He said the age at which children were violent and disrespectful towards their teachers 'is coming down to nursery level'. He added: 'Theyre swearing and throwing chairs at their teachers at younger and younger ages. It isnt surprising this is happening in a domestic setting. 'Parent abuse and parent battery appear to be on the rise and what seems to underlie this is to do with parenting, the lack of boundaries and the reversal of authority.

Someone is going to be in charge.
If it’s not the parent, it’s the child.
I know a girl who treats her parents like her servants, and they do whatever she wants
Other wise know as spank their butts.
I have a friend who is a teacher. # years ago he was walking around his 8th grade classroom when he spotted a pint bottle of Southern Comfort in a young girl's desk. When the bell rang he asked her to stay after and the rest of the class left the room.
He told her they were going to visit the principal where she could explain what the booze was doing in her desk. She immediately ran into the hallway screaming, "He's grabbing me!"
He is finally teaching again, but she made his life hell for 2 1/2 years while he was suspended and investigated.
While he was dumb for putting himself alone with her in the room, she was well schooled in how to take control and through the entire episode the topic of the booze and/or parental responsibility never came up. It was all about him and whether he was a pervert. She immediately had legal assistance and he was left to fend for himself. Even the teachers union that he is forced to belong to came down on him.
The empowerment garbage starts early in the schools and continues through college.
In a great deal of cases, it's because social services. I know somebody who had a brat that would threaten to call them if she didn't get their way. Another is going through hell with her now teenaged monster.
I agree. See post 7 however.
Also, check out some of the sitcoms aimed at tweens and teens on the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. Virtually every parent is portrayed as clueless and dumb as dirt, while the kids are smart alecks, who constantly outsmart and disobey mom and dad.
That’s how we got the president we have.
And after teaching kids in school to turn their parents in to the cops for so-called ‘abuse’, what did people expect would happen exactly?
Kids aren’t grateful anymore. “Gee mom... thanks for bringing me to the pool”? No.
And too many parents think that love means providing a kid with the stuff that they want ... all the time.
I am willing to bet that the parents of this young ‘lady’ are now wishing they had chosen another approach to child-rearing.
My kids (boys) were all raised by the Board of Education. It was applied vigorously and frequently to their seat of learning. Still have it, and have used it on my two grandsons. :o) Still works, too!
I was no better as a kid...given that my parents bought into the Dr. Spock crap.
...but I did learn from that and my kids don’t get away with jack, and when they try it, they are hurting for it.
...and the ironic thing is that kids (at least our kids) appreciate the structure that it brings, even while they’re young.
“I am willing to bet that the parents of this young lady are now wishing they had chosen another approach to child-rearing.
Well in England, using the proper approach is the fastest way to get thrown in jail. I even worried about it here in Texas and took some preventive steps.
My son tried this on me once. I reminded him that we lived in the country and that he would be dead by the time they got here.
you usually get a lot more of what you put up with
so you don't put up with any crap with the first one, and you damn well don't put up with it with those that follow
