One of the things that "burnt me out" was that the parents ignored their kids and teachers where I was teaching.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-24062267657086654282008-09-03T10:10:00.000+03:002008-09-03T10:10:00.000+03:00I empathise!

I hate starting a new school with my two oldest kids and explaining WHY they have a different last name, where their father is (isn't) and so forth, but the teachers need to know. Teachers need to know all this stuff.<BR/><BR/>A friend sent her son off to high school in a dorm school and decided that telling the school that the kids is hypoglycemic threw them into such a tizzy that they held back the info that he has to take Ritalin. He did NOT take his Ritalin and he almost failed out! The school had no idea why until they had a meeting AFTER the school year ended and the parents mentioned that they thought the kid had not been taking his Ritalin.<BR/><BR/>No Ritalin flames please. :)<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you handle the whole thing with dignity for everyone involved, but you're right. You have to tell them.Ye'he Sh'mey Raba Mevorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10880916203103730085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-21257543576496957302008-09-03T01:06:00.000+03:002008-09-03T01:06:00.000+03:00Teachers can be helpful in these 'situations'.

When I was a teacher (a long time ago) the thing that bothered me most was when parents didn't take an interest in what their kids were doing in school.Risa Tzoharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012097234847651866noreply@blogger.com
