I’m with you. I am SO tired of parents not parenting their children. My daughter is a preschooler and it’s already VERY evident which parents are parenting and which parents expect children to miraculously parent themselves.

I totally agree! I’ve seen so many parents just let the schools do all the disciplining which isn’t enough~! And my poor 4th grade daughter’s entire class gets punished for just a FEW misbehaving kids. They lose their entire recess and that is not fair!

In reply to Amanda. I cannot handle it when parents blame schools for a grade their child got. It drives me batty! My ex boyfriend, the father of my daughter is like that. It is downright ridiculous and frustrates my daughter. My daughter was raised by me to be held accountable for her actions and the grade she gets is the grade she did. Too many want to baby our youth or befriend them --- sad sad and not good! Our future generations of adults scare me!

In reply to Aimee Smith. I totally agree, I am writing an article actually right now about to publish today because I cannot agree with you more about how parents need to parent, not schools parent our youth! Hope you will stop by to read it in about 45 minutes when it's live!

It’s so heart-wrenching when justice gets all screwed up and misaligned. I hadn’t heard about the boy, but how ridiculous of the school, and aww to his little heart. Those things hurt.

I think the schools are in a hard situation. I feel as though ‘entitlement’ has gotten a little out of control. Egos are big and people seem to think that they are the only ones that matter. I am glad that I do not have to be in charge of making decisions. The schools can’t seem to do things right and it’s ultimately hurting our kids. Teachers aren’t allowed to teach. During the winter the school was blasted for canceling school too often and then when they had school the other side was upset because they didn’t cancel. Teachers are getting in trouble for passing out bad grades when in fact, those were the grades that were earned. I’m not saying at all the 2 instances that you pointed out were right or handled correctly, but we also need to say to the parents who were bullying the boy that they need to step up. Your kids shouldn’t bully. It’s not the schools job to teach that. Moms and Dads need to help teach our kids!
