I seldom have more than 4-5 parents show up in my highschool classroom.....they are so interested in what we do......NOT. For the past year of remote learning the parents have had access to our Canvas platfom as do their kids. I haven't seen a parent yet and the one parent I had a conference with as did a couple of other teachers went downhill fast....all our fault of course. Johnny is not doing well in your class.....no he's not. He never turns in his assignments or takes my online tests. Well the computer screen gives him migraines.....ok, but they are not serious enough migraines to keep him from coming to school after the school day to play basketball with the JV team....Well he has migraines and other issues......blah, blah blah, Mrs XYZ, here's what I will do. I will print out two weeks worth of missing assignments and I will give you one of my very few old history textbooks, he can use the book and PLEASE return the book at the end of the semester........She did pick up the book and assignments the next day along with the Math teachers work but I haven't and most likely will never see that textbook again.....Yes posting my lesson plans and resource material is really going to go over well....With all my free time and stuff. And they wonder why so many teachers quit.
