‘I’m a surgeon, I don't have time for you': Teachers Share Stories About Parents Who Need a Lesson in Parenting

Teachers deserve better pay, more respect than they're given, and honestly, a gold medal per kid that's learning in their class.

One teacher took to r/teachers and shared a story that bothered them, asking fellow educators to share examples of parents being 'too busy' or 'too successful' to pay attention to their kids. The teacher shared that their IEP meeting with a student and his mom was unusual. The mom, a lawyer, seemed oddly distant from both her son and the teacher. Despite multiple emails, she initially questioned their identity and role, which felt strange for someone in her profession. During the meeting, the interaction with the woman's son seemed clinical, almost like a doctor-patient appointment. Though there was affection, it lacked warmth and seemed forced.

The teacher chalked it up to her being rich, busy, and not very warm. Check out the full thread below, and how people replied with their own 'entitled parents' stories. Then check out these overprotective parents who were denied entry to their daughter's home after taking advantage of the spare key they had.
