Question: As a teacher I need help learning to handle spoiled children whose parents enable them. have? What ever happened to accountibility?  So many parents these days take sides for their child and ignore the reality teachers are trying to present.  This is especially true for students whose parents demand "extra time" because their child forgot their homework, can't stand to see a "B" on a report card, or can't believe their child could possibly do anything wrong!  I know teachers aren't always right, but many parents enable their child to the point of nausea.  Who is going to pick up for Johnny when he's 50 years old?!

Answer: The worst thing I have heard as a teacher was " my child would never do that "\nWe are not babysitters and it irks me when parents wants a personal tutor because  " Little  Johnny " still don't understand. L.J.was not even paying attention.\nI asked one of those parents once to come to class and spend the day to observe her son.Needless to say she was embarassed.She quickly changed her opinion.She thought I was picking on her son all this time.\nParents,please don't have that " NOT MY CHILD "attitude
