Why are some parents so quick to want to beat down or curse out a teacher???? (490 hits)

I challenge all African Americans to do something positive for an African American foster child today! Again, I dare you! Ever heard of respite, or big brothers/big sisters. Come on, lets work on rebuilding our village. In addition, all of you parents out there who are ready to curse out an adult, especially a teacher, for correcting your child for something ignorant he/she has done, ought to stop and take note. What are you teaching him/her (your child). You are just setting them up to learn how to disrespect authority, which could in-turn lead them to incarceration, or worse one day. Stop the madness. There were times when I wanted to ring a teacher's neck, but no way on earth did I give my children a hint that I was angry with the teacher. I scheduled a meeting with the teacher alone, without the child. Yes, I voiced how I felt about the situation and if I felt my child was not wrong, I had not problem saying it, however, if my child was wrong, my child had to pay the price. I never went to the school to beat down or curse out the teacher for doing something I did not agree with. I handled the situation like an adult. If the teacher did not answer the way that I agreed with, or expected, I went higher up. I did whatever was necessary. I did it in a way to set a good example for my children. I am so sick and tired of some of these mothers pulling the ghetto, neck rolling attitudes. Please, we are better than that. I am sure you want your children to be better than that as well. Think... be proactive and not reactive. Look it up! Posted By:
