Daughter's Middle School teacher just reached out to us and let us know

she was playing computer games in Math class instead of paying attention. I come to you, wise Jounge, to let me know if I should go directly to the school board now or just document these types of issues where the teacher could have easily stopped her from playing games? Obviously his class is not engaging enough to keep the students attention and something should be done about it. I am wondering if I should call the Principal or just bypass him and go straight to the School Board.
Either way, I am starting a list now and will 100% expect to see this teacher punished for these types of incidents. His job is to teach, not to bore the kids into playing computer games.

Some questions......

Is this a school computer/laptop/whatever she was playing games on, or her parent-supplied phone/switch/etc?

Coming from a different angle, ban the math books

And make math class optional! Obviously math is worthless since it’s not holding the student's attention!

First you must call the teacher and scream at them for being a terrible teacher for all the things you mentioned.
Then you call the assistant principal and do the same thing.
After that, you go to the school where you meet with the principal and demand the teacher be fired.
When the principal refuses, you go straight to the superintendent and scream at them about how your child never does anything wrong and it's always somebody else's fault.
THEN you go to the school board and demand that teacher be fired.
Trust me. You are not alone in this.

pull off the "Talk to the manager haircut." To be fair, none of the women with that haircut and pull it off either.
I don't know what you should do.

Well, could she just stay on Tigernet all day instead of the computer games and math. That way she would at least be able to keep up with the team and be able to complain about Dabo not using the portal. This should work out fine unless the teacher is a coot.

1st question. Is said teach's wife hawt?
Apr 30, 2024, 10:02 AM
|
|
If so, go bang her tomorrow am. Teach will be tied up monitoring laptop activity.
THAT WILL SEND HIM A LESSON.
Now, if she's not hawt, suck it up and follow the same instructions.

shouldn't they be watching movies in class by this point? A good movie would keep her off of the games.

reinforcement from home? Like, "FYI, Mr. Greenr I've had to get on to your daughter about playing games in class a number of times recently. Please help reinforce at home that class time is for doing class work only, unless instructed otherwise. Thanks for your help."

Yeah, he did, but this is the first time, I just saw this as a fun opportunity to fuck around on TNET like she is apparently fucking around in class.

but dropping because of laziness
He needed to tell us, she knows it is an issue, she is working on it. This is 100% her fault, she is lazy and easily distracted, she gets that after her father who is lazy and easily distracted by things like the jounge at tiger net dot com.
