I need some help guys and gals

  • There is a parent in our school community that is constantly trashing our school in any outlet he can find. This time, he is telling blatant lies about me... and mudrucking our staff in a very unfair way. I mean...our school didn't get an A on our report card by accident. I cannot lash out personally, but maybe you could help me give this guy a hard time. Keep this in mind, he's been fired from multiple schools (once for having porn on his work computer) and has been unemployed for years.

    Here is the story, feel free to make whatever comments you like.

    got it now. My internet is very slow the past several days so it took 20 seconds to load the comments (which I didn't wait on last time). I can't comment in the section b/c I'm not on facebook (I don't have a facebook account). That guy obviously has his agenda and is using the school bus accident to sound off.

  • How far are you from the Air Force Base to your east? I believe it is right on the NM/TX border.

  • Not sure about that one, I'm pretty sure there is one in Albuquerque. The TX border is like 3 hours from me.

    I usually fight these battles by contacting someone I know of influence, such as a board of education superintendent or a local council member or state senator and that usually gets things done so that I don't get my hands dirty. If you need for me to email him some of my epic fail posts I would be glad to help.

    my principal asked us to but a 'gag order' on this, and try to ignore him. I'm still pissed though. There are zero teachers here who 'ignore state standards'

    Clovis, NM - have a sister-in-law and her hubby being stationed there beginning in May. Sounds like it may be best to fly into Lubbock or Amarilllo rather than Alb.

    I didn't know Clovis had a base. That is down in southern NM, way different than the terrain here. Tell your sis in law to bring windbreakers. I hate the wind.

  • My advice as an educator is to let it go. He has to fart in in the wind to cover up his shortcomings. He will go away just as quickly as that fart will dissipate. Being in education means being under fire from the public, but getting up and getting back at it. One irate parent or even 200 wI'll not change the fact that you make a difference in the lives of a profound number of youngsters. Choose to live with that fact and your teaching career will be so much easier.

    You are absolutely right. This is just my first such rodeo like this. This is a pattern for this guy, I shouldn't take the bait.

  • You will experience a lot more of these instances. My advice is to document each dealing with said parent and whatever you do choose words very wisely in emails. You should only talk with this douche on the phone, emails can be killers for teachers of bad parents.

    the only email exchange I had was brief, polite and to the point.

    Wow, what a flat out jerk. His comments were certainly irresponsible. How do you register?
