[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a minority of kids who cause a lot of the classroom issues. There is a minority of parents who don't care and won't do anything when it happens. AND there are a minority of teachers who blame parents as a whole for their inability to manage classrooms and behavior, and this includes a subset of teachers who still believe that if they could just hit kids, that would solve the problems (this is a dead giveaway, in teachers and parents, that they have no idea what they are doing).

Most teachers and parents are doing okay. But when we argue about this, there is a tendency to act like ALL parents are terrible or ALL teachers are terrible. It's not the case.[/quote]

I agree with most of what you wrote. Yes, it’s a minority of students causing problems in a classroom. Unfortunately, they take the majority of a teacher’s time. If a teacher has an ineffective administration, then the situation can become unbearable quickly.

I’m also not sure I agree “most” teachers are doing okay. Most I know are looking for exits out of the profession. 2/3rds of my department had quit in the past few years and we can’t get new teachers to stay more than a year.[/quote]
