you see, as i have to work close with the school, that angers me too. i see loads of parents just not bother. i've seen parents have a go at teachers, using all kind of language, about 'how they wanna sort ya class out' and all that.
Had that many times...but one of the worst offenders I had was a kid who,when remonstrated and given sanctions would go home,turn on the tears and then the mother would come storming into school screaming blue murder!Once she even stormed into a class and started yelling the odds!Its my only major gripe about my job(any other gripes would be the same as any other job),is the lack of parental back up.It makes enforcing discipline nigh on impossible if the parents completely undermine you.
But as in any other public sector job,keeping cool in the face of abuse is sadly part of the job.
