As a former teacher I admire teachers whose job description has certainly changed. What I feel needs to be addressed is the lack of parenting skills, lack of trust in teachers, supportive administrators, lack of teacher training, and not holding students responsible for their actions.<BR/><BR/>Derek Randel<BR/>www.stoppingschoolviolence.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1305469033894977351.post-66615332839780118402008-02-05T01:12:00.000-05:002008-02-05T01:12:00.000-05:00Thanks to teachers, my kids might stand a chance i...Thanks to teachers, my kids might stand a chance in this world.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1305469033894977351.post-62948827403467516242008-02-04T23:50:00.000-05:002008-02-04T23:50:00.000-05:00I thank God I get to home school my boys, but I'm ...I thank God I get to home school my boys, but I'm also shocked at how much school has changed for kids. The teachers are expected to do so much and parents just send them to school expecting it to all be done for them. <BR/><BR/>Good for you Diane.
