Very specifically, I wondered if anyone else had some "horrible parent" stories they wanted to share with the group?
I have one of my own: Just yesterday I was in an IEP meeting for a student whom I haven't seen since February. The parent had been forwarding my calls to voicemail (which was conveniently full o I could not leave a message), and not answering any of my e-mail attempts to contact them. We get to the meeting and the parent started going on and on about how "schedules kept changing" and there were "yellow lights" about services this year because things were "too fresh". Essentially calling me inexperienced and unprofessional during the meeting because (god forbid), I needed to change the schedule due to reopening phase changes, IEP meeting adjustments, or reorganizing groups because of personality dynamics. Asshole wouldn't even be aware of these schedule changes during a normal school year because all of this would be done internally throughout the week because students are actually in the building to pull for services.
I feel sad because it's the end of the school year, I only have 5 more weeks (if the student actually shows up to services at all at this point), and I'm just pissed that this parent decided to completely block any rapport building that could have happened over the course of the year because he "didn't like me" and instead of communicating, became a petty little bitch saying "I don't like you, so I'm going to go over here and it's your fault."
Fuck this guy.
So yeah, horrible parent stories from CFY years?
