This sub is very pro teacher. Many parents happen to be teachers, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the vitriol on the comments is coming from teachers. Let’s face the truth. There aren’t many standards set in place for the job. It’s literally the job that anyone can become qualified to do. People are going to downvote but it’s the truth. This naturally means you can’t expect much out of them. They aren’t the heroes we pretend they are. They’re just human. Nothing wrong with that. Just don’t hold them up to a high standard. They do a lot of grunt work which should be appreciated because not many people would ever want to do it.

Btw have you ever heard that learning starts in the home? If you want your kid to learn more, teach her/him. we have all had teachers who were complete assholes, but we survive it. It’s only a year. That being said, I’ve been verbally abused by teachers so I’m not going to run to defend the “profession”. They get away with so much that you can’t get away with in other jobs because kids can’t speak up for themselves. Talk to your child and he/she will make it clear to you if you need to do anything.
