[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why the F are you blaming teachers!!!! Do you think we want a kid in our class to threaten to kill us? Or a kid who hits, bites, or spits on us? Do you think we want a kid who is destroying the classroom we use our own money to decorate. Do you really believe we want a kid who is making all the other kids in the class suffer? There is NOTHING we can do.

Blame administrators- principals, special Ed. Directors, and board members who no longer allow kids to be suspended or disciplined. Or block kids from going to special Ed placements. Teachers send kids to the office and they are sent right back to our class often with a treat. We are told to “build a relationship” with the kid who is threatening to kill us or cussing us out or attacking us. [/quote]

This is correct, but the cracks in the system don't stop at the administrators. There USED to be administration with backbones that would straighten the kids out before they came back into the classroom (with in-school suspension, detention, suspension, etc.) when there were parents that supported them in disciplining and enlisting consequences for their own child's bad behavior, but in the last decade there have been tons of PARENTS who complained about their unruly children being kicked out of classes, fighting tooth and nail for 504s and IEPs when the kid didn't need them just so that their bad behavior can be excused and passed along, who complained about needing to contact their child so you can't take their entertainment universe dopamine machine (a.k.a. cellphone) away, parents who don't understand what's so bad about AI and teach their kids to game the system to get an A, and just parents who were willing to sue and get people fired in order to bulldoze and snowplow their spoiled child's way through the school system. Its not a small amount of these parents anymore--the entitlement of these parents, the lack of parenting to be their child's friend, and the distrust of educators and professionals is widespread now.

Administrators' hands are now tied too, they cannot do anything anymore (and they honestly don't have to deal with the brunt of the fight like the teachers do, so they frankly no longer care). Consequences have been replaced with "courageous conversations" and "building relationships" at the urging of ignorant PARENTS. Teachers are simply the public face that everyone can see, so they are attacked, abused, judged, shamed, insulted, underappreciated, and all around treated like crap when parents don't understand that THEY are the bulk of the reason the school systems have changed so much and are failing, not the teachers.

These same parents also praise the teachers who tell them their mediocre child is exceptional (even though they got an easy A from copying and pasting answers from ChatGPT) and complain about the teachers who require them to do classwork with pencil and paper without using Google as a crutch.

In short, its SOCIETY that is the problem, and it is being reflected in the schools. So OP and others should be looking at their neighbors, family and friends if they want to know what the hell is going on with the schools. [/quote]
