    Sometimes the parents just don’t know because the kids act lije saints at home in a rule structure, but school has low authority to do anything now and students know this. Source, two of my kids entered the teaching profession recently.

        I don’t claim it is all, but kids are incredible manipulators. And then you get the parents that are oppositional to information that doesn’t fit their view of their child. The kids see that parent backs them up, no matter what and so next week is same behavior problems. And the one school administration did not want to report behaviours to parents. I assume it then has to be logged and scored somewhere against a rating.

        But yes it is the parents job, I totally agree. My kids are doing behavior work /parenting work at school which kills teaching lessons

          And this is why teacher shortages will continue… no sane person would sign up for this imho

            Yeah, another extended family member quit teaching after two weeks. The extra time and BS was not worth the money
