Our son was coming home everyday with shocking stories about the way the teacher was treating children in his class. When we eventually asked the teacher about these instances, she told us that our child had a problem with lying and that he was making things up. It is a long story, and we would be more than happy to share it, but we decided to send our son to school with a recorder in his pocket. The things we heard were appalling... we don't think we could do justice by writing about it so we'll just post some clips and let you judge for yourselves. These postings are only a scratch on the surface.

We will be posting more as we make more clips. If you would like to hear entire recordings, please contact us.
My spouse is an elementary teacher - you can thank No Child Left Behind for this fiasco. It's all about numbers now... And, please parents become more involved in your school. The school my wife works at she has to beg for parents to help out.

ReplyDeleteThis is a big problem almost everywhere. I agree that parents need to be more involved. Just going to PTO/PTA meetings and fundraisers is not really doing much for the children. You should communicate directly with the teacher, find out what she/he needs and try to fill as many of those needs as you can. It may be as little as buying the class a couple rolls of tape, or it may be as much as volunteering once or twice a week to read to the children or help with science experiments or the like. Anyway, talk to the teacher, cut out the middle men and get more done directly in your child's classroom.
