24 Modern Parenting Trends That Are Doing More Harm Than Good, According To Teachers


8.

“I’m a middle school teacher, 20 years in. When my mom would get a call from the school, she’d answer it with, ‘What did my child do?’ Now, when you call a parent, it’s ‘What did you do to my child?’ The automatic assumption is that the child is telling the truth and the teacher is lying or making something up, that the teacher has something against the child or is just mean or lazy.”

“It’s demoralizing to us, completely undermines our relationship with the kid, and puts all the control in the hands of the child, not the teacher or the parent. Kids’ brains haven’t developed enough to make those choices and decisions; that’s why we have school. Teachers are here to help kids learn from mistakes, and parents refuse to acknowledge that kids are making them.”
