The message of a teacher who has reached the end of her powers for too permissive parents

The problem of education and excessive permissiveness on the part of parents seems to be spreading in more and more countries, and these circumstances make more and more teachers drop out of education and change their field of activity.

Julie Marburger, a sixth-grade teacher in Texas, posted at a time when she had reached the limit, a text explaining what is wrong with education today, and this phenomenon is present not only in USA, but all over the world.

The message of a teacher who has reached the end of her powers for too permissive parents

“I left work earlier today, after an incident with a parent, which left me emotionally unable to continue the day.

I had already made the decision to leave school at the end of this year, and today I don’t know if I will be able to resist that much.

Parents have come to have little respect, their children are even worse, and the administration always tends to try to keep the parent happy, which puts me in a situation where I can not do my job for I was hired to educate children.

What does the class in which the teacher teaches look like, after a day with her students:

I also attach pictures that I took in my class during the last 2 days. This is what my class looks like constantly after the students spend their day in it.

Keep in mind that many of the items damaged or even destroyed by my students are either my property or I bought them myself for the class, because I don’t have a budget for it.

In the end, my indifference to my property and that of the school came to my notice and I draw a line here, after I got tired of the behaviours I had to tolerate.

Unfortunately, a parent thought it was wrong to hold the boy accountable for his behaviour and decided to keep my morale up with him.

The results come out at the end of this week and almost half of my students will not take passing grades because they are missing from the given homework even 8–1o homework.

Most students and parents did not care about this in the last 3 months, although an attempt was made to contact them.

Now I will probably spend the whole next week on the phone and on the email, giving an account to some parents who want to know why I dropped their children.

The director will ask me to explain why I failed so many, without giving them support, although I did everything I could, except to do my homework. And the behaviour of those in my class will continue to deteriorate. I expect that, because that’s what happened in the past at the end of each semester. “

Although the teacher confesses that it was her dream to pursue this profession, in just 2 years she realized that she cannot continue and it is time to give up the fight.

Finally, the woman gives some advice to her parents to stop this phenomenon:

“People MUST stop cuddling and allow any children.

It is a problem that will spread in our society such as vegetation fires.

It is not fair to society and, more importantly, it is not fair to children to teach them that such behaviour is ok.

It will not help them to have a successful or happy life. “
