If he’s acting up in school, go sit in his classroom
We were petrified if the teacher said, “I’m going to call your mother!”
In those days it was a big deal if your behavior warranted a teacher threatening to call your Mom. That was before the oligarchy was able to put into law the school could no longer render corporal punishment and you could be arrested if you spanked your child. Your hands were tied!
However, there is not a law to date saying you, as a parent, can not go into the classroom and read a book for one day or several. There is no law that says you can not go into your son’s classroom and not let the teacher feel threatened in any way due to the fact you are reading your book. There is no law that says you cannot smile appropriately and not disturb the learning and teaching environment the teacher has created for the class. There is no law saying upon leaving the classroom you cannot say something positive to the teacher.
There is not a law saying you have to stay in the classroom not going to the library or cafeteria when you think the teacher is loosing the class. This often happens with new and inexperienced teacher close to the ending of the class and you should leave the classroom due to the fact witnessing those dynamics unfold are not the reason for your visit. Your focus is on your son’s behavior and not that of the teacher to which there are evaluating instruments to which you are not privied. If the class is in chaos upon your arrival, don’t go in. You will not be able to continue your reading. The students will only get worse telling you, metaphorically, something is wrong with that class. If you want to waste your time bitching about a teacher, good luck! The man said, “The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars.”
There is no law saying you can not observe your son between change of class or with whom he inter-acts.
Finally, afterwords there is no law saying you cannot discuss with your son what you observed during your visit to the classroom in the privacy of your home and, if necessary, making an appointment to speak with his counselor or principal.
There is no law saying your son or grandson will not get your message loud and clear!
And finally, finally, there is no law saying after you asses the situation rolling up your sleeves, turning off his cell phone for a week or two and getting the number changed saying, “We’ve got a lot of work to do, Son!” Wishing luck to myself,
As always,
