An angry parent uses this classic line on a teacher, “I pay taxes. That means I’m your boss!”
The teacher replies, “You’re my boss? Then boss, where are my promised classroom supplies? Where is my updated curriculum? Where’s my reimbursement for the professional development I paid for myself and did on my own time? Where’s the teacher’s aide I was promised because my class size is above the state maximum? When can I expect my extra pay for all the hours I worked outside of my contracted hours?”
The parent’s response? *Stunned silence*
