    I taught high school a few years ago and heard one of my students call me a “stupid bit*h” under her breath. I said, “that will be a referral for you!” Her mom called me after school. I was fully prepared for her to say that he daughter never said such a thing. Mom was just calling to tell me that her daughter would be at my service after school each day for however long I needed her. She said, “if you need a toilet cleaned in the teachers lounge, make her do it!” Lol!! Some parents are awesome!

    For the past several years, I have been teaching in an alternative education setting for high school students who are behind in credits and are discipline problems. These kids' parents don't ask the crazy stuff - it was the parents at the middle school where I worked for a few years in a high socioeconomic neighborhood! I was teaching honors 8th grade history and 7th grade history. I had a parent call and ask if I could pass her daughter (who had a ZERO in the class along with a few other classes) so she could play soccer because that was all she liked to do. Didn't I know it since that child had not done one assignment the entire semester?!?! All she did was play with her hair and chat with everyone. Needless to say, that girl did not play soccer that year.

    • @TinaP1234

      I worked at an alternative high school (teacher's side). I did see a couple in my 10 yr stint. Best one, we had a mom who was impossible to reach regarding her son's absence from school which was at 85%. Come near the end of the year, the teacher, myself and the student reach an agreement that if he attends school for 4 weeks with no absences, he can go to the end of the year trip. This trip was fully paid through fundraising and a school board grant. Keep in mind our program was 4 days/ week. This kid comes for 2 weeks straight then boom no where to be seen for a week and half. It is the week before the trip and he comes limping in. He "injured" his foot and he needed the trip form (that his classmates got the day before). My teacher was gone for the day training. Another staff, as she was coming back from the post office on lunch, saw him walking normally down the street until he was on the school grounds, so I knew his story was BS. So I tell him no, I am not giving you the form, you knew what the deal was, and your parent didn't call, you don't have a doctor's note. Next thing the mother, who never returned my or my teacher's call all year is on the phone screaming at me. I say "How lovely to hear your voice not a recording! And I repeat, no call, no doctor's note". She said fine, she will get the doctor to fax a note, just give him the form. I said no note, no form. Wait for an hour, no note. She calls and says the doctor's office is closed, can they just send one Monday. I say funny thing, I called the doctor's office to give them our fax number, they seemed very open. She slams the phone. Several minutes later our principal calls (we were a multi-campus school). I discuss everything and he is aware of the student's 85% absenteeism, he agrees with my decision. Later we find out she called the school board.

    If the parent who asked for the exorcism was SERIOUS, and not just joking with the teacher, I would be very worried about that child. Not because of the alleged satanic possession, but because "my child is demonically possessed" has been used as an excuse for extremely serious child abuse. I mean, like LIFE THREATENING child abuse.

      I recently had a teacher call me bc my oldest bonus kid was being rude and disobedient. She was nearly in tears when I said "how can we help you make sure this doesn't happen again?"
      I'll be damned if *my* kids are the problem.

    I work with Infants and Toddlers and I had a parent bring her daughter in dressed in a new white down jacket in the middle of snow thaw. She asked me not to let her daughter get it dirty. I reminded the mother that it was her responsibility to bring her child in clothing that her child could play in without the fear of messy play, and asked if she had brought and alternative outdoor gear. She said no, but said that she would return with some. I called her twice, and neither time she answered, so her daughter went outside in the white jacket. And by the end of the day, you guessed it! It wasn't white anymore and basically was ruined. The mother demanded that I replace it or reimburse her the $200 she spent on the jacket. I told her I wouldn't, pulled out my policy book and reminded her of the signed document acknowledging her responsibility to provide appropriate outdoor gear, and my lack of liability. She shut up quick after that, and her child never wore anything white to daycare ever again!

