I don't understand how people feel they are entitled to disrespect others. Parents who send nasty notes to teachers who are trying to help their children amaze me. I know not all teachers are doing their job or even a good job but many are. And to disrespect them or be rude, nasty or just plain mean to them is beyond me. Have you ever sent a note to the teacher of your child that was in hindsight not so nice? Why? What was the circumstance and how did you feel afterward?

Some people have no idea how hard being a teacher is. I have never sent a nasty letter but if I have had a problem with a teacher I have made an appt to see them and discussed my issues with them personally.

I think it is immature and a very bad example to you child to be rude to a teacher or any other person. That does not justify your anger or concern. Opening a dialogue and attempting to address an issue is an appropriate way to deal with a situation. I never insulted or was rude to a teacher, if I have an issue I address that issue face to face so that it can be resolved. And to be honest that just sets up your child to possible abuse from that teacher, the anger that the teacher has can be directed towards the child and I would not want to set my child up like that.

I would never be disrespectful to a teacher as long as they did right by my Grandchildren. I do have a problem with teachers not doing their job correctly and think that the parents should pick up their slack.

it is mostly because those parents are convinced that their children are angels and anyone who tells them otherwise is an incompetent demon.
YOU are going to tell ME something about MY CHILD?! type of disbelief. the defensive mechanism jumps up and the parents will believe little wrong of their offspring. (also agreeing with you, some teachers are not good at all...but some parents assume all teachers are horrible and don't give the good ones the benefit of the doubt.)

It must be a really bad problem for the teachers too. I was called to the highschool my son's senior year by his English teacher. She came in the room and sat down, she was very young, couldn't have been out of college for very long. She was very soft spoken and nervous. The senior high counselor told her,"You can tell MS B. your problem with C. she will listen to you." My son was in the room with us, I asked her if she wanted him to leave, she said no, she told me what he had been doing(he was Mr. Big Man on Campus,thought highly of himself and tended to show off for friends) made some smart *** remarks in class, had a couple of the kids laughing at her.His head was hanging by now, I turned around and looked at him and said"Boy, you don't have to learn anything at school, if you're too stupid to get an education that's great but you do have the ability to keep your damn mouth shut in the class room." He apologized, and lost alot of priveleges that were very important to him.
The teacher looked absolutely shocked that I said what I did to him. I really got the impression that she expected me to chew her out. I have never had on rose colored glasses. I love my son, but disrespect for authority is the single biggest problem with young people in society today. They run over their parents and their teachers. They are constantly preached to about their rights. Well, my son turned out great and he had rights and he exercises them now anyway he feels because he is grown and able to pay his way in society. When he lived at my house he had the following rights, he had the right to show respect to his elders and authority figures, he had the right to obey his curfew, he had the right to do his chores and have his homework done and turned in on time. He had priveleges also, which were earned, and if the occasion required lost and earned back. Do I regret the way I raised him? NOT ONE DAMN BIT!!!!
