Do you trust your child's teacher, school, etc?

[Teacher03]

My words exactly!

They are an 'institution'
They are a school with several hundred kids to herd around like cattle.

They are not law enforcement detectives, experienced child psychologist, medical doctors, etc.. etc..

They simply do not have the ability or capacity to protect children in extenuating circumstances!

Too many times have I personally experienced administrators and educators only be interested in covering their own behinds... Way to many times!

Do I trust them... NO.

I'm just wondering......are you a law enforcement detective, experienced child psychologist, and a medical doctor?

I do trust my children's teachers....some more than others. But I don't expect them to be all of the above!

As a teacher, I hope my students' parents trust me! If they don't, I hope they feel welcome enough to come talk to me about it. Just my two cents.

Yes, I trust them and I am also very involved with my kids at each of their schools. I call or email them with my concerns and our school system is very responsive to parents. I don't want to move!

I have 3 kids in public school and I have learned how the system works. I tend to choose my battles when it comes to school problems, some can be ignored and others simply can't. I trust my gut and intuition, I'm rarely wrong when I listen to them.

Well said!!
