I used to have kids that didn't want to move on to the next grade because they loved school and loved me. Now, I have kids that back talk, speak to me as if they are my equal and parents who think the truth is somewhere between their child's story and mine. No ma'am it's not. The truth is what I have told you. Some want a day's notice before their child is reprimanded because they want a chance to discuss it with their child who has disrupted my class all period. Heaven help the kids that have been raised to respect the teacher and take education seriously and who are seated in the same classroom as those who don't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-578122490513750828.post-845632052821856252012-03-16T10:25:10.457-05:002012-03-16T10:25:10.457-05:00You have touched on so many truths of education.

It is so very true, as I am a substitute teacher and am in the school system looking at everything and talking with the teachers..it is a very sad situation. It really needs to go back to the days of long ago, until then, this is why I home schooled my 3 C's. :)Shannonhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000613201386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-578122490513750828.post-30419928046728323442012-03-13T07:39:30.360-05:002012-03-13T07:39:30.360-05:00Abhor, I couldn't have said it better.
