‘We Have Seen the Enemy, and It Is Us.’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Once again, I’m pulling a comment up here for further discussion. This one comes from MMM in reference to the teacher’s post about lack of administrative support when it comes to discipline. MMM says it’s parents who need to back their child’s teachers.
“Speaking as a parent. We have seen the enemy and it is us. Not teachers, not administrators, but the parents who will attack the messenger—whether it is the teacher or administrator rather than listening to and backing the adults.”
True or False? And can this back and forth blaming between teachers and parents be resolved? If it were resolved, would it help fix the unruly behavior that is driving teachers from the field and keeping well-mannered students from learning?