    The teacher who addresses us on you tube is hilarious. I agree whole heartedly with her comments. I was fed up with pur public school system, so I decided to home school all three of my sons. One day my son decided that he did not want to get out of bed for school, so I told him to get out of bed or I would drag him out into the dining room in his underwear. He was eleven and copping an attitude, he dared me to do it,so I pulled off the covers and dragged him by the arm into the dining room for schooling. Needless to say he never challenged me again. He had to sit all day in his underwear and do all of his schooling. I am now proud to say my son is 39yrs old,well adjusted, and has a very good job. Moral of this story, never challenge mamma bear because mamma bear always wins. We still to this day talk about it and share a good laugh together.

And that the child is bullied because of the hack job the boy's parents had done to his head. I looked at the boy's head and was like "yeah, I'd like to take offense to the teacher insulting this child's hair but damn, it's a hot mess. He got long spots over bald spots, his hairline and neck have done some parts shaved and some patches of random hair, etc.
    The boy's mother said "well, I can't take him to the barber every time he needs a trim! I did the best I could. You want his hair fixed you take his little ass to the barber then!"
    To my utter surprise, the teacher said "I'll have Saturday free. Would you like me to pick him up at home? What tine is good for you?" Followed by asking the child if he would be willing to go with him to get his hair cut.

    When confronted by the admin the parent's logic was she saw a cars in the parking lot so someone would have let them in. It was the custodian's car, who was busy with the loud floor cleaner, and mine who thankfully went to the classroom first.

      To leave children that young in those circumstances is criminal. When I was in high school I'd get there really early because my dad would drop me off on his way to work. Otherwise, I'd have to walk. But that was HIGH SCHOOL!! The teacher responsible for the school canteen noticed me one day and gave me a job refilling the vending machines. I can still hear the sound of the soda cans rattling through the machine as I dropped them in the chutes.

    I was teaching a kids program at our zoo during spring break one time. When the parents signed them up they knew that the kids would have actively out in THE ZOO learning about the animals/vet center/horticulture/ etc and doing projects assigned by the keepers etc. One day we were with the elephants and they were supposed to make big like paper mache balls that could be filled with treats for enrichment, as well as helping prep some of the food. After the program ended that day Mom came in livid because her 10 year old "got dirty" and they were leaving to go straight from the zoo to a "fancy lunch".....

    2. A parent called me in tears. She wanted me to punish her son because he was making fun of her freckles. He kept saying that she had germs on her face. She tearfully told him that they were freckles not germs. She said she couldn’t get him to stop and she wanted me to do something about it.

Now, mind you, this student missed an entire 3 months of school that was excused by the district and we had to exempt them from all work during that period of time. So, the child was not there and we had no idea when the child would be back when the prom committee chose servers. The child NEVER came to talk to me when they returned to school about being a server, AND I was also held responsible for comments made to the student from other students during passing periods even though the child had not set foot in my classroom once since they returned opting to complete English in the resource room for the rest of the year.

I had a parent knock on my door during freshman move in. She told me that her son was a type 1 diabetic who often had low blood sugar during the night. When his blood sugar is low he will not wake up to alarms or phone calls from her so she wanted me to knock on his door multiple times a night, waking up both him and his roommate to make sure her son’s blood sugar wasn’t too low. If they didn’t answer the door she wanted me to use the master key to enter his room and administer emergency medications that she wanted me to store in the mini fridge in my bedroom! The poor son was so embarrassed and his roommate moved out ASAP, probably because the mother was calling multiple times a night and waking them both up and threatening to call 911 if they didn’t answer the phone.

      Parent is truly taking advantage of the SPED program. At that rate, it would be better to have the child stay at home and expect the child to learn than to waste the resources of the school system. It is obvious that there is no real expectation of the child becoming a real contributing citizen. As a parent and grandparent, who was ADHD before medication was used to make sure a student did their work and learn to try to control their behavior, I suggest that in addition to medication and multiple accommodations, the parents should insist that their child put more effort into learning and behaving. There are behavioral specialists that can work with the family to this end. I understand that we don’t want to use physical punishment on children but there are other ways to get the child to understand that more is required of them. Sometimes stating the situation in a way that leaves no alternatives will get the child to do better. It worked for my son who was diagnosed with ADHD, moderately severe. Making teachers the only person responsible for the child learning doesn’t seem to work and is not fair to the other 25 or more students in the classroom.
