(8,646 posts)No, what I call it is respect for students. And I get pissed when I see profs making rules for their own convenience forgetting that there are people behind those faces they teach everyday. So far, I've had great profs who get what it's like to be a single mom back in school 20 years after high school, and understand that I need to have contact with my kids' schools. As I mentioned in another post, one time that contact meant me having to go pick up my bleeding daughter from school and take her to the hospital. Another time it meant that my daughter, who missed her bus through no fault of her own, was able, through me and texting, to arrange to have her grandparents pick her up so she wasn't stuck walking in -40 degree weather.
And I have taught. Not kids or teens however. I did teach childbirth classes. Thanks for equating me with Rick Perry. That was a nice touch.
