Rant re:school
I hate my kids teachers who seem to assign homework for ME to do. I can appreciate wanting to involve the parents in the educational process, but look here, bitch- it's their homework. If you would like me to verify that they have done it and sign something, great. I can do that. But I don't particularly like making shit loads of little baggies of coffee grounds, raisins and lemon drops to provide your class with supplies for your 5 senses exploration. What the fuck is wrong with your legs? We already supply the kids of the lazy cheap fucks who don't bring school supplies with "extras for everyone"- including pencils, paper, crayons, folder, glue, scissors- get the point? You can't trot on down to the commissary with $20, and make up 18 paper bags full of popcorn and jelly beans? Especially after I, and other parents dropped fifty dollars (or more) each in August to load the class up on those little necessities of education?
Also, if you would like my child to take a survey of 10 people- with three choices, and do it this way, and blah blah blah, please make sure to send directions that are clear with my child. If not, stop vagueing things up on the half a sentence bullshit sheet excuse for assignments you send home once a week. You are the teacher, I am the parent. I am pretty sure there is some over lap there- but lets not blur the line too far, m'kay? It is not my job to decipher what the fuck you want from archaic directions, have to check and double check her work- making my child feel incompetent- then have you send it back home asking it be redone.
Please do not send back a homework paper where you asked them to write down months of the year, and days of the week, and turn around and tell her to re-do it... simply for the fact that she used both sides of the paper, one for days, one for months. Creamed Christ on Toast! What kind of a teacher does that? Is it too much trouble to ask you to flip over a paper from a 7 year old second grader? The bitch even told her she couldn't bring her binder to school- as she didn't like having to open it to find her folder and get her homework. What the mother fuck? God forbid she has a way to keep her papers from getting crumpled with the daily abuse of her backpack.
She also sent something home after telling them to write something down, saying she needed to use a dictionary or computer. Again with the "do-over"- this ain't a term paper- it's a little kid doing her absolute best. Fuck, lady, if all you want her to do is copy information from a dictionary, or google, we can do that. As it was my understanding that little guys are SUPPOSED to phonetically spell in order to better understand word and sound structure... I am obviously mistaken. Thanks for straightening me out on that, douche, and making sure to brighten my afternoon with her heartbreak- when she wonders why she isn't smart or good enough, because she tried so hard and thought she was doing it right. The vague "directions for decoding" for assignments always make "The Joy of Crying" sessions a real treat.
Yes, I am in a snit, and it took me some time to find a groove to write on. I could have gone on and on about a myriad of this weeks bullshit- but for now, I had best retire... No need working myself in a tizzy yet... unless she assigns some other horse shit for the weekend. (And who in the holy hell sends homework on a Friday for a second grader?!)
*End Rant*

The Bitch needs a Good ASS beating, I mean the Teacher and not my beautiful Grand Daughter. Tell Rachel I'm proud of her and she's the smartest little girl I know.

God, I can so relate to this!
If it was me, I'd seriously consider a meeting with the headmaster to air some of your concerns. After all, the school year just started, and you surely aren't the only parent that thinks that way.
And, Christ, this is for a SECOND grader???? OMG.

She sounds like an OCD control freak!
My kids NEVER had homework till about 6th grade I think? Junior High?

Parents like you give me a fucking headache. God forbid you actually have to get involved in your child's education. If you don't like what the teacher is doing, FUCKING TELL HER SO. She isn't psychic. She will probably explain her reasoning to you if you actually present yourself with some manners, not as a raving lunatic. Second grade isn't the same as it was when you were there. The pressure from politicians and govt. is insane and your child gets to bear the brunt of it. But for real, talk to the teacher like a human and you might be surprised at the result.

Ummm...I could be wrong...but I'm pretty sure Freud and other parents already passed the 2nd grade. And no offense, I did it fine too without all this crap, and my parents were still involved with my education. It's teachers like the ones described that make having my kids home-taught more and more appealing!
The part that makes me mad, is the poor kid feels inadequate and not smart...that is bullshit! No teacher should ever make a kid feel like that...no matter how sharp they are or not!

