I was one of several teachers in a meeting with the principal and the parent of a "difficult" child. After listening for a bit, the parent said: "It sounds like you don't like my child." One of the teachers looked him straight in the eye and said: "What's to like?" and proceeded to describe the child's disruptive and unruly behavior in detail...We were so proud of that woman

@@poetlover30 Yes, unfortunately these days many/most of the parent-teacher conferences happen without the child present. But yeah, they should be. The teacher could see some of the interaction between the parent and the child too if there are behavioral issues to address. Looks like the parent might be the problem in the 2nd example. More about entitlement than education.

I was a high school teacher from 1997-1999. In my experience, it was the beginning of the trend of parents being hyper-defensive of their kids, even lying to protect them from reasonable consequences. I quit when my administration refused to suspend a student athlete when they threw a desk at me. That next fall, Columbine happened. 100% could have been my school. Never regretted quitting teaching. Am an advocate for teachers even though I never had kids. It was the hardest, most stressful, and most under-compensated job I ever had.

I've also had another one of my kids say the teacher was lying when she literally described behavior I had seen at home, and already corrected him for before. Not all teachers are perfect, but kids aren't perfect either. It's not up to the world to raise our kids, it's up to us parents.

I have been on both sides and neither side is absolute. I've been the parent where the school asked for more parental involvement but when I asked direct questions about certain teachers and situations, I gave complete examples of what happened, there was a problem. I was too involved in my child's education or over protective...I have also been on the teacher side where there was a desperate need for substitute teachers. Grade school was not too bad but of course kids are going to try you. I handled it with love and compassion. By the end of the year, if the kids knew there was going to be a substitute, they asked for me. Highschool on the other hand was a whole different ball game...Let's just say they didn't want me because I knew their games. I always taught with love and conviction but in today's society...there is not enough money to pay me to teach. I didn't want them anymore than they wanted me.

I have two teens. I generally am the ‘90s style mom except for ONE meeting, and it went almost exactly the way the meeting went with the now mom. The only difference is my 6th grade kid (ADHD and mentally gifted) was getting all the 7th grade math work done, and then reading a leisure book until her classmates had finished. The teacher wanted my kid to sit for 15-30 minutes quietly doing nothing. I offered literally a half dozen ideas for how to keep my kid quietly engaged with the subject matter (doing homework, Khan Academy assignments, worksheets, assisting other students, additional work from the textbook, etc.), but the teacher would only accept my kid sitting quietly and still, doing nothing for 15-30 minutes. After trying for 40 minutes to come to some acceptable compromise, I told her that the issue is now entirely her own problem and she is welcome to handle the issue herself going forward. I went to my car, sent an email to the principal and requested that my kid be tested out of the next year’s math class and jump to 9th grade math for her 7th grade year. It was approved.

I was an 80s kid, and all hellfire would rain down upon me if I acted up in class. As a teacher in the 2000s, I dealt with everything covered in this video. One of the many reasons I bailed on the profession.

My mom was an 80 and 90s mom. I remember being appalled when she thanked the teacher for giving me a D one quarter in math (I was a goodie two shoes straight A student until then) because I had started slacking and I needed to learn the repercussions of my behavior. I pulled my act together real quick and ended up with straight A's for the rest of the year. And pretty much the rest of the time I was in school. She was having none of that BS.

I'm a 00s kid and my mom was totally 100% the 90s mom. I learned a lot form her.

And those very same "TODAY" parents got a big a$$ dose of reality when the kids had to do virtual schooling. They saw just what the teachers go through.

As a second grade teacher, I've had to very tactfully tell parents (on several occasions) that I realize their child can do x,y, or z like a third grader (hence their supposed boredom), but when their actions are more like a kindergartner, we have to address that as well. This developmental aspect of a primary aged child is crucial to their future success as a human in society, but parents seemingly don't put much importance on that. In fact, it's probably the MOST important thing a young child needs to learn. Sadly, I don't see things turning around, not with the continual disconnect that technology brings with it. It's great for some things, but not for others. It's brought with it, the inability for children to communicate effectively with their peers OR adults/teachers. They're sat in front of a computer ...in the car, at dinner in a restaurant, at home on a rainy day AND on a sunny day, literally ALL the time. They never have to resolve problems, wait patiently, take their turn....act human, because their best friend is indeed, not human.

When we teach children that excuses work, they will never learn to be accountable for themselves.

I think a lot of the lack of discipline for students being held accountable for their words and actions in a classroom setting started to evolve when medical-psychological studies were conducted on children in/of the 21st Century and produced outcomes that supposedly showed that punishing schoolchildren by making them sit on the bench and taking away their recess altogether was "bad for child development, physically". While kids do need to run around, stretch their legs, and socialize with their peers, at the same time, recess and freedom are both privileges and responsibilities. And if a child is doing something dangerous to- or harassing a peer, then that privilege should be taken away until they learn their lesson! Even student timeouts are now being discouraged during school because (again according to these studies) students supposedly "miss too much learning when they are separated from the class". On the recess front: some schools and teachers sometimes have the "punished children" run laps around the yard or do community service instead of having their actual privileges removed. In my opinion as an educator, that doesn't solve anything. Running laps makes the kid look like a blur on the schoolyard when they are surrounded by all the other kids who are playing with each other. Therefore, the punished child running laps will sneakily head off to play with their peers and then throw a hissy fit when the teacher on yard duty tells them to continue running laps until the bell rings. Also: suspensions now take the form of in-school suspensions only--all because parents have to work and cannot be at home to monitor their punished kids. In-school suspensions don't solve any problems either because all that the "suspended" kids do all day is sit in the office and do the same schoolwork that their peers are doing. They just aren't physically in the classroom at that time. Many schools no longer have students serve detention either, yet no alternative has been invented for that form of discipline. Whether a disciplinary action is old school or not, until the day arrives when all children arrive at school 100% ready to learn, work hard, and be respectful of everybody in their surroundings 24/7, disciplinary actions will need to be enforced 'round the clock on (and off) school grounds. When the adult parties fail to follow through on their ends on those fronts, then the kids win and everything goes straight to hell in a hand basket. And any adult out there who is afraid of children, period, deserves a one-way ticket to their local mental hospital.

