Just a general reply to all posts of thread.

I have zero problem with assuming responsibility for my kids. I have to try to keep up w day to day studies of 7 different subjects for my kid in a limited time w my kids during evenings among other social activities they may be involved in.

The issue is the only discussions teachers have is only what parents need to do more or better. It is never a discussion point of what the employed teacher can do better/ more/ different. Never.

Call them testing administrators and call the parents the teachers.

Anyone who calls me a shitty dad based off of a blow off steam post isn’t worth taking seriously.

If you want to ensure that your kid gets an IEP, tutoring, and testing accommodations put them in public schools where all of that is state mandated.

You provided no evidence so far that the teacher is doing a bad job.

Apparently you do. Your kid’s education isn’t solely the responsibility of the classroom teacher. Study upon study has shown parental support outside of the classroom is the number one thing that correlates with educational success. Teaching shouldn’t stop in the classroom.

Secondly, if you want one on one attention for your child then you either need to hire a tutor, seek after school tutoring, etc. But I have the sneaky suspicion you’d be one of those that would bitch about having to pick their kid up after school or about paying for a tutor anyway.

bullshite. If they’re to that point they’ve likely exhausted what they could in the classroom for your kid.

And those teachers likely have limited funding, limited administrative support, and limited time of their own to dedicate solely to your kid among (what I assume) is at least 6 periods of classes averaging about 30 kids a piece in a period.

Stop expecting them to do your job as a parent.

Screw you. I get hauled in by my admins all the time and asked why kids are struggling as if I’m not teaching. The kids they ask about are lazy and unmotivated and never give any effort. How about we call them on the carpet?

If your kid gives any effort at all, I could make him proficient in my subject. Desire starts with the student.
