From the perspective of the teacher, you have those kids in the room w/ the ones who think their child is god's gift... it's basically a calculated risk to discipline a kid so a bunch get into later grades with that problem

That's about the extent of the culture problem you're talking about that I see, but there's a lot of pieces to the puzzle here

That I can agree with.

MY kids know better. But for an example, my 8 year old. I told him one time and one time only - he acted the way he did, he was going to get his ass whooped and his response was; "Well my teacher said if you touch me I can call children police services for child abuse". After that comment, I nearly lost it and kicked his ass but thought to myself - what in the fuck? Granted his actions did not warrant an ass kicking but definitely warranted a warning of an ass kicking if he conducted himself in that manner again after being warned.

Now I know my kid didn't just make that shit up - where did he learn that? Clearly in school. Children police services" tho lol.... They aren't the total blame, I agree but a major piece to that puzzle.
