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]

+1, parents need to be accountable but sometimes teachers scapegoat parents and kids.[/quote]

Parents should be held accountable and should be contacted each and every time and if a kid is misbehaving that much they should be sent home for the day.[/quote]

As a parent of a kid with behavioral issues, I would love to be contacted every time there is an issue. It’s impossible to impose consequences for behavior you don’t know about. Finding out about an incident from last week is not helpful if you want me to change my kid’s behavior.

Fully funding IDEA at the federal level would go so far in helping improve everyone’s experience at school. Having enough slots for kids in special education classrooms and meaningful support for inclusion would free up gen ed teachers to focus on the content. [/quote]

This.

But let's be honest. Teachers do stir things up... I have been in more than one classroom where the teacher hated the sns student who was struggling so much that they did things to make them more anxious and even to set them off. There are plenty of teachers who are mean to kids with sns and do cause their behavior issues. I had this happen to my own child and sat in 2 meetings where the principal laughed about how what they did made my young child so anxious and caused physical reactions. The recording went to school system admin. I can tell so many more stories that it is horrible. [/quote]

There are absolutely bad teachers and administrators out there. That number is going to grow since we are burning through all good teachers. When you give of yourself every day with little support and few resources, it’s only a matter of time before you pack it in and quit.

I’ve sat in IEP meetings where I’ve had to ask parents to refrain from screaming at me. I’ve had parents threaten to take my job. I’ve been mocked, being told that I’m only a teacher because I’m not smart enough to be anything else. (Nice thing to think about the people you entrust your children to, by the way). I now dread these meetings.

The problem with anecdotes is that we all have them. I’m sorry you had that experience with a teacher and an admin. I sincerely am. I’m also sorry I’ve had the experiences I’ve had.[/quote]
