A Teacher's Brutally Honest Letter EVERY PARENT Should Read!
Many people like to slam teachers and say nasty things about them. Let's look at the other side of the coin for a moment.

My daughter is a teacher, and she is also a conservative. She has 2 master degrees (Math and Science), a major and a minor.

The stories she tells about her students are unbelievable!!!

She wants you to read this letter. She did not write it, but feels every parent needs to read it. At last, someone telling it like it is. Parents...discipline your friggen BRATS!

Excerpt:

"Lately, it seems that many parents have adopted a bizarrely lenient attitude toward disciplining children as well as bending over backwards to accommodate their children’s every demand. It’s unclear what’s causing these parents to believe that children should be subject to no limits, no discipline, and no stringent requirements at school. Whatever the cause, these parents are, in fact, doing a terrible disservice to today’s young people and to society as a whole. And, they are leaving their children’s teachers feeling frustrated, ill-supported, and utterly exhausted."

Yep, very true.

I went into teaching and lasted 5 years before throwing in the towel.

Recently a friend's daughter who has just started teaching advised that most of her friends who studied teaching have only lasted a year and left the profession. One girl was shocked to see that kids of 8 were sending Dick Pics!!!!

Too much freedom is like not enough.
It's kinda obvious when you look at this particular situation and it's the same problem with society as a whole.
You guys are overdosing on freedom.

she is a moron because it is clear that LIBERALISM is the cause

And though she is a "conservative" 60% of teachers voted for Clinton so she SHOULD know by now the cause. But most people who claim to be conservatives are actually liberals on the slide.

Don't know about the US, but in the UK if a parent so much as raises their voice to a kid they'll get reported to social services.

Re: A Teacher's Brutally Honest Letter EVERY PARENT Should Read!
80% of the moms in my area work and are inebriated with wine all night long. Just like they are going after the white man, they are not trying to destroy the white family, with work and wine. If you are smart and get your head out of your phone nosing on FrackButt and drinking copious amounts of wine, your family is going to fall apart. Your adult children are going to depend on you to pay their rent or house them and they will be drug addicts.

There is a night and day difference from the kids that have a parent home at least part of the time, whether it be mom or dad, many dads are able to tele-commute now. And please moms, get off the wine. It's just not cute. The babies with the wine-time bibs, with a pic of a bottle and mom's glass of wine is just not cool, it's a sign of some serious psychological coping issues.

Re: A Teacher's Brutally Honest Letter EVERY PARENT Should Read!
My kid got in some mild trouble at school and when we spoke to the teacher, we expressed that we were fine with any punishment the staff thought was acceptable and my kid was punished for several weeks at home.

The staff was flabbergasted with our support of their decision and even more taken aback by our home-punishment.

It's definitely a thing.

My wife and I have spoken about this in the past, and our generation feels like they need to be constantly "making memories" for their children. Excessive vacationing to higher and higher end locations, (what little kid needs to go to Bora Bora every fucking Summer?) and a need to constantly build and maintain the illusion of a perfect home life, (mostly due to social media).

In addition, a lot of parents feel guilty for having to work 2 full time jobs to support their lifestyles, so they in turn, baby and coddle their children as a way to make up for their absence.

Just our little theories.

Did you not understand my reply? When a parent makes excuses for their child's poor behavior, they are doing the child a disservice, and teaching the child to believe rules do not apply to themselves.

Many parallels to a certain group of people who lost in 2016.
