Ah this is so messed up. The teachers job is to teach Science, math, reading, history, writting and so forth.
Your job as a parent is to teach them morals, teach them how to behave etc. If your kids are acting up you are the biggest facter! you are a parent that is your job!!!
Next time a teacher calls home and tell you your kid is a shit head you better kick your kids ass when they get home, throw away the tv, take away their phone, Ipod etc.
However there are manny shitty parents just like you in the USA this is why USA public schools are out of control. In china I taught and parent accually dicipline their kids.
You are also free to visit your kids public school class anytime you like. Could you imagine if just one parent stopped by the class every day how much better our schools would be? Wait you are a feminist american bitch who is working and neglecting your kids. You should be at home cooking, raising your kids, and spending all your time making sure your kids are growing up right!

Maybe the title of your post should be "Blame the parents for enabling their children!" I'm sure your children know your opinion of their teachers and this also accounts for their behavior. It's a waste of time to argue, you can't win an arguement with ignorance. The language you use in your original post also speaks volumes about the person you are and the values you uphold...thena gain, I'm sure that we can blame the teachers you had for not raising you correctly?

Wow, I actually thought this was a joke at first ....

2011-10-16T16:51:43.541-04:00

Wow, I actually thought this was a joke at first ... The ignorance shown here is astounding.

Why is it the school's job to feed your child? Why is it the school's job to teach your child morals or to tie their shoes?

Why isn't this mother discipling her children? Is this mother expecting the school to raise her children? Maybe her children aren't learning because they have no role model at home to show them the value of education.

I sincerely fear for the future of this country.

Stop blaming teachers and take a good hard look at yourself.

I can't believe some people are actually agreeing with this ignorant mother. One poster even said the teachers need to take more responsibility... WHAT??? Teachers are taking on far more than than ever, and far more than they should.

Ignorance has truly reached epidemic proportions.

2011-10-02T12:36:09.024-04:00

Most of the people on here are right but teachers forget that they themselves are not god and any parent can do your job and be teachers what people are saying is don't think your doing anymore work than anybody else in the world your not!!!! And you get payed well for having 3 months off a year you chose to be a teacher so shut the fuck up or quit your job

2011-06-14T11:58:05.829-04:00

Okay, some of the things I read were just hurtful. However, they are correct education does not stop when your child leaves the school grounds. Now to clear up some myths:

1) Teacher sit around in the teachers lounge all day. Teachers barely get 5 minutes for lunch so the lounge is a room most rarely see the inside of.

2)Teacher have a tons of free time. Like hell they do! You think your job is hard try being a teacher for a week. They cannot grade in the classroom this is something they must take home every night. Their job does not stop when they walk out of the building. No they bring home 3-6 hours of work each day. Then they are grading, make their assignments and classwork up for the following week on the weekends. My sister-in-law never has time for her children because she never has a day without doing something required by law to be done each week.

3) Summer vacation? What summer vacation she has to start paperwork for the following year, go to this and that all of which is required so that she can keep her teaching certificate.

4) All they do is sit. BS! They must be standing at all times in the classroom.

My sister-in-law has so much work to do when she comes home that my spouse and I cook for her family once a week. Teaching your kids is the hardest damn job in the world! I don't see how she does it, god knows I would have done quit. Then she has to deal with parents like you. That believe you know whats what when you don't know shit. How about finding out the truth before you blame the teachers...

2010-12-24T20:29:18.424-05:00

Well, it hardly looks like there's anything left to be said in response to your completely retarded post. Your kids are VICTIMS of their mother, nothing more. What you need is a real heavy dose of empathy for teachers, but with your head shoved so far up your bunghole I doubt you ever see the light of day. Like you said, you're too busy making sure you GET whats YOURS. I'll be praying for your kids teachers, because with parents like you they really deserve even more holidays.

2010-11-02T09:26:44.048-04:00

EDUCATION BEGINS AT HOME! PARENTS RESPONSIBILITY TO PREPARE THEIR KIDS FOR THE SOCIAL PLATFORM.

AND AS FOR THE EXPECTATIONS PARENTS THINK THE TEACHERS ARE IMPOSING ON THEM - THE "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT OF 2001" WILL CLEAR UP ANY CONFUSION.

SO BEFORE THE FAULT-FINDERS SAY ANOTHER SLAG ON TEACHERS, GO TO AND ENTER THE ACRONYM "NCLB" IN THE SEARCH WINDOW. READ IN DETAIL WHAT IS REALLY AT STAKE. THE MORE THAT IS UNDERSTOOD ABOUT THE nclb ACT OF 2001, THE LESS COMPULSION TO "BLAME TEACHERS". FURTHERMORE, COMPLAINING AT ANY LEVEL WILL BE TIRESOME AND FRUITLESS.

FAR BETTER TO HAVE ONE'S KID READ ALOUD FOR A MERE 20 MINS A DAY IS TRULY THE 1ST STEP TOWARD RESOLVE FOR EVERYONE.

AND NO, I AM NOT A TEACHER, BUT I WILL DEFEND THEIR HONOR. kIDS NEED US ADULTS TO DEMONSTRATE DIPLOMACY TO RESOLVE MIS-UNDERSTANDINGS.
UNITED WE STAND. DIVIDED WE FALL.

WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE?
BALLS IN YOUR COURT JOCELYN.

2010-10-30T15:43:21.582-04:00

A child is the reflection of the parents wisdom and love. They are your legacy. My child is my signature on life. I am a single father and had her at a young age. I am proud to say that I work harder than her teacher at raising her as it should be. I am the bottom line with my child, not the teacher. I agree that schools are falling short in many areas, but if I wanted someone else to raise my kid I would have put her up for adoption. Education is a privilege, not a
right. It is my job to raise them, not some government institution. My child does not watch television, loves to read, gets good grades, plays violin, soccer, aikido. I don't even make much money. She buys her own toys except Xmas and b days. I'm very strict, but very loving we still cuddle and play together often. My daughter is happy she has a loving caring parent who puts her in her place and raises her as though she is a blessing, not a curse.

