Why? If the parents don't know what the code words are, why does it matter?

Because you want to blow off steam and not deal with some roid-raging asshat going on and on about how perfect and precious their two-pump-chump accident is in response.  You can avoid lying - lying is often a firing offense in many workplaces - and avoid being fired because some spoiled asshats dealership-owning daddy didn't like hearing the truth.

To be honest, I am a bit concerned with your son's leadership, beat of his own drum, beat of his classmates' drums, and beating his classmates like a drum. Did you really tell him that "The first rule of kinder-club, is we don't talk about kinder-club?"

One social media post and now every teacher everywhere does the stupidest thing ever.

What ever. I think teachers form fixations on students then blame the student for disruption.
This is no different than thinking jails being mostly minorities is proof they crime more. They don't.   Being suspected more often isn't proof of being more likely to crime. It's a farking self-fulfilling  Prophecy.
The moment I wasn't the teachers focus, I magically was no long in trouble and was in Honors History.  And eventually in ROTC. I didn't change.  It was that I was finely being taught be different people.
Seriously. I like to take credit.  Hell I'd like to also give credit to the teachers.  Nope. It was simply that I was being watched by people that didn't already have bias towards me.

The public education system does not exist to raise your children for you or protect them from ideas you don't like. They are not there to soothe your feelings or to make you feel like a good parent.

Despite our best wishes for what it could be, the public school system exists because it is in society's interests to provide enough education to an individual that they will not be a burden to that society.

I think parents have too much power in the public education system, not too little. No, you don't have the right to control the curriculum for all children because you're too dumb to understand 'common core math'. No, you can't get a teacher fired because they flunked your little moron for doing no work all year.

If you don't like the system offered to you by the resources gathered by the rest of us, then you are free to send your child to private school or home school them yourself.

I'm somewhat on the fence about public school boards as well.

Some schools require teachers to produce a written report on each student (usually elementary school), so they use benign words that won't anger the parents, but other teachers (who will have some of those students in the future) will know what the report really says.

If the administration is not going to side with the teachers they need a way to say what they want to without rocking the boat. Everyone is happy parents think their angel is still perfect, teacher gets to passive aggressively vent, and the administration gets to not be bothered.

The only thing it hurts is the child's education, but that is so far down on the adults priorities its not worth mentioning.

I just think it's a good sign when you are at teacher conference and your daughter's teacher from the last year walks by, says hia to the teacher, and then says "oh, you have Suzie? She's awesome!".

Ragin' Asian: it was only 30 years ago when I was in elementary and high school when, no matter what happened, shiat was always my fault. I learned how to make sure to always have an airtight alibi. shiat was still my fault.


One time in the middle of class, 8th grade, one student attacked another student.  No weapons on anything (this WAS the early 80s) but as the students were cleared out of the room, the teacher, Sr. Leo literally grabbed me by the back of my shirt and said "Don't go anywhere, I know YOU had something to do with this!"

I was not a good student academically and talked a little too much in class, but I never did ANYTHING wrong or got in any REAL trouble.
And comments like this from teachers happened from 1st through 12th grade making me ALWAYS feel like I was bad person.

Thank you, Catholic School!

As the daughter and sister of teachers, I can safely say this is 110% bullshiat.

Teachers use words like "talks too much in class" and "needs to work on sitting still" when they mean "talks too much in class" and "needs to work on sitting still." It's the PARENTS who say shiat like "well, maybe he just wants to discuss things more in depth!" and "maybe she just has extra energy and she'd be a great athlete!"

Only child. I didn't become act out until I was a teenager. Everyone other parent thought I was a model kid. Not mine. Eventually, I figured if I was going to get blamed anyway, I may as well earn the blame.

Wife teaches at a school that has a significant population of kids with special needs. The kids who cant handle regular elementary school get shipped to hers, and they sprinkle them into the general ed classes sometimes if they can handle it.

Whenever one takes off and tries to get outside and runaway it's call a Code Nike.  They announce it over the loudspeakers.
