Fair enough. Most folks online lay the blame solely on the teacher. Teachers are a convenient whipping boy for all of today's ills. Refreshing to hear someone be realistic.ConsRule » 11 Apr 2022, 4:21 pm » wrote: ↑ In that situation, the blame falls on the student first (after all, they are the not showing up) then to the parents.

We are not, by any stretch of the imagination, perfect parents. But we always held our kids accountable...in everything including school. When they were wrong, we stood firmly with the teacher. When the teacher was wrong...and we had an incident where a teacher was violating school and district policy...we held the teacher accountable.
My philosophy of life being about the choices you make and dealing with the consequences of them applies equally to everyone. But if you mess with my kids, I will make damn sure you deal with the consequences. And that applies today despite them being adults with their own families.
BTW...**** with my grandkids and I just might take you out and ask questions later.
