[kanndaisy]

I’m the only member of my family that decided NOT to be a teacher. Holidays and family dinners are full of ‘teacher talk’ and most of the time I end up so frustrated by the lack of respect teachers get…mostly from parents who insist that their children are ‘gifted’ or ‘exceptional’ and claim that it’s the teacher’s fault for failing grades or bad behavior. More than once I’ve heard of parents wanting to sue the teacher or school district. For what? For teaching responsibility, work ethic, consequences? I often ask why teachers put up with this behavior from parents and the response I get is, ‘Because we have to.’ Why? What other profession would allow this badgering to occur to the most prized employees? It turns out that my career choice was a wise one even with the amount of dysfunction and desperation I see. At least I’m not labeled as the one to blame for it.
