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]

True. I don't see how teachers fail to understand normal child development and respond in appropriate ways.  Their suggestion was for me to hit my kid.  Not going to happen.  Let me tell you the end of this story.  I moved her to a nicer school that focuses on child development and emotional control. Never heard anything but compliments after that.  By 5 this child was a sweet role model student.  Now she's in HS.  Had those teachers realized some 3 yo have a hard time with transitions  and modeled classroom behaviors to account for this then there would be no problems.  I'm so glad I thought they were all nuts telling me to spank my kid. The research shows you lower their IQ, EQ, and confidence, while increasing violent tendencies and anger.  I'm sure some of those parents probably took the bad advice.  I'm sorry for those kids, they need a gentle hand of guidance, not a firm hand of punishment.[/quote]
