Bravo! As a grandmother of elementary age children and a parent and parent-in-law of teachers I commend your thinking on this. I started seeing the shift in the 1990's when I was volunteering in my kids classroom. 'Little Johnny' and 'Little Jennifer' could do no wrong and the teachers authority was undermined as parents failed to support and back up the teachers in the classroom. Administrations have also failed teachers by not standing up for what is right. Sadly, in the end it's the kids who lose out.
Good to hear from you again! You couldn’t have said it better. It is hard and a risk to take a stand but it is the kids who suffer the consequences when we don’t.
