That iPad problem is a big one. What is wrong with parents that they let their kid have their brain sucking iPad until 3am. We have feral children being raised by iPads instead of humans.

[@rebeccafoster-faith688]

It's neglectful

[@charlotteillustration5778]

When my son and his friends refused to stop playing games on his computer at night, I would turn off the electricity. After a couple of times, I only had to mention it to make them stop, as they knew I would follow through with action!

It’s dehumanizing that teachers are thought of as glorified babysitters rather than their actual profession.

[@christinesmith7838]

Not always but can be. It’s not just the USA. I’m in the UK and I’ve had parents bring their children back to me after school to discipline them because the children wouldn’t listen to them.

[@lms1068]

I had a parent drop off their vomiting child repeatedly. I'm talking 3 times in one day, pushing the child through the gate and running because they were busy and didn't want to look after their child. The parents complained it was our fault their child got sick because others were doing the same thing they were.

[@sassynfree884]

Have you SEEN the “teachers” of today? I wouldn’t even let them babysit my kid!!

[@kkerr1953]

With these type of requests (and I guess they’re common), I can’t even imagine why anyone would want to be a teacher today. Sounds like the parents expect you to be private nanny/babysitter/nurse. And if you take care of every child like this, when do you have time to teach? No wonder our education system is in shambles!

Yes! The schools have to provide a “safe space” for the students but where is the “safe space” for the teachers? The idea of a room with a bunch of sound proof pods filled with teachers just going in to have a few minutes of good screaming sounds great! 😆

[@paulagoeringer9466]

Yup and a break room that's literally for breaking stuff just for stress relief. Also a mini bar for those really bad days. 😂 Jk. But a gift certificate to a local bar or liquor store at the end of the year wouldn't be amiss.

I worked for our public school district for many years. He is not exaggerating. Fact will always be stranger than fiction. The one I will never forget is a Mom's response when told her kid has anger issues. Her reply? "Well what did you do to make him so mad?"

[@nikoknightpuppetproduction369]

I heard the exact same thing. I was punched by a student and was asked, "what did you do to cause him to hit you?" I, not the student, was in trouble.

[@blackgirlhappyplanner3482]

Wow.

[@pmholli54]

Rather disturbing that parents are basically admitting child neglect to a person required by law to report neglect. Especially that first parent asking what the teacher plans to do about her child being allowed to stay awake playing video games so frequently he’s bullying other children.

[@AdrianM865]

MASSIVE L on that parent.

[@munimathbypeterfelton6251]

Many parents treat teachers like priests inside a confession booth, except that rather than seeking solutions to their children’s shortcomings, the parents demand that other people fix the problems that they themselves created. It’s hopeless.

[@DoloresJNurss]

BINGO! That's child neglect. Any time a child suffers health problems due to something a parent should have done but didn't, it's criminal negligence, and that includes lack of discipline. I knew somebody who went to jail because she failed to stop her daughter from trying to ride a known problem horse, and her girl got bruised up. The effects of chronic sleep deprivation on a child's body and mind is much worse than that.

[@paulagoeringer9466]

It's parents like that who make you wish that the teachers were allowed to whoop the parents butt in front of their little goblins.

[@pinkpaprika8410]

Back in the 70‘s I remember watching a TV program where teenagers were asked how strict or permissive they found their parents. One of them said: „My parents don‘t love me, they never punish me.“

[@carol7851]

My favorite: I have an n word for you "NO!" Why can't more parents use that word?

[@marlajackson]

Called parent from the office so I would have witnesses. "Your son cannot be yelling f**k you at children on the playground," mom's response as she is laughing, "That's because we yell f**k you at him at home all the time." Laughs again. "Well it needs to stop because yelling that word at anyone is inappropriate." I hang up and the office staff is shaking their heads and the principal is laughing and says, "Welcome to public education Marla." He then reminds me this student has already reached the limit on suspensions to which I reminded the principal that teachers can suspend students too. You have to write a book on him but, I will do it if I have to. That shut him up.

Oh I forgot, as a teacher, in addition to teaching, I have to be on call 24/7, parent the children and be miracle workers! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 I love these videos because they are 1,000% TRUE!

[@DoloresJNurss]

With that first parent, I'd have answered that "What are you going to do about it" with, "Well, about the only thing I CAN do is call Child Protective Services and report a neglected child suffering from sleep deprivation." I bet she'll never try that again! That is, if she's ever allowed back into her child's life. Sleep deprivation can have disastrous impact on a child's health! Also, two naps during the day does not add up to a full night's sleep. Your brain and body has a process that it has to go through every night, for 7-9 hours. If you interrupt it, it has to start over from the beginning--you're never going to get to the important parts if you keep trying to sleep in a few hours scattered here and there. Call the CPS on that one, too! As for the woman who wanted to celebrate her daughter's loss of virginity, there's actually a longstanding traditional preemptive party for that sort of thing, and she could have a full-scale cake and everything. It's called a wedding. Almost every culture has one. In some cultures the festivities last for a week. I recommend it. But it should wait--both the celebration and the occasion for it--till she's out of high school and mature enough to handle all of the complicated consequences.

[@cindygarwood109]

As a retired High School Special Ed teacher I was asked (and sometimes required ) to clean noses , write in planners everyday, give naps and had lots of birthday parties. Which I was usually ok with because my kids really didn’t have friends outside of our program… we made it “a social skills lesson … wouldn’t do that for a regular Ed kid though!

Unbelievable how many parents think it's teacher's jobs to be the parents of THEIR children! And it's because of their own FAILURE as parents. And not to mention how a teacher could be sued for doing medical-mother type things like using the snot sucker and using a racial slur at their child! And even fired for doing those things. It could be considered assault to use a snot sucker. I could see the same parent claiming that and bringing up a complaint.

[@amylee8969]

@Dan5819 I know right. It’s like people have kids just to treat them like accessories, but don’t pay enough attention to them. Teacher’s don’t spend years getting a teaching license to be babysitters….that’s what daycare is for.

The gentle parenting needs to stop. I've been a preschool teacher for over 20 years. I promise this starts at age 1!!! I had a parent not leave until the child told them to. The child is 3!!! A dad told me " he can't be mean to his son". So he can't ever tell him no.
