Since it Keeps Coming Up...

The parent teacher conferences is where things got heated, ...

I don't buy that for a second. Parent-teacher conferences generally involve some form of personal meeting between parents of students (one parent or set of parents at a time). The teacher goes over the class syllabus, the student's grades and usually some classwork, and answers any questions the parent(s) may have. Not the context or circumstances for anyone to get "heated."

This is how I know you're lying. Either about being a teacher or what you have seen, or what you teach.

If you've never seen a parent teacher conference get heated, then you have either never participated in one or . . . well no, that is the only possibility, other than some near impossible statistical anomoly in which you have been to a handful and none of them got heated.

Or maybe you're a shop teacher that doesn't talk to parents? Or a teacher's aide that doesn't go to meetings? No shame in that, our paras are invaluable, but tell the truth.

Parent teacher meetings get heated. As a brand new teacher the third one I was in overheated within the first thirty seconds, with mom litterally yelling "I know my rights!" My department chair was interning as an administrator trainee, but she went to get the principal to sit in when mom started getting loud.

That mom was mean, a toxic parent (of eleven kids), and probably one of the worst human beings I have ever known. But she had a right to disagree with the school and WITHOUT being investigated by the FBI and given an EDUOFFICIALS label in her file.

I was a teacher for 21 years and never had a parent-teacher conference get heated. If I ever thought a parent might get angry, I always arranged for an administrator to be present. I never had one get heated in the nearly two years that I observed as an administrator. You must have a problem.

Unless you informed the FBI of the issue, how the f^&* would they learn about it? You are so full of shit!

Whoops!

Unkotare, you forgot to switch out of your "admiral" account!

You have to take your time to be a successful sockmaster.

You are so stupid. I was an assistant principal of a high school in Florida. Unkatore is a SEL teacher in Boston. You can take your sock and be your own "sockmaster-baiter".

Sorry, I cannot respond to you on this thread since you are being too obvious with the puppetry. Switch back to "unkotare" and we can talk.

I will not support your delusions.

...

So, you're full of shit. That has been clear for quite a long time now.

 

[Unkotare]

....

If you've never seen a parent teacher conference get heated, then you have either never participated in one or . . . ....

or I'm honest and direct with parents and other family, and treat them with at least as much respect as I treat my students.

 

[Unkotare]

... some near impossible statistical anomoly in which you have been to a handful and none of them got heated.
...

Not "a handful," many hundreds at least.

 

[Unkotare]

...

Or maybe you're a shop teacher that doesn't talk to parents? ...

Not a shop teacher, but why wouldn't one talk to parents? My son's shop teacher is an old family friend.

 

[Unkotare]

...Or a teacher's aide that doesn't go to meetings? ...

Wrong again.

 

[Unkotare]

....As a brand new teacher the third one I was in overheated within the first thirty seconds....

You're missing the most obvious conclusion: YOU WERE BEING AN ASSHOLE.

 

[Unkotare]

... probably one of the worst human beings I have ever known. ...

Hmmm.....

 

[Woodznutz]

When education cared about students' minds, the retarded Singular They, which you just used, would have gotten a student the dunce cap

I knew it was wrong, but I was too lazy to correct it. I'm usually more careful.

Nearly all of the parent teacher conferences I've been involved in are due to a kid being behind in academic classes. Something you would know if you had been a teacher for any length of time.

Your "old family friend" example of you knowing more than anyone else is not impressive. Remember, you are supposed to have the knowledge of at least two people, maybe more depending on how many accounts you're running, so you set the bar high for yourself.

Then you were doing something wrong. Parent-teacher conferences are regularly scheduled throughout the academic year, and I reach out to families at other times to come in (or online) to discuss students who have areas they need to work on as well as those who are doing particularly well. Both are just as important. "Something you would know if..."

 

[Unkotare]

...

Your "old family friend" example of you knowing more than anyone else is not impressive. ...

Wasn't looking to impress you, just correct you. Again.

 

[Unkotare]

...

Wrong, wrong, and wrong.

 

[Unkotare]

Whoops!

You have to take your time to be a successful sockmaster.

Your eagerness to make a fool of yourself is remarkable.
