Ummmm Didn't I Graduate Already?

So during my "lunch break" which is usually my chill time yesterday, I got an email from one of my daughter's teachers.  Apparently there was some sort of a misunderstanding (and I'm trying hard to give the benefit of the doubt) and she didn't explain to my daughter what her critiques on her Google Doc meant.  Now I should clarify a couple of things...

1.  Student/Daughter did not ASK for the paper to be done for her.  She just wanted clarification on what needed to be corrected because she didn't clearly understand what the critique meant. 

2.  I have helped her edit more than once on this document (and others).  I don't mind helping out at home if I know what the critiques mean.

So the email asks me to explain the critiques to my daughter because the teacher "didn't have time" and the Google Docs version was due THAT NIGHT.  Soooo wait a second: I need to explain YOUR critiques and then help her edit the rest of it because YOU didn't have time?  The paid faculty member doesn't have time to do her job....a part of her job that would have likely taken less than five minutes?  Ohhhh no wait.... as a working mom, of COURSE, I have time to do your job.  I mean, it's not like I get home right before dinner, rush to cook and spend time with the kids, help with anything I can, get them showered and then into bed before rushing to bed myself so I can get up at 4:30/5:00.  I mean THAT would be ridiculous.  Surely I have time to cram in there to do YOUR job.

These are the days that I wish that I had the ability to stay at home with my kids and maybe even home school them.  It's not that I don't love their schools on a general level, but I feel like it's not entirely fair that I'm stuck with the parts of the job that the teachers don't "have time for."  To me, that'd be like paying someone to clean your house and them skipping the bathrooms because they forgot. 

I will only say one more thing on this topic: A students should get just as much time available to them as F students, if not more.  Taking five minutes out of your "busy" day to explain something to a usually-independent-and-very-intelligent A student who works their butt off ensures that they keep motivated to maintain that A.

Steps down from soapbox.
