Any educators in the house? . . . .

[Garfish]

Lack of parenting and laziness on the students' part makes it all the teachers' fault!!!

They don't pay me to babysit (even though that's what ends up happening). High expectations and forming a sense of responsibility is what I "try" to instill in these kids. Apathy and a lack of accepting responsibility is my challenge everyday. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't the model student, but I knew Mom and dad would whip my *** if I didn't do what I was supposed to do. If I wanted to play ball, my grades better be good.

Most parents I deal w/ usually come around to my view of a situation, but you have many that use their kid's failure as an excuse to bash a teacher or coach. Most teachers and coaches i know of give the student all kinds of chances to make things right, but they still don't take advantage of it. It's the kid's fault!!

I've had to hold back several times not to beat the shidizzle out of a parent who wanted to bash me over there kid not playing or getting a raw deal. No respect for the fact I deal w/ your kid and give him guidance while getting paid a menial salary for a 12 hour day.

That's all!!!
