Things Parents do that Teachers don't like.

This is a sponsored post by a teacher who wants parents to know what they do that teachers don't like,
infact she classified parents into different categories so as you read this and know which category you belong you can work on your relationship with your children's teacher and become better with them. We need to understand that the teachers are there to work with us and not for us, they want the same thing that we want for our kids. So as you read this bear in mind that they are not my words, I'm  just passing a message.

My favorite back to school ritual as a primary school teacher is to make sure everything is ready for the new term, the class is well equipped, the books, the chairs, and all the wall stickers are neatly and well placed. Everything is as it should be. I think about each child, meet up with their previous teachers to know what to expect, how I can impact their lives and how they will impact mine over the coming year. It is that time of the year where  I am almost giddy with anticipation, while I'm thrilled to meet my new students, I'm equally nervous to meet their parents. As teachers we consistently list the students as the best part of teaching and the parents as the worst part of teaching. Now don't get me wrong,most of the vast majority of parents are fantastic but there will always be those ones who will always show up to add drama to our work. So permit me to introduce to you the top 6 parents that teachers secretly hate.
The special  parent: yes we know, your child is special but so is every other child in the class, your child is not so special that they don't have to do their homework, or wear something other than the authorized school uniform, or be punctual or misbehave in school. We are all parents we all have kids so parents have to be grounded enough to accept that the rules apply to all children including their children. These kind of parents are the ones that believe that their children can do no wrong.

The overhead parent: these type of parents are the ones that have problem with something or someone in the class and instead of meeting the teacher, they go to the head teacher or head of school. Conversation between a parent and the teacher should be the first course of action

The Ghost Parent: these are parents whose names are in the roster but you wonder if they really exist, they never pick up their kids from school, (i.e. The driver or the maids pick up the children or the children go with the school bus.) you don't see them on school days or even during  p.t.a meetings. I understand what it is like being a working parent but at least you can reach your child's teacher on phone or during p.t.a meetings which is just once a term.

The Boss Parent: this kind of parent brings the business/superiority sense to the classroom and he/she wants you to know that your place in the hierarchy is below them, they have no problem in letting you know how they or their children should be treated, afterall they are the ones putting food on your table.

The Teacher hater parent: I don't know what happened in the past to make this parent hate teachers but these type of parents believe that teaching is a fallback, they look down on teachers.

The all drama parent:these are the types  of parent  that take a minor incident and blow it out of proportion then repeat as often as necessary until they get their way. Sometimes there is argument and sometimes there is yelling but there is always drama. And it is not over until the school authority is involved and every parent has heard the injustice.

So which of them are you? Or are you one of the good cooperative ones like me ? *wink*
The last one cracked me up...Lol.
