[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I just cannot understand why parents don't step up and knock this garbage out.  Why aren't they stopping their kids from doing this type of stuff?  Enough with the they can't be there everywhere, all the time ... if you can't be there to police (yes, police) and educate your own children on common decency in society then DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN.  Abortion is readily available as is birth control.  Do the world a favor, either parent or do not have kids.[/quote]

OK, b00mer.  :roll: [/quote]

Not a boomer or a teacher. Just an observer of the kids gone wild version 2024. Parents have got to step it up. [/quote]

I didn't think you were a current teacher. Your lack of understanding of kids, parenting, and the Internet clearly puts you beyond working age.[/quote]

DP and a teacher.

I’m in total agreement with PP. Parents need to step up and demand better behavior from their kids.

I’ve been at this a while now. Behaviors are out of control. I used to feel I had partnerships with parents. Now when I call parents, I brace myself for the personal attack. If I’m calling with a student concern, I am often blamed for whatever it is. [/quote]

What did you expect when you kept schools closed for 18 months?[/quote]

My school closed for about a month and then we reopened. I taught in person for the majority of the Covid era, also offering Zoom instruction and office hours for kids who couldn’t come in. Yes, it was twice the work for the same pay. You’re welcome.

And even if I hadn’t, teachers were not the ones who closed schools and pushed virtual instruction. Teachers don’t have that kind of power. So if you (all this time later) still feel the need to gripe about this, at least send your complaints to the people who actually made the decisions. [/quote]
