You mean the parents who are both working full time to make ends meet, stressed because they have to cook, clean and tidy up after a child, and each other if one of them is a deadbeat, and multiple children if they have multiple, all while they can barely afford rent, bills and food for themselves… and that’s banking on the assumption that they even live in a family home together! A lot of younger parents are living with their parents because it’s so impossible to afford a home these days! The conflict between generations will also rear its ugly head, too!
With parental situations like these, is it any wonder that kids are absorbing this stress and negativity through cultural osmosis, and then lashing out at school?
Genuinely, so much respect to these young parents trying their best. They had kids in a world that was not set up for them. Look at how parks are becoming dilapidated and children’s zones disappearing. The mini play areas at McDonald’s, for example, the lack of colour everywhere, the world is becoming a less and less kid friendly space.
Mad respect to anyone who is still trying. Maybe schools need to change to work with the 21st century?
It’s his job to defend schools and pass the blame to parents, and in many cases he isn’t wrong, some parents are absolutely useless. But I wouldn’t say the amount of useless parenting has proportionally risen too much, just they have now also learned to exploit the systems as pointed out in the article.
However, schools are also partially to blame herr. Many have been too slow to ban mobile devices, are soft on pupils to try and ensure their numbers are good and targets are hit, with a just get them through the door, then they are someone else’s problem mentality.
I’ve had students arrive at university, asking “since when did maths had this many letters in it?” And expecting to be hand held through every assignment and told exactly what to write. They then get anxiety and have a meltdown when told the task requires them to work it out themselves.
Recently I have had students try and use a doctor’s note to get out of having to do exams, as apparently they were allowed to do this prior to university.
Can’t really disagree with him here to a degree! Too many people have kids but then can’t be arsed to actually do the job so kids turn into little arsesoles. It really annoys me because so many good people who want kids but can’t have them and then you get the reprobates that do who shouldn’t.
Realistically it’s pointless blaming parents because nothing will fix that.
Unless you want to create laws about how people parent.
If digital ID is too much overreach for many, rules for parenting will never happen.
So what is the solution?
I agree with a lot of it, but it goes both ways too. Thought out my daughters journey through primary all of her teacher were fantastic; went above and beyond to help the kids do well and did it in a nurturing way.
Her year six teacher was very much not that. Now whilst I appreciate the pressing requirements of year six, sats, preparing them for high school etc, some of this teacher behaviour was difficult to explain to a 10 year old. For example, removing books she read at home from her reading log (which counts towards prizes at the end of the year) because she doesn’t like them, screaming at a child with dyspraxia for having poor writing which caused them to cry.
I feel that it is right to question behaviour like that. point out the impact it’s having on children and ask for the rationale behind it. I’m willing to accept if my child was misbehaving – but she wasn’t. She was simply going to the library and reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
