From what I Gather from the teachers posts is that that teachers need to take a step back and take the personal out of it.
When an OP starts a thread regarding her child’s teacher, they are talking about THEIR child teacher and not generalising the profession as a whole, it’s simply regarding their personal experience and their child.
When an OP like this one has started a thread as their children’s education is. It being met it that the provisions given (or not in some cases) AGAIN does not mean she is generalising about the teaching profession as a whole. Its simply HER experience and her issue with that individual teacher or school.
I’ve had my own professional bashing’s threads in my previous career as a social worker (EDT child protection) in that all social workers are crap, however as a professional you know that this isn’t the case and that it’s just that individuals experience/opinion.
I see very few threads On MN that an OP’s starts a thread that “All teachers are crap” because the reality is, this isn’t being said at all.
What I do see however as of late is that parents are frustrated that their child’s education/issues are not being met or handled sufficiently.... and when voicing their concerns they are then told at times aggressively “yet another teacher bashing thread” when the reality and content of the post is nothing of the sort.
Just because an OP starts a thread or another poster joins in to comments on THEIR similar experience etc... does not also equate to a whole profession being generalised.
Some from what I see and read on here don’t want any teacher threads being stared at all, unfortunately with any professions you get the good and bad and I’m afraid to say teachers aren’t above approach.
I’ve met some shockingly awful lazy teachers who allow their bias to get in the way, equally I’ve met some amazing teachers who do a wonderful job.
It’s content that matters.
