[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that is never the teachers fault. So many good teachers around.[/quote]

I don't think anyone is saying that.  The teacher has to have good classroom management and communicate promptly with parents when there are issues, and escalate to admin if things don't improve.  Admin has to back up the teacher's efforts and be willing to step in if escalation is needed.  And parents need to not immediately blame other kids or the teacher when they hear that their kid is misbehaving or playing a role in some misbehavior, and there needs to be conversations and consequences at home for it in addition to at school.  It has to be a team effort- it's the only way it works.

The best parents can't totally negate the influence of a classroom that's not well-managed by the teacher, or classmates who are poorly parented.  
The best teachers can't fix behavior when either admin won't back them up, the kid learns that their parents think it's everyone else's fault and they are perfect, or both.  Everyone plays a role.
