I love when parents decide to get up on a high horse without ever making an effort to become actively involved in their child's education.
Missing open-houses, back-to-school nights, conferences, never returning phone calls or replying to notes that you send home...then having the audacity to get upset with us the teacher. Surely, the kids of these parents are also likely to be master communicators.
Scene-Conference with irate parents today:
Me: "When Little Johnny gets home from school, what does he tell you about his day?"
Dad: (shifts eyes nervously to look in direction of wife) "Uhm, well, uhm...after school...Little Johnny is really busy with...uhm...well..activities."
IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO TALK TO ME AT LEAST TALK TO YOUR CHILD! GODDAMN! I KNOW THIS AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE ONE!
Parents be crazy.

This is my favorite answer from a conference last night,
ReplyDeleteMe: "So, who does Danny say are his friends from school?"
Mom: "Uhhhh....?" Looks to Danny.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HIS FRIENDS' NAMES.
Just go hang out at the bus stop.
ReplyDeleteThat's apparently where all the parent talk happens at my school...
