Kudos to you for being active and responsible. I hate that you are both going through this. His teacher seems insensitive, mother or not. I hear stories similar to this at work. A lot of parents use email to communicate with the teachers and the teachers seem to just ignore them. What’s the point of having an email for parents if you’re not going to check it or respond? I’m glad I don’t have kids, I’d have to remind some of these cocky, young teachers what it’s like to be paddled! I live in FL where young female teachers have no qualms about having sex with their students or throwing keg parties, etc. Some more than TWICE! One just got 5 years probation yesterday for having sex with a 15 year old! Amazing! Good luck with Dirt Bike Boy…something else may be bothering him that is not a bladder problem. I’d discuss it with him and maybe a doctor if it doesn’t stop soon.

I’m glad to hear you’re the same. Alpha boy tells his friends that his dad will look out for him.. and I try. It’s a tough battle sometimes.

my belief is, if we do not speak for our children and demand respect for them, who will, not that teacher.

my children know what ever is going on I will be there for them, sometimes even when my child is in the wrong and they have been, they know I would help them through the problem and they are not alone.

reading this about your son makes me sad, thank you for being there for him.
that is what a dad/mom should do.

No…. Dallas ISD is EXACTLY the same way…I’ve had to ACT A FOOL at each and every school that my children go to before they know and have a complete understanding of what I expect…
Even though I work and I’m not at every PTA meeting, I’m still VERY involved in my children’s education…
The FIRST instance was when I was enrolling my kids in school here in Dallas and I would have to wait for the enrollment administrator so my girls asked if I could eat breakfast with them…OK sure why not? Well, I was escorted out of the cafeteria by hand (like a child mind you) and admonished by the Vice Principal…who then told me it was against policy and parents were not welcome in the school…I explained that I had already signed in and was waiting for the administrator and decided to eat breakfast at my children’s request…then he WENT OFF…I was sooo angry I would have actually fought him!!! I said who is the superintendant and aren’t we the tax payers who pay for this school???…I couldn’t believe what I was hearing!! The Principal came and appologized to me and told me that it would be dealt with accordingly…I was then able to eat breakfast with my children and handle the business…needless to say, the Vice Principal was very cordial with me from then on…
When they moved to another school I had the same problem…until I stood by what I believed was right and then they learned that I mean what I say and will take action if I don’t see results…
The Principals of the schools that my children attend now are very accommodating to me now, and are genuinely glad to see me when I do visit. The one at my younger children’s school I’ve been dealing with over several years and he knows our family situation and even went as far to say that if I have any problems with ANY other school in DISD to let him know and he would have it resolved.
But there is a problem with our generation in that things have changed so much now…and educators send mixed messages now days…I think there are still alot of parents that still are very involved in their children’s education…it’s sad that we have to go thru a bunch of mess in the process…I think part of it is because the education system is a mess…all the fraud and all going on…they feel that if you aren’t involved they can do anything with our children’s money… because we aren’t there to see what’s happening…

Eathan I just got up on my soapbox for this one…LOL…but be the squeaky wheel…eventually you’ll see some action…

I agree.. There’s no way you can not notice. I was even surprised to see that on the school website, she’s pictured with her children.. So I know she is a mother.

I remember the days when the other schools were very open for parents.

I hope this issue is resolved.
