We teachers try, but we can’t raise your kids in the 1 hour a day they spend in our classrooms.

God bless ya Woody, teachers are some of the most dedicated people we have in this country,
working under severe stress and lack of respect.
MAKE THE PARENTS ACCOUNTABLE is the only answer as a lot of parents are not doing their job in raising disciplined kids.
After i retired, i substitute taught in the public high schools because i love kids and thought after working 38 years ,in different capacities, i had something to offer.
Kids were out of control in the way they treated each other.
Parents were out of control in backing their kids rather than even trying to get at the reason why they were having a problem with their teachers.
Switched to private high schools where the parents backed the teachers and took an interest in their kids education.
If kids got out of hand, or were disrespectful they were suspended or thrown out.
Very few discipline problems.
Alot of hard work, but you could see the results for your efforts,
instead of babysitting a bunch of punks.
BTW Joe, there are some real good kids out there too.
