[senco-forum] Parents who make allegations....

Hello June

  But it is not prejudice against parents - just an acknowledgement that there are times when some parents are wrong about what is happening in school.  Equally, I would acknowledge that there are times when some schools are wrong.
  I could not possibly claim that every member of staff in my school gets it 100% right with every single child every single day.  What I want is a professional approach to pupils and a professional response.  And, as a very experienced professional, I can say that I have occasionally met parents whose response to what is happening in school does not reflect what is actually going on.  This was for a number of reasons.  Surely it is not prejudice on my part to say that I have tried to work with parents whose account of what is happening in school is not what I have said, seen or had reported to me?

Why do you find my objection to blatant and horrible prejudice offensive? Yes, there are some absolutely shocking people in the world, but a professional should rise above their personal feelings and get on with their job. Sheridan's comments about step parents are not helpful and add nothing to the request for advice.
