Parents who think their child's behavioral issues aren't related to parenting (and lack of consequences/repercussions).

It's probably a combination of things but if that many kids are acting up in school, maybe what is going on at school isn't working and teachers need to rethink their strategies.  [/quote]

Teacher here. Personally, I would LOVE to rethink our strategies. I would love to hold students personally responsible for their actions. I would like to see real consequences for disrespectful behavior (screaming and cursing at teachers, throwing objects in the classroom, lying, cheating, stealing, using drugs at school). School boards, administrators, and some parents will tell me that it’s MY fault if the kids do any of these things. I’m not engaging enough. I’m not friendly enough. I didn’t make my course content accessible enough.

It wasn’t like this when I started teaching over twenty years ago. This era of no accountability is hurting a generation of students.

It’s not just one generation that will be affected. These kids are going to be parents and their kids will be parents. When will kids be raised properly again? And how? They won’t even know what that means.[/quote]
