There are good and bad parents, just as there are good and bad teachers.

Money is tight and budgets will have to be cut. I have been teaching at the high school level for many, many years The one thing I have noticed is a lack of discipline, and entitlement in the students that seems to increase with each passing year. I had a student actually tell me several years ago..."But you HAVE to change my D to an A! If I get all A's my Dad will buy me a Hummer!"

I have seen a change in parents as well. Phone calls home concerning discpline issues have gone from, "What did my kid do?" and "Thanks for letting me know, I'll be sure to deal with this." to...."What did you do to my kid?"
