don't be this parent, people.

Student wants to have a particular teacher this semester.  It is NOT an elective, specialized class or anything-- just a regular class.  That teacher's class is full and cannot be overloaded per the contract.  When informed of this, the parent (an administrator herself at a school about an hour away!) threatened to sue our district.  I could tell way more stories about this person's insanity and the demands she has made.  Another one is last year, the student did not read the assigned book.  Then the student's class was changed because of the teacher, of course.  The parent tried to make the second teacher give a different final exam to the student because the student hadn't bothred to read the book.

Gross.

I feel sorry for the children.

The only time my parents ever considered changing any of our teachers was when my brother's history teacher in high school constantly ridiculed him in front of the entire class for his christianity. But in the end, my brother chose to stay in the class anyway. For the 4 of us kids, it was always the luck of the draw so I don't plan to pick and choose any of Gideon's teachers.

I wish I could smack people like that. My parents would never act that way.

I think the answer here is obvious...even for the parent trying to sue...TOO BAD SO SAD!

What happened to kids speaking for themselves and taking responsibility for their own actions? These parents are crazy.

<---praying these kids don't come to my university campus (even though parents like these are great gossip fodder for staff). And yes, these kids/parents become well known among offices, even when there are 14,000 students to worry about.

wtf ... Let your kids grow up and be responsible for their actions.  I really don't like it when parents do sh*t like this.

When I was still living in TX some kids shattered the rear window of my car.  They were outside playing catch with a baseball in the street.  We had just arrived at home with the groceries and were carrying them in when we heard the window shatter.  I rushed out just as the kids ran back into one of their homes.  So I went over there to confront the parents and ask them to pay for my effin window.  The parents said there was no way that their kids could have done it because they were inside watching Spongebob for the past hour. WHAT... I just saw them outside 3.7 minutes ago....  It was awesome. Teach your children to be dishonest, good job guys!

The only time my parents ever got pissed about a teacher was when my sister's 5th grade biitch wouldn't let her take a bathroom break in between the designated times and she peed her pants at her desk. That was humiliating for her, and no kid should be made to hold their pee for over an hour til the next teacher appointed bathroom break.