I agree with Jayne, you've got to nip this problem in the bud. (or is it butt?)
This teacher is a royal BITCH. Just reading this pissed me the hell off. A good teacher is absolutely priceless, I love them. But a crappy, anal teacher can be the worst thing to happen to a kid. They can totally break the child's spirit.
I'm glad your kids have you & you don't take any shit from that hag!

Is it possible that "JILL" is THE teacher? Or maybe a teacher herself? What are you, some kind of sadistic, cruel woman, that sets cats on fire too? Boy, they always watch each others back, don't they?
School should not be a nightmare or a bad experience for any child...no matter what age they are. Parents can be involved to the point of bankruptcy, and still not get the best results from the teacher or the school. If the parents are all in agreement, I say hang the bitch!! And make damn sure that her teaching methods and homework assignments are approved by the principal and are within reason for the appropriate age group and learning abilities for the children. This is second grade not college. To have homework assignments that the parents are have to decipher because the teacher has no communication skills is ridiculous.
If I have to come over there, being Baby Girl's Gramma, I will make sure that this asshole teacher changes her attitude or changes her profession..maybe she'll be better at flipping burgers in some German clown food joint.
The wrose part in all of this is, that all the childrens education is siffering at the hands of someone who is incompetent as a teacher and has no more business teaching little children than Bozo the Clown. And Grampa Rick agrees.
Baby Girl is a very intelligent and beautiful little girl that deserves everything that life has to offer for a good chance of being a survivor. If this "teacher" and I use the word lightly...is the best the school can provide, then amybe the entire staff needs to have a classes offered to them for continuing education on "HOW I CAN BE A BETTER TEACHER TO 7 YEAR OLDS".
We love Baby Girl and want only the best for her. That's want we all want for our children.

It's Official.
It's not me. She's a fucking retard. Monday we got this weeks cryptic puzzle of homework... and her "project this week is... Ready for this...?
"Do Friday"
Not Due Friday. I am SO writing a letter to this woman tomorrow to ask as tactfully as possible "What the FUCK?!"

It must be nice to be a lazy, uneducated, stay at home, part-time mother. Give me a fucking break you disgusting fat piece of shit. Honestly, you trailerpark trash types fucking disgust me.
In the time it took you to type up this rant you could be doing something constructive like talking to your child's teacher, or, *gasp* spend a little extra time with your child's education. Imagine that: a stay at home mom who does the job she's supposed to be doing - being damn mother.
Obviously you're failing miserably at that and want someone to take it out on. Meanwhile gramps and granny - probably from the other side of the planet - virtually pat you on the back while flipping off someone they never even met (and from the looks of it, you probably have never even met your child's teacher, either.) How sad.
Here's an idea - the consequences of creating life bears financial and parenting responsibilities that all parents have to bear - not just you. I know it may be difficult to understand for an uneducated moron like yourself, but you have to dedicate time to your child's homework, proofread it and make sure it is done right. This is normal - if your child feels incompetent when you check her homework then maybe you aren't checking if the way a good parent should. Teach your child that mistakes are the best way to learn. Obviously, since you don't even check to see if she spelled the days of the week correctly, you aren't doing your fucking job. Every other parent I know looks over their child's homework the night before they have to turn it in - it's what responsible adults do. And I can't fucking believe you're complaining about buying fucking gumdrops for you're child's class - I understand this is a rant but Jesus Christ - What the fuck are you going to do when you're child comes to you asking to help with their college bills? Oh, wait - you were too good for college and so are your kids, right? apparently "dad," "grandma," and a couple others on this forum were also too good for an ed-ji-mik-ashon.
when it comes to your adult responsibilities, I feel sorry for your children, because your are neither responsible, nor, arguably, mentally adult. Hopefully your children don't end up fat and ignorant like you. I really hope the best for them - as for you and your extended family - get a damn education, quit being so lazy, and go out and learn something about the world beyond your fucking couch.
Somehow I know my response will fall on deaf (and dumb?), but it's worth a try for your children's sake. Go ahead and flame me now, but at least say something INTELLIGENT. wait, I'm sorry, 'intelligent' is a big word for you, so let me break it down for you - try to flame me using big words and as few four lettered words as possible. Got that? Or maybe you should go to back to second grade with your daughter - cause obviously her homeworkd is too hard for even you. maybe her teacher could give you a few pointers?
-LMFAO
