I taught 6 mths in an elementary school. I couldn't believe those kids. I taught 7 yr-olds to 12 yr-olds. MAN! Those kids have no respect for anyone. I was the form teacher for a class of 11 yr old kids. Most kids were ok. However, there were a few who, well bigger than I am, they actually tried to intimidate me while I was trying to break up a fight between them once. They threatened me :" Come on! Interfere more and I will tell my mum to lodge a complain agst you and you will lose your job!" What da......................... I remember very clearly that on my first day in the school, the principal actually told me not to scold the kids or punish them coz the parents were going to make a lot of noise. :mad:
At the end of the day, the last teacher teaching the class had to lead the kids to the gates where their parents were waiting. I actually heard several times, the parents telling the kids that they would come to school and yell at the teachers if they dared to scold their kids. They would whip the teachers if the teachers dare to punish the kids.
Geez! What happened to the good old days when children respect their teachers? I remember during my time, my parents and classmates' parents leave everything to the teachers. The teachers could scold us, punish us or even hit our hands with rulers if we were ever naughty. None of us would even dare to protest since we know that we were in the wrong.
During Teacher's Day, when teachers get cards of thanks from students,
I remember the teacher sitting next to me getting a card drawn with coffins and a wishing, " MAY YOU BE DEAD WHEN YOU READ THIS AND THE COFFIN'S FOR YOU!" I knew the kid who wrote that and I knew the parents. The parents actually came to school, kicked up a big fuss and cussed at the teacher when this kid had to do detention for all his rudeness and unruliness. They accused the teacher of mistreating and being biased against the kid. They claimed that their child was an ANGEL! Man...this kid is the type who would hit you if he got the chance. He was the big bully in school. Everyone knew that.
Sheesh.....I really wonder how and what are the parents teaching their kids nowadays.
My housemate's niece and nephew likes to sit at least 12 hours, 7 days a week in front of the computer playing games. Mark this, they are only 13 and 12. When their grandma tells them to do their HW, their dad will tell his mum off for not loving the grandkids and not letting them do whatever they like.
Serious, what happened to the good old days?
