Assertion: Kids lie, teachers don't, parents are foolish to believe their children in a he said/she said situation.

Response type A: But [i]sometimes[/i] teachers do lie, so a blanket policy of disbelieving children is overly simplistic and would lead to some children being unjustly punished.

Response type B: Children are notorious liars. Parents who believe their lying children exist and make teachers' lives difficult.

Then things truly devolved into:

Teachers Bad/Parents Good: If teachers want parents to give a crap about what they say about our kids, they should try answering my emails. Also, I'll never respect another teacher after the pandemic. Except at my kid's private school, where I can more directly threaten their salary if they don't please me.

Parents Bad/Teachers Good: It is ludicrous for parents to expect anything at all of teachers and how they do their jobs. I laugh at your emails and will never respond to them. Questioning teachers and how they choose to handle your little jerks shows how far we have fallen as a society.

I'm sure everyone has a story behind why they've taken the perspective they have. But if everyone in this system is being made miserable by each other, it's probably the system's fault, not "parents" or "teachers".[/quote]
