The problem today is parents are not parenting and are scared to be the bad guy. A lot of parents today expect teachers to parent for them for 7 hrs a day, then when they are home that parent is their friend.



I was not clear. Not blaming the teacher. My wife is a teacher and this is how she says teachers are instructed to handle punishment. It's the way the "book" says to do it. It bleeds into my house. What am getting at is That this is how our kids are being felt with at school when you wonder wtf is going on with your kids head.
