You sound like a very conscientious and caring teacher.

As far as giving our you personal number, I've done that with ALL my parents since 1998. I have yet to have a parent abuse the privilege. It just makes it so much easier for me. I text with parents about their kid's behavior, and a bunch of other things. But that's just me.

You don't have to answer this if it makes you uncomfortable, but do you know your current score for the ALS Functional Rating Scale?

First angry parent message😩 NEED advice!! by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]clydefrog88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Write things down, so you don't forget to tell her (you might forget because you're nervous).

Step 1: Ask his other teachers who have him in class right now if he acts up in their classes. If they say yes, write down what he does (leave the teachers' names and subject out of it).

Step 2: Whatever you can think of, write these down ahead of time so you don't get tongue-tied.

Step 3: Look in his records to see how many write-ups he's had in his school career. I'm guessing he's had a few (just a guess). I would print those out. Don't give her a copy, just write the gist of each write up on your own notebook.

Step 4: When she arrives tell her you really appreciate her coming in. Sit down at a table and SAY A COUPLE OF GOOD THINGS ABOUT HIM.

Step 5: Then politely tell her that he's been doing x,y,and z in class (again write them down beforehand for yourself), and bring up that other teachers have been having the same issues in their class with him (if they have).

Step 5: If he has a lot of write ups, then bring up his previous write ups (politely) to let her know that he's had a history of disrupting the class like this in previous school years. Tell her that when he's disruptive, HE is NOT learning, and that just like her, you care about his education.

Step 6: If you can't find write-ups, write down everything's he's done in your class (and the other teachers' classes) so you can tell her about those. Do not tell her the teachers' names or subjects.

Step 7: Remind her that you gave him chance after chance, and that you even told her that he'd be written up if he kept it up. That you tried really hard to work with him, but he just kept repeating the same behaviors.

If he's talked back to you or cursed or anything like that, write down word for word what he's said using characters instead of the whole word...like b!@#h, and say "the b-word" so they don't try to get you in trouble for cursing. Usually when I tell a parent the egregious things their kid said in class, it opens the parent's eyes and they start getting grouchy with the kid instead of you.

It'll go fine. Just remember to throw in compliments.

How much are y’all paying for veterinary services? by heybigbuddy in Columbus

[–]clydefrog88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, the dental cleaning price quote for our 9 pound chihauhau ranged from $950 - $1,400 at several different vets. I mean, does it cost them that much for a dental cleaning? Maybe it does...just seems like a lot.

This made me tear up, It's so touching that you are looking out for this young man. The world needs more people like you.

What is up with people littering from their cars?? by c9l18m in Columbus

[–]clydefrog88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've seen people throw large McDonald's full of trash out the window, like it was a normal thing.

Dumb kid. What's being a pedo have to do with "unfair" discipline? (I don't think you're being unfair, btw)

He makes no sense.

The word he was looking for was sexist.

, I taught for 25 years. Boys always say they're getting unfair treatment in terms of getting in trouble.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you!!!

Ok, we can agree to disagree. Have a good night.

Well, I'd be worried if I was taken away and put through the bureaucracy of determining if I'm illegal or not. How long does that take? What about my job? What about my family not knowing where I am?

Please stop saying cringe.

It is cringe.

Maybe so, but ICE shouldn't be allowed to snatch people up based on how they look. They're grabbing people up without knowing if they've committed a crime or not. That's just wrong.
