The parent is complaining now, saying her daughter failed because the class was too noisy. She forgets that her daughter had a major part in creating that environment. She doesn't want to think about all the days her daughter did not show up. She doesn't want to know about all the assignments her daughter did not hand in. I understand the mom's support of her daughter, but what I don't get is why she didn't open her mouth earlier, why didn't she say something in October when something could have been done to help this girl succeed? And, more importantly, what will she do to insure her daughter does the right thing so she will be able to succeed in the future? Blaming the teacher will do nothing to help this child.

No, but it's easier than actually doing something.
It's amazing when they come out of the woodwork like roaches. Where was she during PTC or after the many report card grades???
