I'm sorry, but if all you do is pop in a movie or read a newspaper all during class, you have no right to be a teacher. I graduated 3 years ago, not really understanding anything. I'm sick of being a part of the dumbest country in the world. I want to learn! I want my future children to learn!
I understand that it's not ALL the teachers fault for everything. My sister was an intern at an elementary school last year and they had a disruptive student (3rd grade). They sent him to the office, and the principal told the teacher "just let him sleep". WHAT? How is the principal going to tell a teacher, "oh forget him. He wants to sleep." what does that show the child, other than throwing a temper tantrum will get him anything and anywhere?
Parents need to learn that these children are THEIRS to teach right from wrong- principles and morals! The teachers only job is to teach them arithmatic, science, history, english, etc! I'm tired of hearing sorry excuses of a parent saying, "Well, you're the teacher, so teach them."
Haven't they ever heard the phrase, "It takes a village to raise a child"? Parents and teachers need to work WITH each other instead of against, or else your and my future children are doomed for failure.
They are the future- remember that when it comes time to rely on them to save the world, etc.
