Furthermore, most parents do not want to own up to the reality that their son/daughter not performing is mostly due to them.. Mostly again.Vegas » 11 Apr 2022, 3:57 pm » wrote: ↑ You bet they are.

Yet they own the schools (public) and the school district staff works for them.impartialobserver » 11 Apr 2022, 3:54 pm » wrote: ↑ Parents are wrong/unreasonable more often than folks want to admit.

In that situation, the blame falls on the student first (after all, they are the not showing up) then to the parents. The teacher/school is not the fault.impartialobserver » 11 Apr 2022, 4:02 pm » wrote: ↑ A bit off topic but interested to hear what you say. Suppose that a student is failing and not showing up.

Would you put the blame on the teacher, the parent, or the student.
I’m willing to have teachers be allowed to tell stupid parents to shut the **** up only if parents are allowed to **** up a teacher trying to indoctrinate kids with woke ideology.

The disrespect, I have witnessed, from kids toward their teachers is nauseating. I would say it is unacceptable, but sadly it is acceptable. They can tell off a teacher, get sent to the office, then come right back in 10 minutes later. They disrupt the learning from the whole class. The teacher has to constantly stop instruction to address the behavior of the same **** kids. The parents? yeah, they don't give a ****. It's the teacher's fault, it's the school's fault. The admin will take the parents side almost every single time.
I hope the teachers one day get together and just say **** you all. I would support a massive walkout, nationwide, from the teachers until these behavioral problems are permanently addressed. That means expel their stupid little punk asses, for good. **** them and their parents. Teachers have degrees. Yes, of course there are some **** teachers, ok...and? Every field has their share of **** professionals. Most teachers have their heart in the right place, and they want to help. They don't deserve this ****. I hope these parents get in a head on collision with a petroleum truck going 90 mph.
We had a kid that was falling asleep in every class when I was a kid and the parents always blamed the school district and the teachers for their kid failing.impartialobserver » 11 Apr 2022, 4:02 pm » wrote: ↑ A bit off topic but interested to hear what you say.

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.

I quit hanging out there after that.
The biggest problem I had in helping my kids with homework was my current were not taking notes so I had to learn from the book without aid. And it just pissed me off.impartialobserver » 11 Apr 2022, 5:05 pm » wrote: ↑ Typically it is the parents that are the least intelligent or most detached from their kids that blame the teachers/school. This idea that they the parent have failed demand effort on their part that they are not willing to expend.
