*Any anecdotes?

A friend of mine teaches in a "good" school district in PA (which has
produced such notables as Reggie Jackson, Dr. Michael Brown, and the
Netanyahu brothers, not to mention ME ) but she still has problem
parents. In particular, she has been horrified on more than one occasion
to find notes in students' charts that teachers are NOT allowed to call
parents to notify them of students' bad behavior or failure, because
previous such calls have been temporally associated with subsequent
prolonged absence of the student, or subsequent unexplained injury to the
student!!!
