if it’s an exigent situation, parents have the right to ask questions and express opinions and even defend their child if they wish. And these issues are generally not brought up in even routine parent/teacher interactions. The proper forum for that discussion is the public school board meetings. Have you ever been to one of those before?

I don't believe you, so you need to rely on something else other than anecdotes that you would never verify as true because they're so obviously lies.

I consider lying about yourself on anonymous message boards a tactic used by those who can't make an argument along empirical lines.

I don't know why...you're the ones who seem to think teaching kids is a job that parents do with teachers.

Do you think because you've driven a car all your life that qualifies you to be a mechanic? No, of course not because that would be stupid.

So then why do you think raising a kid qualifies you to be a teacher?

No.

They do not have those entitlements.

They can either send their kid to public school, or go private or homeschool. That's about it.

Teachers don't come down to where you parent and slap the dick out of your mouth, even though they should since they deal with your shitty kids all day.
 
And these issues are generally not brought up in even routine parent/teacher interactions.

Then why are you of the position that parents should have some kind of influence into what and how their kids are taught?

Why don't you want to leave things to the professionals? Because you don't trust them, clearly. But why don't you trust them? It's not because of anything they've done...you're the one trying to butt into the relationship between an educator and the student.

And it's really hilarious given that is the same accusation you make towards The State.

Parents are fucking idiots who have no fucking idea what goes into teaching kids, and they have an entitlement mentality that they think they are owed influence into what the kid is taught and how they're taught.

Says who? You? Go fuck yourself, liar.

There is no appropriate time for that discussion because parents aren't educators, aren't trained as educators, aren't certified as educators, and haven't set foot in a classroom in decades.

What qualifies parents to even "ask questions"? Nothing.

So it's entitlement...again.

Parents think they're entitled to dictate how their kids are educated in the public school system, and I just don't see why or how they got that entitlement.
