Why did I click on that? I know better.

It’s not even about teaching kids to respect authority; it’s about teaching respect for other PEOPLE.

Yikes! I’m so glad I’m retired.

I’m pretty sure that wasn’t in the curriculum.

So the DOJ will look at the case and go yup. Wrong was done…. Then do nothing.

> I don’t know why it’s growing

Our society is more global than ever. "Community" no longer exists. People live how they want, regardless of their impact on others (what's best for me, what's best for my family).

It used to be what's best for me, my family, my community, my nation, humanity, the world. Less and less people have an interest in those last few and some people don't care about the first few either.

Can blame internet, capitalism, billionaires, GOP, dems, commies, doesn't matter. Until we're all forced into a position to put societal needs above our own, things will worsen, not improve. I fear by the time humanity is forced to do that, it'll already be too late (perhaps it is, but I'm hopeful human ingenuity can still surprise us).

It's ok to say bad parents

I work security at a school. Some kid and their mother got in a fight with another kid just two weeks back. Happens more than people like to admit

I can, we had several parents show up to fight middle school kids last year because of he said she said bullshit, which, when added to all of the other crazy stuff that happened, gave me, and most of the other teachers there, some serious mental health issues that have only calmed by leaving the profession.

I think current parents are less mature and less civil than back in the day parents. My dad would never have brought a baseball bat to beat up a kid I went to school with , he wouldn’t have even dreamed of questioning a teacher’s authority. There are a lot more self centered, narcissists these days and they happen to have kids.

My mother once had her dad come to school and just sit in the parking lot making sure she got in the building, back in the seventies. Maybe it was different since she was a teacher. Some students threaten, and she took it seriously.

I apologize Gen-X never grew up and think their kids are special.

I have no clue. It was just her side of the story. It was a short clip. I'm sure they did. But she just kept going on and on. She was talking about gender ideology and grooming. So... She one of those people.

You forgot that Schools can't do anything because of Parents in the first place. Parents are the ones who sued the living hell out of schools and now those same types of parents are complaining the schools aren't doing anything. Which is true, because the schools don't want to get sued.

When it comes down to it, its like 95% parents that are the problem.

Did they answer any of her requests?

No, she's not crazy for wanting to know what her kids will be doing, learning in class. She's crazy because she put in 100s, plural of requests. For a Kindergarten class. Like, you don't find that a bit much and borderline criminal harassment?
