My first parent complaint on Facebook

I officially got my first complaint as a teacher on Social Media. I’m thinking about framing it and making a ‘Complaint Department Board'. The parent didn’t say my name, but she mentioned the Grade Level. In my school district we have a strict homework policy. If students don’t turn in their work they receive a homework letter. The homework letter is due with the work and signed for 10% off their grade. If it is not returned then it is a zero for the assignment. We are trying to get them ready for 5th grade because the expectations only get higher. This student didn’t bring back any of her homework or homework letters and has received so many zeros because of it. I messaged her mom and let her know. She also didn’t return most of her make up work and got a zero on it. I’m so tired of parents not holding their children accountable for their actions and blaming them on the teachers. We are trying to prepare them for life and a lot of parents don’t want to accept this. I guess if you want them to live in your basement for the rest of their lives then you’re doing great.
