21-You understand, instantaneously, why a child behaves in a certain way after meeting his/her parents.

While that may sometimes be true, it's often the case that, say, an outgoing parent has a shy child; a perfectly well adjusted parent has an antsy, or antisocial, or ADD kid, etc. I think that it's really and truly unfair and simplistic for anyone (teachers or not) to assume that every problem a kid has is due to some deficiency on the part of parents.

Why do people hate parents so much?
