“Another student saw this and shouted, ‘Hey!
[Student’s Name], what are you doing?’
Thats when the tablet fell out from their shirt.”
[The] student admitted that [they] were trying to take the tablet."
“[I reminded the] student that sometimes we make mistakes.
[They] stopped crying less than 10 minutes later.”
“Mom asks again, and again.
I keep saying back,‘They tried to steal a tablet.
Finally, I say, ‘I guess she was embarrassed for getting in trouble?'”
“Mom also asked if it happened in front of the class.
“My principal, of course, [contacted] me about this whole issue.
I [explained] what happened.
I was basically told [to] next time just call the parents.
I guess talking IN PERSON wasnt enough?”
“But this is where Im worried about this upcoming generation.
What are we teaching our children?
Thats stealing is fine?
That if we make a mistake, its someone elses fault?”
One teacher,u/QueenOfNeon, wrote, “I teach middle school.
There is literally zero accountability.”
Ive seen parents blaming others in TODDLER playgroups.

And out-of-touch parents are everywhere, not just in the classroom.
“I am not strong in teaching her something I havent done in 10 years.
(I suck at math!)
She said, ‘Only dumb kids go to tutoring.’
It takes everything in me not to goDrake and Joshon ‘em.”
But misbehaving kids and their parents definitely aren’t unique to today.
Some people should not reproduce."
“This is an administration problem,” says useru/Grst.
“Parents have always been stupid about this stuff.
Schools used to not cater to them.”
