Subject: DD14 swore at a teacher
I went through this in elementary and middle school and bullying a teacher in my junior year of HS. My parents spanked me and told me it was bad but never made me really understand the effect on the adult. Sometimes kids believe adults don’t have feelings and I sometimes had issues with obedience if it was outside of my household. Deal with it swiftly or you will have an embarrassment and a brat on your hands like I was.

the posters who are blaming the behavior bc she does not have a phone.....I think this shows your insecurity as parents. You know the phone at that age is not healthy but you do it anyway bc you are permissive

This never works.
OP failed way before this incident.
Her kid will have zero remorse even if she apologizes.
OP needs to figure out how her kid got to this point.
DP. I don’t care if my kid feels remorse. Teacher might have deserved it for all I know. But it’s not okay for kid to say it.
Kid doesn’t need to control her feelings; she needs to control her BEHAVIOR.
Teenagers shouldn’t feel remorse over anti social behavior? You are a stupid person.
You can’t read, ma’am.

I’m a high school teacher. I teach 9th and 12th grade. I can think of several horribly behaved 9th graders who were respectful and disciplined by 12th.
There seem to be a lot of posters on this thread who don’t know what a modern high school is like. I’ve been told far worse than STFU. I’ve had students make suggestive comments, I’ve been called crude terms, etc. Many teachers don’t have the support of admin either, so consequences like detention are sometimes out of reach.
This parent is trying, and for that I’m grateful. I’ve talked to plenty of parents who defend the behavior, telling me I somehow deserved it. (When you get called a B for simply asking students to open a textbook, it’s hard to believe that’s true.)
So OP, thank you!
NP. I am also a teacher and this is spot-on.
