I have been Called to the Principal's Office

kwc is such a pussy that s/he negged me for this post, but is too scared to post in this thread. She doesn't have the balls to confront me

Excellent! You created a job just because you can't get your son to bring his work home himself.

The important line in Samsons' post

I'd love to do this, but the burden then becomes as much mine as anyone.

God forbid samson be burdened by the childs' education.

I negged you because you are an ignorant fuckwad who has some personal thing for Samson. I've confronted you multiple times in this thread concerning your douchebaggery. To confront you again wouldn't serve any purpose because you'll just continue to be an unreasonable douche. Samson didn't dreate a job. They already have someone filling the role and that person will now do what the lazy assed public servants wuldn't do......provide reasonable feedback to a parent about their child's progress. It isn't a matter of Samson's child not bringing papers home, it's a matter of papers not being returned to the student to be able to bring them home and the teacher still not providing graded papers to a parent when asked......but you already knew that if you actually read the thread. My son is a senior this year and I haven't seen a single school paper since 6th grade. They keep notebooks that they have to put their returned papers in and they are not allowed to remove the notebook from the class. The only time a parent can see them is at parent/teacher conference time or at the end of the year when they are released to bring them home. That's bullshit. We have an online system where we can track our children's grades, but that is all it is. It might be a 95 or a 59. You have no idea what the lesson was, what kind of questions or problems were on the paper and why they had a problem that resulted in a 59 instead of a 95. Add to that that some teachers don't update the online system for weeks and all of a sudden you find out your child has a D in a class because they struggled with a concept 3 weeks ago and it is too late to address. Our taxes pay for our schools and our children's education. Expecting timely feedback on progress is not being a pain in the ass to the school system or teachers. Samson has a reasonable request and has gotten nothing but a bureaucratic run around all semester long. You obviously have no children or have no interest in your children's education if you can't understand the issue in this thread. All you've done thru this whole thread is take cheap personal shots at Samson because you've got some sort of vindictive hard on for him. Consider this the last time I will waste any time "confronting" the fuckwad you are. But I'll continue to neg you if you continue to be a douche.

It looks like the coward finally worked up the stones to actually post something. Too bad the delicate flower has to be encouraged into the light.

I would point out that you're a moron as I wasn't encouraged into the light. A simple sampling of the pages of this thread by anyone of average intelligence will show that I've posted many, many consistent posts in this thread.....but naturally, it would go over your little pinhead as usual. Oh yeah, you might want to hold off on neg repping someone until you can do better than -8 points. That's kind of like a mouse trying to fuck an elephant. You might get off, but the elephant is totally unaware that anything happened. Dipshit.

YOu may have posted in this thread, but you were still too chicken to confront me until I posted about your cowardly behavior

Samson may have been a pain in the ass to his son's school but you can be sure that everyone there now knows that you can't ignore concerned parents every time with no repercussions.

I thought parental participation was supposed to be the panacea to improve schools? Hahaha, I guess that only pertains to some other type of parent eh?

Ummm, since there were no repercussions from Samsons' whining, I have no idea why you think the teachers learned anything about repercussions

I've always taught elementary, but I certainly would like to know what my son was doing in the upper grades as well. Didn't have that problem. I would just tell the teachers if you can't send the papers home each week, I will come on Monday after school after you have graded them on the weekend to see exactly what he missed and we will be going over them the following week. See you on Mondays.

And show up each MOnday after school and wait for their excuses. Document what they say and make your appointment with the Superintendent if you don't find common ground with the principal.

I'd love to do this, but the burden then becomes as much mine as anyone.

At any rate, after the meeting with the district, they have offered, in writing, sent by certified mail, a satisfactory solution:

A school employee, a Paper-Gathering Specialist, will collect specimens of my kid's work on a weekly basis from all his teachers, and will send this home with my kid on Friday.

Gee, our school used to send a book home every night. In it you would find a list of all the assignments the kid was supposed to be completing that evening. You had to sign off that you had read the book at night. Also, you knew that every Friday a sample of the student's work would be coming home from every class. No paper-gathering specialist or (gasp) computer needed.

Samsons kid is receiving every graded assignment. The school is doing everything it is supposed. The problem is that Samson can't get his kid to bring the graded work home for Samson to see, so he's trying to blame the school for his own failure to teach his kid how to bring the work home.

BTW there's no such thing as a paper gathering specialist. Samson made that up to hide his total failure. His kid is still not bringing home the work, and the teachers aren't complying with his demands

 

[saveliberty]

Sangha, your on ignore. I could care less if you agree or disagree. Just go away.

I'm not going anywhere, and if you had me on ignore, how did you read my post? And if you don't care, why are you responding to me?

Appreciate the discussion with the many of you who have provided some interesting POV.

I'd also hope that if anyone at USMB has a problem with a public school, then they may learn from this thread that all school systems have a procedure for reconciling parental concerns, but it will take persistance and gathering evidence to move them to change. I have successfully advocated for my son, and the school has complied.

If any of you would like to continue the poo flinging at Shagnone in this thread, then be my guest. Frankly it would be much more interesting to see what sort of thread Shagnone could start in the Education Forum that would hold any significance to anyone.

But he/she/it won't.

With that, I'm unsubscribing from the thread (again).

as someone who has taken up issues with schools and schoolboards I would like to second Samson's call to become involved. many improvements can be made simply by making the problems known. no problem was ever solved by everybody ignoring it.
