f/u to post about my behaviour student
Well the meeting today went I guess as well as could be expected. The parents blamed me for their child's difficulty, which had it been true the resource teacher, principal, or anyone else should have been able to get him to focus and do his work. They took no ownership of the situation and the possibility of bad parenting. They are fully intending to return him to school next year and mom is not really looking forward to homeschooling but is committed to it until the end of the year.
Today he stood up in class and announced it when, of course, he was supposed to be working.
So it is what it is, I am not taking it personally and the parents have said if these next couple days aren't working they will pull him early.
Re: f/u to post about my behaviour student
That is a difficult situation, but I definitely wouldn't take it personally (although it would be hard not to). The thing that bothers me most about these types of situations is that all it teaches the kid is to not own up to any responsibility for his actions. If his parents can't take any responsibility, and they pull him out of any situation that might be challenging AND blame the school for it - then he will never learn how to be accountable for anything.
I have seen this type of thing happen with someone I know and all it led to was him eventually being arrested for criminal activity (because his parents defended his actions in any situation even though they knew he was in the wrong). Argghhh!
I'm not a teacher but my whole family is and so I often hear stories similar to this.
Do not take it personally.
Here is what I see happening : This year they blame you for the kid's problems. Next year with a new teacher they will have the same problems yet it will still be that teachers problem and so on and so on.
It's sad to think this is how they are raising their child but you have a room full of students who want to learn and need your attention so if this child is leaving you just got an early christmas present.
