Parents, can you feel my frustration?

My children have been attending this charter school in Philadelphia for the past three years. I had minor problem with talking but that's it. Now this year my son is in the third grade and has had three different teachers since August when school started. My daughter is in the sixth grade and this is the time she has had a man as a teacher. I work full time at an EHS center in Philadelphia. My kids are not bad kids when I am pulling my hair out every night. So I don't want my kids to be pinned as the "problem kids" like some of the other kids in the school. My kids are not perfect either but I know my kids. My son's math teacher sent home a communication note which goes into his file once I sign it. I know because I am an infant and toddler teacher. Any how I want to know what my son did in her cl for her top have to instruct him to pay attention. Like I said I know he was probably doing something else but not disrupting to entire clroom at her instruction time. But can anyone feel my frustration? I am very involved in my kids education. I work hard to keep us afloat. But for me to have to go back and forth to get an answer or to be told I need to get my daughter under control is what is really upsetting me. I just need some support that's all. Yes I am defending my kids. I know they are not bad kids they get out of control at times but I can always bring it back down. I don;t beat starve or neglect my kids They are 8 and 11 and they are not latch key kids. My son got A's and B's and and F on his report card. He scores above average in the PSSA so I know he is smart. My daughter needs help at times and she has always had a problem with comprehension. I too as a child had a problem with comprehension but I managed to work it out and get an A plus in my first semester in college. I love my kids and I know how it feel to be labeled with something so false that it messes up your life due to peoples plain ignorance.