2010-10-29T20:11:09.860-04:00

I'm a teenager. I go to public school and I've always gone to public school. I can (and have been able to for many years) cook, clean, take care of my dog, clean a wound, perform CPR, respect people and animals, and even though we have cable I spend most of my afternoons either painting or reading. My teachers didn't teach me how to do any of that. My parents showed me to have integrity and encouraged me to do productive things with my time and they read with me and did things with me when I was younger rather than complain about what huge failures me and my teachers were on a blog.

2010-09-08T23:43:15.017-04:00

You are about as deep as a puddle.
I am a teacher and actually lived in Richmond, Virginia. I also went to a very prestigous college in another part of Virginia. I chose to teach because that is what I wanted to do. I love working with the kids. The absolute mother fucking thing I hate is white trash ignorant parents who expect everyone to provide, nurture, and love their children. You sit on you lazy ass and want everyone to do everything for your children. You probably want the teachers to wipe their asses too. The amazing thing is that I was looking up ideas for teaching my math lesson tomorrow and stumbled upon this trash. Yes it is 10:00p.m and I am working as I always do at night. I work a 90 hour work week and I practically live at the school. Teachers do not get paid for the summer. The same salary is spread over 12 months or 9 months. It is a parent's job to make certain that your children have social skills.If they can't sit down, listen, and pay attention, they probably will not be the brightest of the crayons in the box. I feel very sorry for your children. Their are so many people that want to and would be good parents, but that cannot have children. Your children should become wards of the state. They would be better off. Oh, and to the who's your daddy and mama club-sew it up or cut it off. If you don't want to have kids stop fuckin random people. Why would anyone have7 babies with different daddys???????
Apparently, you have ALOT of time on your hands. Perhaps you should get a job. I am tired of paying for the Who's your parent Jerry Springer peeps.

2010-07-02T20:57:14.127-04:00

First of all, I can not believe the cursing that is on this blog. Second, it is not the schools to make your child a model student or person. I worked for the school system for 15 years, and I have come across a lot of great teachers and administrators but still couldn't straighten out a lot of kids and you know why? Basically, because it is YOUR job to do this not the school. Too many parents are just plain lazy, and won't do what it takes to raise their kids the way they are suppose to be raised. That is why I can't understand if you can't be a responsible parent in all ways, then why did you have them. STOP PTB - Passing The Buck and raise them properly yourself!!

2010-06-18T10:01:35.562-04:00

I'm a special ed teacher and I'm sure all of your kids are in my type of classes because they can't behave and think everything should be handed to them instead of working for it. School is NOT a daycare and your kids probably get more attention from the teachers than they should...and not for educational purposes, but because they are disciplining them and taking away time from the kids who actually want to learn and work towards their goals. As a mother, you disgust me. You are not a mother, you are just the egg donor. One day I hope those kids get a chance away from you to see that there is better and they are so far behind and in a deep hole because of you. What a way to help your own children... show them that if they are lazy and do nothing if you bitch loud enough it will just be handed to you. I would hate to be the teacher of your kids because I would have to work with you who doesn't care. You know, there is a place where people can go and learn and have someone to watch their every move and discipline the way you want. Good for you that it is where your kids will end up...jail.

You are really twisted in the head if you think a teacher is supose to teach your child all these things. I kbow single moms who has taught their child more than YOU!! I don't care if you work 24 hours a day, your children are your responsibility. What the heck were you doing when your children was 2 and was doing something bad? Sounds to me all you have ever done was work and lay with your legs open!

2010-03-29T22:22:19.883-04:00

Just because you have a uterus, doesn't make you a mother; and you are definitely not a Mom! Child Protective Services should take your children away from you.

I stumbled across this blog, and I can say is wow! You ma'am, are a complete fucking tool! All of the things you stated that the school doesn't teach your kids is your responsibility! The school is responsible for EDUCATING your children, not to teach them how to be decent human beings! That my friend is YOUR job. Learn some personal responsibility and do your job. You sound like the type of person that is on Welfare, supports Gov't Health-care, and whatever other hand outs you can get, all the while blaming everyone but yourself for your pathetic life!

2010-02-02T23:57:33.085-05:00

Wow. I am nearly speechless at the moment. Please, explain to me, what do you do each day with your children? Have you ever been into a classroom where there is one teacher with 26 children running around? There is one thing you are right about, not all kids get as much attention as they should from their teacher. However, here is what you are missing: it's because of children like your own. I would love to know why you had children to just push them off on someone else? It is your responsibility to teach your kids manners, respect, cooking, cleaning, etc. Where were you the first 5 years of their life, when the start of these values should have been instilled in their heads? I know they were not in school during that time - so what is it that you were doing? If your kids are rude to, or disrespect you, that is your own fault. You are the parent. Not their friend. It is your job to raise them, not the job of somebody else. I feel bad for teachers because of people like you who send their child to school.

2010-02-02T18:38:26.078-05:00

You as a parent need to take action and teach your kids as well. Why should it be up to the teacher to teach your child morals and how to behave? That is your job. You are supposed to teach them. The reason why teachers are like they are is because they are limited on what they are ALLOWED to do. Teachers get paid squat and put up with TONS of shit. Because of your lack of parenting skills teachers are forced to deal with unruly kids that they have to put up with, Back in my day parents taught kids what they needed to learn to be civil human beings and teachers taught them Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. That is a teachers job. You do your part, they do theirs. Take responsibility for your own actions and stop blaming others!
