WHEN DID PARENTS STOP PARENTING? WHY ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED TO BE DESTRUCTIVE IN SCHOOLS?

 Texas teacher reveals how 'rude parents, disruptive children and poor pay' have forced her to quit her job in viral post - as she shares photos of classroom items 'destroyed' by her students

The FAILURE of PARENTS and the School administration is why we have *children* like the Texas AFFLUENZA teen , Ethan Couch -  https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/03/affluenza-teen-ethan-couch-leaves-texas-jail-two-years

The failure or refusal to DISCIPLINE students by both parents and the liberal mentality of today is why we have the school shootings and other disasters that are common news stories today.  NO ACCOUNTABILITY and the removal of CONSEQUENCES results in what we now have.

In the 1960's the person I blame the most for this mess is one Dr. Spock and his book on how to raise a child (how to raise a wild child with no rules).
I remember hearing parents who had kids the ages of mine go on and on about how wonderful this book by Spock was.  I watched their kids and saw it to be a recipe for disaster - which is exactly what it was and remains.  My children didn't get that kind of freedom - I held them accountable for all they did and they understood the differences between right and wrong and the CONSEQUENCES of taking the wrong action.  Not saying they were perfect kids - none are but they did understand and if they chose to misbehave they KNEW the belt was going to be applied to their backside.  That trip to the woodshed rearranged a lot of kids over the years -  failure to get that trip resulted in a lot of wild kids - many who later became roomers at the jails.  This proves all the moire  Proverbs 22:6  Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
This article below is only one of the many teachers who honestly try to TEACH these unruly kids.  As in all thing there are good and bad teachers - just like good and bad kids and parents.  I have disagreed with todays *(f)education* system since the mid 60's as I watched the watered down topics that were being taught.  How so many HS graduates now need remedial classes to get into colleges.  What used to be 7th and 8th grades subjects are not even taught in high school.

If your child has a good teacher - be sure to tell them thank you.  If said child has a lousy teacher - pull your child and homeschool.

A teacher has slammed her 'disruptive' students and their 'rude' parents over their lack of respect for her 'poorly paid' profession in a Facebook rant that's gone viral.

Julie Marburger, who works at a school Texas, said she had been pushed to quit her role as she feels as though she has 'no way to do the job I was hired to do... teach kids.' 

Along with her status, which has had 322,000 likes and more than 400,000 shares, she posted images of her messy classroom, showing broken shelves, books and even an iPad , explaining that many of the items destroyed by the children were paid for out of her own pocket as she has no budget.

Julie from Utah, who teaches students aged 11-12, revealed she had been pushed to the brink of quitting that day by a 'disrespectful' parent who shouted at her in her classroom for holding her son to account. 

In the post, she wrote: 'I left work early today after an incident with a parent left me unable emotionally to continue for the day.

Julie Marburger, a teacher at a school in Texas, took to Facebook in a lengthy tirade, slamming students, parents and the state for their treatment

'I have already made the decision to leave teaching at the end of this year, and today, I don't know if I will make it even that long.

'Parents have become far too disrespectful, and their children are even worse.

'Administration always seems to err on the side of keeping the parent happy, which leaves me with no way to do the job I was hired to do... teach kids.'

'I have finally had enough of the disregard for personal and school property and am drawing a line in the sand on a myriad of behaviors that I am through tolerating,' she added.

She then revealed that a parent had held her accountable for her son's behaviour that day, and had shouted at her in front of the child. 

Explaining that the report cards were due that week, she added that almost half of her pupils would fail as they had missed up to 10 of their assignments.

She then predicted from previous experience how she would be blamed for their failure by both parents and administration, and behaviour would further deteriorate.

Julie cited her reasons in the honest post that garnered 322,000 likes and 400,000 shares in which she accused 'rude' parents of enabling their children

Expressing her frustration at the lack of respect for her profession, she continued: 'I have never heard of a profession where people put so much of their heart and soul into their job, taking time and resources from their home and family, and getting paid such an insultingly measly amount.

'Teachers are some of the most kind and giving people I have ever met, yet they get treated so disrespectfully from all sides.'

Pleading for 'common courtesy' and 'civil conversation', she added: 'Most parents can't stand to spend more than a couple hours a day with their kid, but we spend 8 with yours and 140 others just like him.'

Admitting that her long-standing dream of having her own classroom had now been shattered, she said that many teachers felt the same, adding: 'My heart is broken to have become so disillusioned in these short two years.

'There is going to be a teacher crisis in this country before too many more years has passed unless the abuse of teachers stops,' she warned.

Julie then pleaded for parents to stop enabling their children, she added: 'It will not serve them towards a successful and happy life.'

And defending her choice to share her thoughts on social media, she concluded: 'I don't care anymore. Any passion for this work I once had has been wrung completely out of me. Maybe I can be the voice of reason. THIS HAS TO STOP.'

Pleading for 'common courtesy' and 'civil conversation', Julie - who shared photos from her classroom (above) added: 'Most parents can't stand to spend more than a couple hours a day with their kid, but we spend 8 with yours and 140 others just like him'

And after receiving an influx of support from social media users, with half a million shares and comments, Julie later took to Facebook again to add that she didn't want to forget the hard-working respectful students in her class.

'I would have pointed out that I have many amazing, hard-working, respectful students who show up every day and give their best and also many supportive, loving parents.

'For them I am thankful and hope I haven't offended. But my frustration was also in their behalf. Because the actions of some are hindering their educational experience,' she added.

Urging society to take three simple steps to address problems with its youth, she suggested 'reforming the education system, holding children accountable and treating one another with manners and respect'.

Followers quickly flooded her post with supportive comments, with many teachers admitting they felt the same way.