Um no strict parenting is not the way to go. We gotta teach kids to grow using models from psychology in order to really engage with kids in the proper manner.

My daughter and I just had a conversation about the differences in school back when I went in the 70’s and 80’s compared to now. I’m a little older mom and can’t understand this behavior in parents. I love these videos. I make my kids watch some of them. They aren’t allowed to be disrespectful to any school staff. Of course, it’s also making them a little outcast with the other kids, but I also had to homeschool for a couple of years (too long of a story for here). So, that didn’t really help. Anyway, I hope we wake up as a country soon and start showing a lot more respect for teachers. We are headed on a dangerous path when we think so little of education.

I'm in high school today but my parents expected me to be on my best behavior when I was in elementary. If I got one call home, or one missing assignment, I would be disciplined no matter how I fought back (not physically, more like time-out). The worst was the spelling practice, but I now understand, it needed to be done, and now I am in more advanced classes not missing a single assignment even though my parents are not as strict on me. I appreciate their parenting style, and it is a shame that other parents don't do that believing that their kid needs to stand up for themselves in that way, quite sad. While I agree they need to on some occasions, missing assignments and classroom behavior are not in that category

I said, “We have been trying to get a hold of you. We have sent you several messages on...” Parent- (cutting me off) “Yeah, well all the messages are kind of a lot. To be honest, I just don’t even pay attention to them anymore.”

Teachers aren’t just throwing the problem onto them, they expect teamwork to correct the behavior. I had parents tell me they have trouble at home and guess what. I refer them to the counselor, I refer them to family services, I call in and check on them, if they are hungry, I feed them.

I have a child that was challenging to his teachers last year. I came in to talk with the teachers as a 90s mom. I’m not making excuses for him. He does need to have a better work ethic. I’m trying to help him work through his authority issues, though the teachers admitted he wasn’t a behavior problem. But the teachers assumed I was going to be a Now mom from the get go, so they were super rude the whole time. They also didn’t tell me there was any problem that at all that year until they were already fed up with him. Even when they could see I was trying to help him and teach him and trying to work with them and communicate, they kept being rude to me with every communication. The only exception was his home room teacher thanking me for going the extra mile on a field trip and helping a lot of kids with a canoeing activity. But she could never once say a single positive thing about my son. He is sweet and kind to others even if he really struggles with his adhd and dyslexia to complete his work. Sometimes parents are trying, but their child is difficult anyway. By the end of the year, we all were incredibly glad to NEVER have to see each other again. Good riddance!! They weren’t able to be kind or even professional to an accommodating, helpful parent when they had one. Having said that, I have a sister who is a dedicated, awesome teacher who deals with a lot of entitled parents. This problem definitely exists. But the parent-teacher relationship problems of today are exacerbated sometimes because the teachers take a combative stance from the start , before they even know the parent, assuming the worst of the parents. “Your child sucks at stuff, and it must be your fault. You must be a crap parent.” Going into a conference with that attitude pretty much assures there will be no successes.

😂😩 This makes me want to laugh and throw frustration punches. It is an absolute shame how educators are treated. And yes, this is completely accurate. SHADE!!!

Maybe introduce sports that aren't so reliant on brute force, like dance or gymnastics, and maybe try to encourage students to help the students that are struggling. The whole idea of physical fitness testing is stupid and outdated. It was literally invented to measure how fit students were to join the military. I'm not saying that PE shouldn't exist, but maybe make it about learning to enjoy being outdoors vs trying to pass another class.

I pray every day for those people who are teachers, protectors, etc. i pray for goodness to prevail!! Teachers shouldn’t have to worry about their safety!!!!! You all shouldn’t have to pay for a dang thing!!! Thank you!!! GOD bless y’all

God bless teachers. They are very underpaid for all they do for their students. And, the money they spend out of pocket for their classrooms to help teach their students. But, knowing many grade school teachers they say it's rewarding. Especially when college age students visit them and tell the teachers the impact/influence they have had in their lives.

True! They deserve more than their jobs offer.

Love ms. Richardson! So excited y’all have her now!

Retired NYC teacher. You are 100% correct! Totally correct and I was the head Dean, with 12 deans working with me. On point!

I’m 74… this is sooooo much like me from the 90’s. However, my son and his wife are exactly like me with their 6 kids! Refreshing for the teachers. And I do pity the grandchildren when they had that one (and only) call to the home from the teacher!
