Ex-Teacher Tells Off Parents Who Coddle and Enable Their Kids


It’s hard to imagine a profession as routinely undervalued as teachers. A social media post recently went viral when a teacher decided to finally call out the rude behavior of kids and parents in her classroom.

The pandemic has forced teachers to reinvent how they educate and most have been near heroic in their desire to still create an environment where their kids can learn. Sometimes, it gets disrupted by entitled, coddled kids and their enabling parents. The post has since been taken down and she has probably already lost her job (or been fired). But her point is an important one. Whether you are a student or a parent, respect your teachers. They deserve much better than what anyone gives them.
