Think you should start a parent bashing thread myself. Every school has their own examples of completely crapola parents.

Yes, that's a good one, but don't forget that it's probabably the teacher's fault too for being nasty to the little darling

Yes because we all went into the profession because we enjoy bullying the vulnerable!

It staggers me that parents/kids seem to genuinely think this sometimes.

Of course. The best being the ones that insist that their cherubic little darling would never bully other children. And how dare you suggest such a thing. Usually said in a shouty, aggressive, threatening sort of way.

My sister could write a book about parents.

Ridiculously absent training in SEN but arrogant denial of this to parent who have not!?

Perhaps we could include the new thingy, that teachers shouldn't suffer stress, and that we overeact of OFSTED because we are shite.

Don't forget that everyone who works outside the industry knows how stressful it is, and their jobs are just as stressful but without the holidays

Going on too many trips
Not going on enough trips
Taking own kids on trips
Trips too expensive
Trips not ed-you-kaysh-unal enough
Not allowing parents to ring on trips
Not allowing parents to meet up on the trip wtaf!

bish bash bosh

Yes Starlight, that's true...... and we must have in depth knowledge of every type of sen

• She is very advanced for their age
• He didn't do XXXX before he came here
• She must have picked it up from another child
• My child wouldnt lie! When he tells me that you make them stand in the rain in their underwear and whip them with nettles, then I believe him
• Of course, he has a very high IQ
• My child would never xxxxxxxxxxx
• We don't discipline at home - it is bad for their spirit

Trips, of course how could that one have drifted past...

Confiscating jewellery
Confiscating mobiles
Confiscating porn
Confiscating valuables
Adhering to uniform policy
Adhering to homework policy
Adering to toilet policy

How very dare we?! We are just soooooo injflexible!

Don't forget those who can do, and those who can't teach .

Disruptive class=crap teacher

inflexible even

Challenging bullying when they were just teasing

Or being lectured by a parent who knows what they are talking about

I was once lectured by a plumber that he knew all about my subject More in fact

Disputing marks because my husband/wife/oh knows a a bit about this

Well, it woukd be great if teachers did, but given they don't how about respecting parents knowledge rather than pretending that being a 'professional' means most of what a patent states is ignorance.

SEN is a huge battleground and intensely stressful for both parents and teachers. Instead of being at each others throats, encourages by LAs usually, imagine what coukd be achieved I they worked together?

Why aren't you lot all in the classroom?

happy ex teacher

Every teacher to be doused in a basin of water for daring to finish every day at 3.30 and have loads of holidays.

I think there is a problem with so many people thinking they know all about teaching because hey went to school once.

But also a problem with some teachers who just never ever left school.
