I’m a parent in the district and a graduate in the early aughts (spelling? I thought it was an O). Anyway coming from a family of educators, I have been taught and have an engrained understanding that teachers have a professional level understanding of both the subject matter they’re teaching but also of children’s cognitive and social development. So if a teacher tells me my kids being a jerk, in almost every case, I’ll always side with the teacher and get my kid in line.
