The most important thing I have learned about my students parents are, we cannot get them to come to the school to periodically to check on their kids. We have a handful of parents that are involved with their kids, but that's all. If we take a student cell phone (whew), NOW here comes the parent that we have been searching for. Amazing isn't it.
I know exactly what you mean. The funny thing is that I have parents that call and text their kids at school and then if you take their phone up, they get mad and say "That's my child and I needed to speak with them." It's amazing the reason our students don't have respect for us is because the parents don't have respect for us. Me being a parent and a teacher, any issue that my kid has with their teacher, I tell them they have an issue with me too.
