The schools are my first thing I personally would like to discuss on this site to try to see if anyone believes in my beliefs. I understand that I as a parent have responsibilities to make sure my child gets to school everyday, although as a single parent working it is a struggle. Once we get our child to the schools wouldn't you hope (since the teachers are being paid) that we as parents could think that the teachers would atleast act as if they want to deal with our children. I understand that some children are handfuls as we all were as children. We all tried to push the limits see how far we could go. I feel that the reason why some act up and continue is because teachers gave up. How many real adults out there did something at school, passed notes, chewed gum, talked in class, didn't do your homework,ect. ect....And the teacher dealt with you!!!!! Everyday we all work to make a living sometimes we have good days sometimes we have bad. Does teachers feel that there jobs dont pertain to what was years ago. Dont we all have crappy customers or bosses do we deal with them (YES). If we want to get our check. How is it that now I see that the schools will send my kids to court for the same things our teachers dealt with years ago. What has happened to our world when NOW a child is treated like a crimmal for passing notes in school (and we pay more taxes for it) the same hypocrites(THE TEACHERS) that wont make them write sentences, serve detention before they send them to the principles office.Probly got there share of sentences and detentions too.. Come on teachers where is the since of wanting to work with children and make a change. I thought these kids were our future not future crimmals.
