The Most Ridiculous Parent Requests: Part 12

[heather]

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!

Dear Charge-her-phone Mom: Let's ASSUME that you sent baby girl TO school with a fully charged phone. IF it came home uncharged MAYBE it's because baby girl was texting instead of paying attention in class. Just sayin'.

There needs to be a show where parents go undercover as subs for a week at their child’s school just to see what teachers really go through.

When kids ask if they could pay for a grade, I always say it has to be enough for me to live on if I get fired.

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.

The problem with this is that some principals would make teachers comply to these bonkers parent request.

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.

If the child stayed off the phone, it wouldn't run out of charge.

"Ridiculous Parent Requests" has always been my favorite segment.

My school in Queensland, Australia, has a very clear stipulation in our "Responsible Use of Technology" policy that states, extremely clearly, STUDENTS MAY NOT CHARGE THEIR PHONES USING SCHOOL POWER

Teachers are heroes. Thank you for your service. I don’t know how y’all get through the day.

Whispered: "Do you hear how crazy you sound?" That cracked me up!!!

I was waiting my turn to talk to the teacher last year and heard the teacher mention to another mother that the boy's "hinky" haircut was causing him anxiety and the teacher agreed with the boy that it's not appealing. 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.

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.

When you meet the parent, you understand the kids!
