Help me understand mom's

Why would you call a teacher to scream at her because your child had A's and B's on their progress report?

I don't get it.  We had a parent do this and now I'm being drug into another parent/teacher conference because this parent is upset that her child has a/b's.

1. This is a progress report not report card

2. This is the first 6 weeks of school

3. It's good grades

4. Child is SPED (needs to be out honestly)

Even if you did disagree, yelling doesn't seem appropriate.

I have a feeling parents/teachers are going to kill me this year.  Can I just keep my students sequestered in my room until May?

Re: Help me understand mom's

  • So wait, did she just want her kid to get A's?

    If she was THAT concerned about B's, she could call and ask where/how she can help her child at home to get them there, but yell at you!  What the heck!

  • Well, you see, her kid deserves all As. S/he doesn't have to earn them; they should be given out freely and automatically because her kid is special. If the kid isn't making all As, it is because the teacher is prejudiced. And the mom has to have this taken care of before report card time. We can't have Bs on something as lasting and permanent as a report card.

    If you only knew just how true this was!  Hilarious though!

    The mom didn't yell at me but the homeroom teacher.  I just got drug into it.  Funny thing is, this parent has NEVER come to a parent/teacher conference call or SPED meeting in 4 years!!!

    Just got a phone call that she called to cancel the meeting.  It just didn't work out with her schedule.  WTH lady?  YOU scheduled the meeting....idiot

    I hate hate HATE when parents do that - especially since she's never been to a conference or meeting before this blow-up. It's so hard to keep your temper in check when people pull ish like that. Ugh.

    Because the "you" in question is an entitled idiot who is raising a future entitled idiot.
