Good to see someone in the MSM supporting teachers.

[Radio4Rocks]

Teacher bashing has become a national sport.

Of course its deliberate. I'd expect nothing less from a troll.

Whatever, you’re clearly too blinkered to have any kind of ability to reflect on the stuff you’ve said. You’re determined to twist this to fit your own narrative so there’s no point in engaging with you. No awareness of the fact that you’re overwhelmingly the one posting antagonistic comments.

No just reading and commenting on the article.

Would expect Teachers to have better reading comprehension.

Have a lovely Sunday.

As a PP mentioned maybe read and share something of higher quality.

Higher quality than the Independent?! Besides, I thought you were off...

People keep tagging me 😁

Shouldn’t be too difficult to find something better than this nonsense!

@babyitscovidinsideandoutside I’m still waiting for you to point me in the direction of the many parent bashing threads you’ve mentioned...

This one you are already on, right in front of you!

I’m considering tagging a link to this thread on all prominent retweets of this article. It’s proof of exactly what is highlighted.

That Parent Bashing is acceptable whilst pretending it’s actually Teacher Bashing by Teachers with no reading comprehension 🤣

Also that article very explicitly refers to some parents although @babyitscovidinsideandoutside seems to be explicitly saying otherwise...

“ Here’s a question that applies to only some of them. Having come to an understanding of how hard it is to educate children, why are you throwing bricks at people who have to handle not just one or two, or maybe three, but thirty? Maybe even more, given the underfunding of schools by a government dominated by people whose parents had the means to opt-out of the state system.”

Please let teachers do the job they have been trained to do

Honestly if I let my child’s secondary school teachers do the job they’ve been trained to do he’d get no qualifications but worse still not be able to reason, write or do anything of a level to get him into employment.

His teachers don’t teach, feedback, communicate - nothing. They just don’t care.

It’s awful when he’s actually at school and even more apparent now it’s all online.

I am not a trained teacher but can motivate, engage my child in learning, encourage him to problem solve etc

I’m sure some schools and some teachers are great but ours most certainly aren’t.

Why are you replying to me baby? Thought you were off. I didn’t tag you so off you go.

@babyitscovidinsideandoutside

Parent shaming would be tarring all parents with the one brush. However, all parents are not obtuse twats most parents are lovely and a pleasure to deal with. Some are dicks, however, this isn't all parents. It is a minority. That's why teachers don't have threads bashing all parents, parents aren't treated as a blanket section of society.

You haven't actually stated why you hate teachers. You haven't stated what your job is. You haven't stated why teachers aren't fulfilling their role for your children.

Just lots and lots of hyperbole statements playing the victim. Pathetic.

@babyitscovidinsideandoutside well we’ve already established that no/one on this thread has slagged off all parents. Where are all the others you refer to? Or are you talking bollocks....

@Dustyboots I asked this in another thread but if you truly think they are “shit” (what you said on another thread), why don’t you move your child to another school?

^His teachers don’t teach, feedback, communicate - nothing. They just don’t care.

Then you need to complain to the head, or move him to a different school.

This is a quote from the article the Thread is about, again from @sorearse7

@year5teacher

Parent Bashing.

Nowhere does it say a few or even a minority of Parents.

@babyitscovidinsideandoutside

It says the noisiest parents. Maybe if you didn't just read the parts that suit your agenda you would have realised that.

It was a variation of the proverb "Empty vessels make the most noise". Perhaps you're familiar with it..

Not one teacher actually teaches or marks in the whole of your secondary school ?

If this was the case before the pandemic why haven’t you moved him ?

Blaming Parents again?

Good question @motherrunner

We’ve agonised over moving him. Short answer is he has a strong group of friends there and doesn’t want to move or be home schooled permanently.

Other schools in our area are just as shit so he’d be jumping from the frying pan into more fire.

Only option is to home school after school which is exhausting for him and me. It’s all wrong.

In this case yes, @babyitscovidinsideandoutside. Because it's baffling to me that someone whose child is getting such shit teaching wouldn't do something about it.

dusty sorry your sons school isn’t good. Is there scope to move him to another one?

I have complained to the head and teachers. It makes no difference. It’s a sinking ship - it feels.

I’m sorry Dusty that must be tough.

How old is he? I’d be thinking about a move.

Dusty go to the governors. It might make no difference but it's worth a try
