My son's English teacher just does not get it

You're falling your son. But hey if you wanna screw up his life good for you.

It sounds like you’ve babied your son, and he has no clue how to multitask. There is no reason he can’t do homework. TONS of athletes all over the country manage to do both.

He isn't babied. His other teachers just understand.

It sounds like his other teachers didn't give a damn

No - YOU'RE the one who doesn't get it. I can't believe you wasted everyone's time with your whining.

Lord, you've got to be trolling. If not, you are the WORST kind of parent.

Oh, poor BABY. God forbid he goes to school and actually does schoolwork. He isn't special. He's a student first and athlete second. Nice try.

My son started his junior year last week. He plays football and basketball. Since middle school he hasnt had to do homework during season. Every other teacher gets it. I know I will get bad mouthed for this. During season he gets no lower then an 80% on tests and he also never does homework.

He is a star player. I know he and his team gets special treatment.

Well this years English teacher will not budge. She isn't what you earn in her class is what you get.

On Friday she wanted a paper wriiten about what you wanted to accomplish in your junior year.

My son didnt do it of course. My son called me Friday saying he was getting a 0 unless he hands it in Monday. I emailed the teacher and told her Id be calling a meeting.

Last night I had a meeting with the teacher the principal and my son. She will not budge and the principal said he can't make her. She was a little snobby her last words were to my son was Im sorry your other teachers are failing you but I am.


For him to get a passing grade on this assignment he not only needs to do the first assignment but he also needs to write about what he likes besides sports

We started the paper last night. Instead of doing his work out this moring he needs to write this paper.


She is a very lived teacher. But she is against athletes .

Ok
You’ve got to be trolling us.
This doesn’t happen.
Oh and- she’s a very lived teacher?
Omg, posts get more ridiculous and subnormal all the time in this group

This stuff does happen. Some of the parents at Dads school threw a fit when teachers assigned big assignment on game weeks. Some shitty parents think their kids shouldn't have to do work because they play sports

No school would allow this. No way in heck. ALL schools/teachers/coaches stress academics for athletes. 0/10

Another person who is wrong. Many schools in my area let their athletes skip assignments or allow them to get away with anything just so they can play

Well good. Now if your son breaks a leg and can no longer play football at least he will be able to write.

Hopefully better than his mother...

If this is even true, you are doing your son a diservice. She isn't "against athletes", she is against putting them above all other students. She is doing what is best for your son, who will need to know about more than sports in life. What will he do when he is in college and has to do his homework?
