A teacher hanged up the phone on my friend!!!! What do you think of this?

r u very sure that the line is not disconneted??if yes,then i think that the teacher is being rude.Btw,did the teacher make 2nd attempt to call bck to ur fren??IF no,that means he/she has no professional ehtique.

I think she was rude and also she should of waited when she had the time to talk instead of saying she didn't have time.

first of all if the teacher had a class to take she shouldn't be calling at that time the other thing could be the teacher is right that the line got dropped. now there could be anything, but if the teacher hung up intentionally than this is an insult and your friend should take action against it.

How do you know that it's not true that the line got disconnected and the teacher was unable to call back because of class? I'm sure a teacher wouldn't purposely hang up on a students parent, but try to work something out where they could speak about the child.

Sounds like the teacher has an attitude and needs an adjustment. If she can get her kid out of that class she should, if not then keep close tabs on what the teacher is doing and tell her not to back down from this woman who thinks she can do what she wants. Your friend pays her salary and deserves to be able to speak to her, within reason, and be treated with respect. I personally would tell the teacher to pick a day and time once a month and they can meet to discuss the child's progress. Let this teacher know who's REALLY in charge! The parent!

I have three kids, and I never expect to have a teacher give me a thorough response in a telephone conversation. Your friend would have been better serviced if she asked the teacher for an appointment to come in and "face to face" discuss the progress of her child. You get more done in a face to face then you do during a telephone call anyway. Also, if your friend could request a special education evaluation to be done with her son, and/or request a formal meeting with the teacher and the principal where they can hammer our a plan of action as a team, which can include end of the week written progress notes from the teacher, as well as strategies your friend can implement at home to encourage her child's improvement. I have run into several nasty teachers throughout the course of my childrens education; so, there are definitely some rude ones out there that should never have become teachers. But, I've also seen many more parents that expected teachers to move mountains, and they themselves did nothing to assist in the efforts. Educating your child is a team effort that has to be carried out by the teacher and the parent together working towards the same goals.

The teacher did pick the time to call, and if it were an accident, she did have the number and should have called right back.... I would have been at my daughters school in 2.2 seconds. I correspond with my daughters teacher almost on a daily basis through her agenda, and eat lunch with her often and see her teacher then also... They only get one chance at an education, and I feel it should be just as important to that teacher as it is to me, or they should not be teaching.....

There are two sides to every story. So, I really cannot in honesty make a remark. It sounds rude, unless the phone really did get disconnected. But if that was the case, she should have called the mom back.

Wow that is bad really bad But I have to admit that I have had a couple of rude Teachers when my Kids where at School, I also believe that a lot of Teachers are not in the Job with full commitment anymore but that is just from what I experienced when my Kids where at School but it sounds like it is getting worse

well the teacer feels she know her child a lot better than u do thats why she hung up.

Writing notes and waiting for phone calls sounds like a lazy way of taking care of the issues. Perhaps your friend should take it upon herself to address the problem in person. It must be taken into consideration that teachers are the ones who end up raising the children nowadays. We cannot expect them to extend themselves to such levels. There really is not enough info to go on in regards to the importance of the son's problems. This is not meant to offend.

The scene reveals that the teacher is very unproffesional. Maybe she don't know anything about your son because she is not evaluating the needs of her students. Hanging the phone simply means she don't know what to say. She's a bad teacher.

A truly difficult situation. I will admit everyone has a bad day. However it still does not excuse this behavior. And who isn't underpaid anymore. That statement is hilarius. the teacher should handle her position a lot more responsibly. teaching is a serious position. When you take that psoition you should know what you are getting into. Everyone has an excuse for everything. I say take responsibility for your actions and stop making up stuff just to save our own perspective butts. This teacher needs to take responsibility for her actions and be a bit more responsible.

i reckon itz quite perceivable whether a person has hung up or the line got disconnected. If the line got disconnection, that is quite rude on the teacher's side. The teacher seems not be liking her job. On the other hand, your friend should rather personally meet the teacher during the school hours. cheers!

Well she definetly has chosen the wrong profession.If she is a liar and doesn't have patience how can she then teach your kids.If the principle is not going to do anything about it then take it higher.

well..I know my sister just went threw this last month,,,and her teacher is as much as a jerk as your teacher sounds!And he hung up on her as well..and i can tell u that she went to the school ..and they talked..and he was just as rude and full of nonsense. she also tried discussing this with the principal..so she made an appt with the Heads of the School district..and they are takin action ..so i would just says..dont take her crap and tell your friend not to be bullied by teachers like they do now..and good luck

The teacher shouldn't have called in the morning when she knew she had a class and wouldn't be able to talk. Even if she thought it was going to be a quick phonecall and it turned out to be longer than she expected, she could fix another time to call again which would be convenient to your friend and the teacher. I think your friend did the right thing. I would have done the same thing. Fortunately for me, my son's teachers always call me back and if they are busy, they give me a time when I can call or when they will call me back.

Eww, that is a tricky one. It is really the teachers word against the parents, and I don't think the school will really do anything. I would suggest that the parent discuss it with the teacher on a one-on-one basis, and see where it goes.

Its understandable considering that the teacher had to teach her class. I mean no disrespect but its "A teacher hung the phone up on my friend"

I think that was so rude and unproffessional the teacher to do such a thing, she knew she had to teach class so she shouldnt have called at that time, she should have waited until it was a more convient time to call. That teacher needs to be reported to the school board for being unwilling to help, after all helping students learn is her job right?
