Teachers can influence behavior while at school for most. They just don’t want to be bothered often.

No, I see why you might think that, but I cannot undo your parenting. Your influence is the important one.

Neither can parents undo your teaching.

Or, lack of teaching. The teacher just throws the pre-canned Social Studies slides at the students yesterday (67 slides) and tells them to do as many as possible. No teaching, no lecture, no read aloud… That’s teaching folks?

Teachers want to teach. If that’s not happening there is a bigger problem. They can’t fix kids. They can’t fix unrealistic expectations. They can’t do it all. Other people play a role in creating the school environment and child development. Legislatures, school board, administrators, and, yes, even parents all have the more power. The people actually teaching? Unfortunately, not so much. Teachers need to be valued more and given a voice.

They will be valued when they deserve to be.

Thats how teachers feel about parents.

I got that impression too. I pulled my good/well-behaved elementary school kids out for private this year.

Private is not a mecca, but at least my kids are no longer being ignored in the classroom and are being challenged academically. You know, what public school used to be like.

And how many dangerous/ disruptive kids are in their current classes? That’s the difference.

You are an idiot and a huge part of the problem.

Pot meet kettle.

No, I values teachers and do what I can to support them and their classrooms. I work with my kids at home to respectful and prepared to learn.

I would gladly pay more taxes for better staffing/pay. I support removing superfluous requirements.

Teachers should have more of a voice so we can improve education.

Coming from the righteous one who resorted to calling a poster an idiot.

Truth hurts. PP is an idiot.

It’s possible that PP is a political agitator trying to sh1t on teachers to push some Republican propaganda. But my money is on idiot.

My money is on you trying to push some anti-children liberal propaganda.

I’m a parent of MS and HS kids. Keep your politics out of our schools.

Just wondering if you could share a few examples of mind-boggling questions parents have asked? I'm sure you've heard it all in terms of over-the-top parent requests, btw. Sit with my kid and feed lunch to her, etc.

Not the PP, but
- how do I make them go to bed at bedtime?
- how to do their homework when they get home?
- how to get them off their phones, video games, etc?
- what types of chores should I give them?
- how to I teach them manners?
- how do I get them to do something after I’ve asked 3 times?
- how to I get them to eat healthier?

This list goes on and on….

The parenting gurus have dismantled traditional parenting and replaced it with "gentle parenting" and "child-led" parenting. When these don't work, parents wisely ask those with experience, their kid's teacher.

Would it be better to completely eliminate the phones in school?

That won’t make a difference because the parents gave them the phone. It isn’t just phones. Computers and Video Games play into that. You know how many times a parent has asked me how to get their kid off technology?

We got this one last week. How do I stop my kid from bringing in snacks and giving them to her friends?

DP. My kid has been "suspended" from the tablet/laptop a couple times for inappropriate use. If he can go a week in class without a laptop, can he go all the time without a laptop? Please?

This thread is depressing.
Not all parents are awfull.
Not all family are disfunctional.
Not all teachers are perfect.
Not all disruptive kids is intentional. Disability is true exist.

Some poster here are just gaslighting to their radical opinion.

I am here fine, my kids happy at school.
It is not perfect, but have you been out experiencing school in other places / states?

You’re wrong, I had a teacher colleague who did take it out on a child because she had a meeting with a parent who she did not like. Sorry, you are in denial and think this does not happen.
