Lol JFC summers off!
Mom emails me last week about her daughter’s grade. In my class her grade has dropped from an A- first quarter to a C+ second quarter. Right now she has an F because she didn’t turn in a big packet of work.
Mom requests a face to face meeting.
No problem despite the fact that I can tell her exactly why her daughter’s grade is low (not turning in work and not studying for tests...even though she gets a study guide the day before with the exact same questions word for word). And I post daily updates on my website as to what needs to be done in class every day. AND our gradebook is online.
So I communicate that to the mom via email but I tell her that I am absolutely available to meet one-on-one...just name the afternoon.
Mom tells me she will come in yesterday at 3:15. I clear my schedule. I print out her daughter’s grades. I put together the papers her kid is missing. Keep in mind this is time I could be prepping, making copies etc.
I also let the office know to let mom I was waiting for her in my room.
Mom doesn’t show up. No notice. No email etc. I waited until 3:45.
Get an email today (from counselor) that mom has scheduled an official meeting next week.
So that’s another afternoon shot to hell.
