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

This. Every parent conference I have boils down to lack of consequences at home. [/quote]

Wow!

When my kid was in preschool I had a teacher try to convince me that my child needed to be spanked and have more severe consequences at home when she didn’t listen to the teachers during transitions at school.  Difficulty with transitions is totally normal for a 3 year old.  I couldn’t get my kid out of that school fast enough!  My DD is in high school now and is as sweet as can be.  I’ve actually had teachers say “I wish we could clone her”.  Sometimes the teachers and admin just don’t know how to behave with kids, despite that literally being in their job description.[/quote]

You really don’t see how your child wasn’t wrong or didn’t need consequences is the same argument everyone is making here? That’s why teachers are leaving.[/quote]

NP but I see that teachers are SAYING the kids are so awful because the parents need to give more consequences. Sometimes (maybe often?) the teachers are wrong. [/quote]

As a former teacher, I believe you’re right that it’s not just about lack of consequences. Most consequences (punitive) are ineffective anyway. I think a big issue is addiction to tech and social media. Parents do need to do a much better job of monitoring their children and not giving them so much screen time at such a young age. You don’t need a smart phone in elementary or even middle school.[/quote]
