Parents get angry because they believe every lie that comes out of their kids' mouths. Instead of getting to the truth, they want to yell at admins and teachers. Half the time we don't even know what happened. When we get the gist of the situation, we try to explain to the parents what really went on and get yelled at some more. I want to yell back and say - "Why don't you comb your daughter's hair" Why does your child smell like weed? Why is your son angry all the time? Why does your child not like going home at the end of the school day? Why can't your child read and they're 15 years old? Why is your child 16 in the 8th grade? Why is your child cutting themselves? Why does your child wear dirty clothing and you're dressed well? Why doesnt your child do their homework, read a book, or participate in class? Those are some of the questions I would ask parents. Teachers get abused by everyone and blamed for everything. No one else wants to take responsibility.
