Am I being a jerk?

Am I being a jerk if I end a parent phone call for saying shit like this?<br><br>Parent: “so he’s in danger of failing am I have a few questions”<br><br>Me: “__% is the grade as of today, our next test is this __ day. Assignments that are due in between have been posted on power point. Your son did recently have __ which is a graded project. I did offer extra credit for __ as well. If he has questions, he can come see me on __ for office hours.”<br><br>Parent: “I see. What is this extra credit I’m hearing. Is your test difficult”<br><br>Me: “Yes. I send all of my tests out a week before to the kids which is something I have never done in the past. I send them out for them to receive immediate feedback. My school recently bought ___. It’s like a website that works like AP grading. I post the questions in there, the kids submit the answers and am I immediately able to see how they did with a score and video that tells them what they got wrong. I also have a video posted on power point so if they want to have me explain it to them in a more personal way they are able to do so. I offer the 3 extra credit opportunities. And, I did offer a summer bridge program for students who got at least a C in the first semester but were in danger of failing the second semester. We worked on a new curriculum that I created in conjunction with the students. Going into the summer, only 3 kids were in danger of failing. One kids grades were so low it didn’t matter what he got, he was already in danger of failing. The other 2 kids showed up to less than half of our bridge sessions. All of the kids who showed up more than 50% of the time ended up passing with a 70 or higher. I also offered the kids an extra credit assignment at the end of the summer so that they could give me a presentation on what they learned. In addition to that, I give a quick tutorial at the start of class on a topic of their choice. At the end of the presentation, I give them a practice problem and the kids are able to ask me questions. That is the process that happens for every single lesson this year. I also have office hours that the kids can come see me and I offer to see them in a small group setting if they would like. I have never had a single parent reach out to me to ask me any questions or to schedule parent teacher conferences. I have been in this school and teaching this class for 5 years. What this means is that I have taught your son, his older siblings, or his cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. My tests are not hard. I do not give busy work. I have a video for every single lesson I teach. I also have a video for every single concept. I give a ton of extra credit. I sometimes give them extra credit for simply showing up to class. I have the kids do a lot of group work because I have found that it increases learning. I don’t do a lot of direct instruction. What this means is that the kids are sitting in their seats for long periods of time. They are working together in groups for most of the class. Once the group is done, they have free time to work on other things. I also offer extra help before school, during lunch, and after school. I am available by email and I have an open door policy. I also have a very strict late and phone policy because I see a huge difference in the students who follow these policies and the students who do not. The students who consistently show up on time and do not use their phone are overwhelmingly my higher achieving students. You can send your son to summer school or you can put him in credit recovery. I will also be offering the same bridge program next year for students. My bridge program is not your standard bridge program. Most of them are in person and offer very little training. My bridge program is virtual so the kids can do it whenever they want. We also have a new curriculum that I specifically created for the bridge. I have been a content leader for 2 years now. I also worked with the kids to create the curriculum. I am very proud to say that all of the kids who showed up more than 50% of the time ended up passing with at least a C.”<br><br>Parent: “wow. You sure seem defensive”
