Maybe your attornys are different from mine. Of course the only way I can afford an attorney is to use the one that I get through the teachers association allowing me up to 1000$ a year (j/k). I am not talking about emails left or voice mails, these are calls to my home phone number. Maybe I am a wuss, but as a female living alone calls to my home late at night from unfamiliar numbers are scary. I had a parent call and leave 3 messages on my home number (I was visiting a friend in the hopsitial and did not get home til late), when I tried to return them the next morning before school at 7am her exact words where "why didn't you call me last night? now I need to get ready for work instead of talking to you."
Don't get me wrong I love my job and I LOVE my students but I have had some situations that frankly are out of line in the way I have been treated. I may not be a Doctor or rich like some of my kids parents but I deserve respect as a human being. okay off the soapbox, I need to go look for shelves for my classroom.
