why isn't the boe or school principals going into the rooms and questioning why classwork isn't being hung up? too chicken?
keeping class parents out doesn't mean you don't hear from kids that nothing is hanging
kids are very happy to report what their classrooms are like, they notice the difference but don't understand why
neither do I
Ed's note: Suggestion: could you bring this up at the next board meeting as this is an action we all would like to see.

Last nite at the old beth pta the principle told us that teachers were
ReplyDeleteupset that old beth parents spoke about what's going on with the strike and
it's effects in the classroom, at the board meeting .
I thought that was what the board of ed was for. To represent the parents.
Are the teachers feeling guilty about their behavior? Do the teachers feel that parents
should just shut up, be grateful for their fabulous selves and pay their
taxes blindly?
I am angry that the principle spoke to me that way. I am angry that my kid
is being affected in subtle and not so subtle ways by our teachers
behavior. No parent should be discouraged from speaking at
board of ed meetings, even inadvertently.
Although I did not speak at the BOE meeting, no parent should be made to
feel guilty for questioning what's going on with the schools their taxes are funding or with the education their child is getting.
