[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell us about these many situations where you’ve seen teachers and yet you’re not a teacher. Doubt it.

It’s the PARENTS fault. Parenting has shifted massively. They are afraid of making their kids sad so they give them what they want. They allow kids to negotiate everything—bedtime, meals, screen time. I’ve seen kids in stores whine because they want a toy and the parent gets it for them so they don’t have to hear the whining. Nowadays strollers have babies holding phones instead of looking at the world. Parents put on videos instead of reading to their kids. It’s absolutely insane. I was in another country over spring break and didn’t see a single child—baby, toddler, elementary school aged kid, even tween—with a device in their hands. Not one. And over here? It’s common place. No more delayed gratification. No more “you better listen to your teacher,” now it’s “why did the teacher yell at you? I’ll go talk to them.”

It’s really really bad now. [/quote]

I do see teachers that are very good at managing the classroom. And teachers that cannot and react by blaming a few kids for disruption in the classroom. Talked to many teachers and parents at our school and that’s a reality. Moreover the threshold for expelling a kid from our private school is very low. Maybe the experience in other schools is different but that what I have seen.[/quote]
