Parents!

One of the sad facts of working with kids is that sometimes the parents are more difficult than the children. Today the vice principal helped me drag a kindergartner out of my room and then I tried to talk to the mom about getting the daughter additional help. We talked about it before and she said that she was going to make a call, but instead she complained to the principal about the exact opposite of what I actually said, which she did again today.

The principal told me that the student will never catch up with her peers. I want her to. I want her to have a normal and healthy life.

Apparently the parents don't want to be bothered, even though this means more work for them long-term.

People. What a bunch of illegitimate children.
