A little upset

[Paycheck]

My wife is a teacher, and the teachers union does not do a dang thing to help teachers. My son is 22 now so its been a while since he was that young. I ask my wife if this happened to our son and she said yes!!! I should have payed more attention.

I don't think you should send the letter with your daughter. I think you or your wife should be delivering it in person.

To School Board thats BS

[RJH1]

Hahaha, public schools. Screw that

[Fishndude]

So a kid brings home a crappy folder and it obviously means our world is coming to an end?

Go hunting, people!!

Social media has you by the balls.

[huntindude]

I would start with the principal vs the teacher. That may be a policy that the teacher had no control over.

Sweet, if you have a nicer truck than me i will come trade you, even of course, and without your consent. And then we can go hunting together, on your lease. IDK what the big deal is, socialism sounds better every time i think about it

Last year my twins were in kinder and I was aware of what to expect. We bought all the supplies needed and gave them to the teacher. After the year was over the teacher sent back everything that was not used. My kids loved this teacher so the next day I took all the leftovers back to her and told she could keep them for next year

OH now we figured out were all the left over crap is coming from.[emoji23]

Both balls! Lol!

Pretty sure you’ve missed my point but ramble on.

We’ve been blessed enough to send my kids to private schools and not socialism isd. Honestly we’ve created this, the people still have all the power, but we don’t organize to do anything about it.

[WItoTX]

What exactly does the teachers union do for the teachers????

Protect teachers from ****ty parents. My step mom retired a few years ago, but more than a few parents tried to sue her for what amounts to making their kids feel bad for their own actions in the classroom.

Then when the parents came in to complain to her about how she made their kids feel bad, she told them they were doing a bad job of being parents (She put it much more eloquently). She was sued shortly after that. Teachers union managed all of it, and she didn't have to come out of pocket a dime, and the ****ty parents didn't get a dime.

This

I would be up there in the morning and they would know when I left that I was serious. Do not put this on your daughter !

Yep this right here

[RiverRat1]

No. You are in the right. Yes some kids have POS parents that would rather spend money on cigs, beer and drugs , but you and your wife worked hard to be able to supply your daughter with the material she has.

FIFY

Another thing that bothers me. They push the free lunch program so hard. This year when we walked in during meet the teacher night, first thing in the door they attempted to force everyone to go to the library computers and apply for free lunches. Everyone was happily going in to get free meals. I walked past it and they tried to stop me and "force" us in. I told em Im not doing it and kept walking. Guess nobody has any pride anymore. So much for American self sufficiency. We are doomed.

Yep. And does ANYONE really believe that in today's society.economy parents can't afford to feed their kids? They choose to spend the money elsewhere. Sure I'm sure a TBH resident liberal can find an example but lets all agree that 99% could afford it.

BTW - They push it because it's ALL about the money

The following is coming from the teacher sitting next to me.

Most folders are color coded. All take home folders are a specific color, red, blue, vanilla....when kids show up the first day with folders that are not the required folders the teacher usually supplies them. They don’t come from the school, the teacher has purchased them. I promise the teacher does not want another princess folder. The school should have supplied a list of required supplies for the school year before school started.

After 18yrs of my wife teaching I have funded probably $1000’s of dollars worth of school supplies for kids I’ve never met.

18 years...I promise you are over 10k by now. My wife teaches first grade. After year 3 I made her write down every penny she spent. I simply wanted to prove that it adds up to at lot more than +/- $300 she claimed... After just a couple months she just admitted it and stopped adding it up LOL

It's 100% Bullsh@# when the school knows any teacher with decency will be forced to use their own money so they simply don't supply what's needed. Yet as mentioned above there's never a shortage for all kinds of BS and unwated worthless programs.

Ahhh but when the football program needs new everything the parents don’t buy it! Funny how the school finds money for athletics or BS socialist programs for 1% of kids.

[RiverRat1]

It always bothered me too. We never had old stuff passed out, but the supply list was always way more than one kid would need, then they put it all together and pass it out to everyone. Many didnt bring anything at all, while the responsible parents paid for the other kids stuff.

I know some will say all kids deserve supplies etc ( and I agree ) but it teaches the kids the wrong lesson. Work harder and you will be penalized by paying for the others stuff. Dont work and someone else will provide for you.

I could imply lots of things.... But for anyone who's never been through this just go to the 1st day of school and see who just happens to bring in supplies and who did not. I did this once and it's so obvious before the parents mouths even start moving it made me want to punch them in the face.

[RiverRat1]

My son is 2 so I haven’t seen this yet. If I buy it and it goes somewhere else without knowledge beforehand I will flip out. I will supply stuff to any kid that needs it, but don’t steal from my pocket.

They make it clear at LISD that all supplies go in big bins and the teacher divides to the kids... So all kids get equal blah blah

They all have a cell phone but some can't bring in $10 in supplies.


BTW - we have kids that live in 300k+ homes on free/reduced lunches. Figure that one out!
