IMO - Our culture has changed. Less than half of parents read to their children. Less than 1/4 do homework with them. I pay field trip fees for a few kids each year. When we "share snacks" less than half of parents provide a classroom snack. Many if those same parents complain their kids classroom snack isn't (fill in the any description you want) enough. A few years ago I had a parent complain to my boss and the school board that I had her child cleaning the classroom during recess to pay for my pencils they broke when their child was mad at me. As long as we are changing the world, can we get more parents involved in raising their kids? I know many people here want to get on the "every teacher is evil" podium, but there is a tired patriot here who really loves kids and wants the best for them. Please pray for our kids, and pray we invite God back into our schools.
You made a kid clean your classroom to pay for your pencils? That is weird. The kid isn’t your work slave. Are you sure you aren’t the same as your colleagues? Would you have made the kid come over to your house and wash your car? Make your bed? Cook you breakfast?
If he broke his own pencils, the loss of them would be a consequence. How often do you allow people to break your stuff? Is it fair to expect workers to pay for materials from their own pocket, which are destroyed by others?
Well said.
