[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not condoning what the teacher did, but teachers (and I am not one) have paid the price for parents not parenting their kids during the pandemic.

I have empathy for the teacher, empathy for the teen, but likely very little for the teen's parents/guardians.

Or maybe you are seeing kids suffering the mental health impacts of the pandemic.  Please stop blaming parents for all ‘bad behavior.’[/quote]

Um, no. It's parents.

As a 6th grade middle school teacher, I see the direct results of lazy parenting each year. ES parents don't make their kids do any homework and are used to being able to strongarm the teachers into good grades. It doesn't work in middle school. I don't give a bunch of homework but when I give it, I expect it to be completed. Even though this is expressed to parents and students in a variety of different ways, after the first midterm grades come out, I always have some students and parents who are dumbfounded at how their kid has a bad grade.

Also, the way kids speak to teachers these days is insane. And why? Because they know there are no consequences.

The pandemic showed the US that 99.9% of parents view teachers as babysitters and nothing more.

This is my last year of teaching and I can't wait to never have to deal with a shitty parent again.  [/quote]
