Reply #4: Every time kids don't learn, teachers get blamed.....

[Sarah Ibarruri]

And nearly all the time it's the fault of parents, who allow kids to not apply themselves, to do no homework, give them texting privileges on the phone so they pay zero attention in class, etc. etc. etc.

Punishing teachers and forcing them to practically use a mallet on a kids' heads, is stupid.

It would be that much easier if parents sat down with their kid and either took her/him to a doctor to see if the child has a learning problem, and if not, took the texting messages OFF the phone and threatened them to make As or else more privileges would go.

Guaranteed the kid would start learning.

Stop punishing American teachers. The U.S. always goes after the teachers and it's not the teachers. It's the kids, and the parents, and the culture.
