[quote=Anonymous]I teach at a Title One school and I am an ESOL teacher.  I am often told by the classroom teachers that "my" students (meaning ESOL students) are much better behaved than the native speakers.  It is easy to see why many children behave the way they do at school when their parents come into school screaming at their child.  It seems like many of them do not know how (or choose not) to talk to their child.  They just scream at them.  If I had to live like that, my stress levels would be sky high.  I dread parent teacher conferences.  Most of my students' parents don't come in (they usually work 2 jobs or split shifts with their spouses) but just hearing the way parents speak to their children makes me cringe.  My friend teaches at a mostly white upper middle class private school and she has some students who are very poorly behaved and the parents just blame it on anything else but the child.  She is trying to get a job in a public school b/c she is sick of the parents making excuses.[/quote]
