They are going to have a parent expectations meeting next fall to outline new policies. We know parents are outright lying about being gone. We are a Catholic school. You rea paying good money to lie about being gone for a week and expecting the teacher to do more work so your kid can be gone.

There needs to be a major shift in education on so many levels.

I never do any school related work once I walk through the door (never means I can count on 1 hand the number of times I take something home every school year).

I can't even log in to my school e-mailS (yes it's annoying) on my personal devices and vice versa. Separation of work and home has served me well.

As for parent expectations, yep, parenting is shit for the most part. They'd rather their kid be their buddy than be the bad guy and teach them accountability.
