I've seen this play out a few times at my children's schools: a certain group of parents are not willing to let their children be yelled at by teachers seeking to hold them to higher standards.

On one hand, adults should try not to scare or humiliate students. On the other, teachers have very little disciplinary recourse, students are more and more disrespectful, and yelling seems to be the only thing they have left.

And then, as people say, there are moronic parents who somehow believe music is less important that sports, and that a coach can have more leeway than an actual academic teacher. Only in anti-intellectual America is this possible!

Do parents really want their band kids screamed at and then not participating in competitions because that's what happens in sports. Most of the roster will never play in a close game, and they still get ridden by the coach at practice. Would you really be happy with your kid showing up and watching the rest of the band? [/quote]
