Have you ever had a parent call you and ask you to call their child in the morning to wake them up from school? I’ve had parents with kids as young as 10 years old tell me they couldn’t do anything with their kids and they were close to giving up — AT 10!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

These sound like parents who love and care about their children and are desperate for help.

I am certain that since you are a professional the contempt for these parents that is evident in your post was not reflected in your voice or conversation with them.

I am certain that your professionalism recognized that these were parents who loved their children and were seeking much needed **help**!

I am certain that, as a professional, you knew of all the school services, and private and public agencies, that would help these parents learn more effective parenting skills.

I am certain that since you are a professional that you follow up with the child, the parent, and the counseling agencies to see that these kids and their parents didn't fall through the bureaucratic cracks.

Wintertime do you realize just how insulting these unprovoked comments are. And this is not the first time you have made these types of comments. Any Public school teacher that crosses your path gets some variation on them.

Free Republic is a news posting and discussion forum this is not discussion. You have complained about others using Alynsky tactics, and that is what you are doing.

Further about a month ago your posts caused another FReeper to advocate violence against Public school officials. Many of his posts ended up being removed by the moderator but you bear responsibility to some degree for his comments.

Finally these videos that you post links to comparing schools to prisons are not edifying to anyone. You don't like public schools that is your choice but to constantly seek to demean the good men and women that work there is just wrong and you should be ashamed of yourself.
