Somedays I encounter parents that seem to be seriously destructive to their own childrens education. I believe that there should be some kind of consistency with how a child is dealt with at home and at school. You can't expect to displine a child in a million different ways and get positive results. Imagine punishing a child for not doing their homework, but not realizing that no one at home is making sure or caring that it gets done. It seems so crazy how teachers in most cases are blamed when a child fails a test or is disruptive and rude. Why don't some parents take responsibilty for how their children perform in school. Like that great old saying " it takes a village to raise a child", so one person should never be held accoutable for how well a child performs. I learned that there are so many reasons why a child may act up in class, not learn as fast as others or have trouble with rules and regulations. Yup, most of that shit starts at home and outside of school. Then guess who has to deal with the bull. The teachers, otherwise known to somepeople as "Babysitter". I love children and my profession, but it is heartbreaking to see some kids walk into the school with the world upon their shoulders. Doesn't leave much space for learning.
