  Be careful what you say and post on the internet.
context: Are you sure this isn’t a rant? >
  
  What a random rant but alright carry on with your opinions. >
  
  Just a heads up coming from someone with a stepmother whose been a public school teacher for over 30 plus years, be very very careful what you say on social media, you aren’t as anonymous as you’d probably like to believe.
  I noticed by your post history that you substitute teach some, and that’s commendable of you. But please be aware that anything that you say can make it’s way back, and if you have any intentions on ever teaching full time, I’d hate for something like that to fuck you over, because I’ve witnessed it with my own two eyes.
  Teachers have always been under appreciated, under paid, and over worked. But if you ask most of them, it’s a labor of love. Administration has become so far removed from the classroom they are out of touch, the kids are wild, and the parents are difficult at times, no doubt about it. >
  
  Figured it was a rough day with the class lol. Yeah should be slightly careful people are vindictive especially with posts like this unfortunately if it gets traction. >
  
  I have a friend who was almost completely done with nursing school, I mean he was at the point he was almost done with all this clinical hours and everything.
  Took a random selfie while inside the hospital, and there was a computer screen in the background which displayed confidential information, violating HIPAA and immediately getting him kicked out of the program. 
  People don’t realize that the shit they post can come back to bite them. >
  
  There's always somebody online especially on Reddit who knows a little something something about what they're looking at and will zoom in on a detail like that. >
  
  Must not be an English teacher, your title has me perplexed.  If I had documented proof that a teacher was lying I don't care if the kid is a piece of shit I'd still call out the teacher.  But my default is all kids are assholes, so I'd likely not find myself in this predicament to begin with...  Good luck with your struggles Op. >
  
  Honestly, if you get mad at an adult for the fact that your kid lied to them, you are the reason your kid is manipulative. >
  
  I'm confused. My parents would ALWAYS be on the teachers side, no matter what bs they pull off. To be fair to them it seems that was just damage reduction. The second I graduated they openly admitted that some of my teachers were trash. Still would have liked some moral support as a student. But wtf is "esp w documented proof" supposed to mean. You're saying the teacher should never be hold responsible for misconduct even when proven? >
  
  It's definitely not like that anymore. The parents of the worst kids typically side with their kids over the teacher, even when the situation is obviously something along the lines of what the OP is describing. It's almost like there's a cause and effect relationship... >
  
  Wow can people learn anything about their dumb useless rants?   It’s called unpopular opinions…why can’t OPs understand how this forum works?  Let me teach you something….
  -the longer your title, the less unpopular the opinion…
  -the more caveats to your title, the more compartmentalized and inconceivable your opinion becomes…
  -the extra use of punctuation, parenthesis, brackets, quotations and dashes in your title turns your opinion into an attempt to be right rather than convey an opinion
  -if the opposite of your opinion is more unpopular, then it doesn’t belong in here…
  -when you post something here, you insinuate that everyone in this forum disagrees with your opinion 
  Your title, just seeing how long it is…i can tell that your opinion is an outward attack and attempt to be correct  due to a recent scenario in your life in which you came to these thoughts…which is just sad…
  Secondly, your “opinion” completely lacks an understanding of this forum. You have all these caveats to make your opinion perfectly fit your narrative so no one else can have a perspective…that’s why your title is what it is other wise it woulda just been called “stop blaming teachers for your kid’s bad grade.” But you’re so hell bent on being right you can’t even form a cohesive title…
  Thirdly, you’re talking about school and kids.  The majority of kids at school are pretty much good…yes some don’t do great, some don’t learn perfectly, some come from messed up families and it shows in their work but i worked in public schools for nearly ten years and the crazy parents blaming the teachers were no where near the majority.
  Finally, if i were to sum up your entire “opinion” your basically saying “don’t be a ‘Karen’ when it comes to your kid’s education”….that being said…why would u come to unpopular opinions if all you’re trying to say is don’t be a Karen? No one likes a Karen, no one likes a person that’s blatantly wrong but insists on being right, no one likes someone who overreacts to their kids, soooo why are you complaining about it in this forum as if we’re all a bunch of Karens causing issues at our kid’s schools? 
  Whatever you post here, insinuates that the people in this forum support whatever you’re opposing soooo by posting this in here you’re basically saying we’re all a bunch of teacher blamers and enabling parents that don’t care about our kids educations… >
  
  i've worked in schools not as a teacher but as a school attendance supervisor, it sounds fancy when translated to english but i was just really helping the teachers in the classrooms with the more energetic kids. anyway i can confirm that 80% of problems in a schools are caused by parents. The reason is because these parents believe Schools to be like any other business where the customer is always right.  Problem is that the parents arent the customers the kids are and therefor if the customer is always right then the kids are always right and trust me let kids run a school you'll have anarchy. >
  
  Add to that the rhetoric of "I pay your salary, you work for me!" Nope and nope. >
  
  this can be true most kids are pretty mean lol but alot of teachers just do not care or have lifestyle they push >
  
  Very serious accusations. Do you have any evidence? >
  
  Look around at all the entitled lil pieces of shit, walking around making excuses for bad behavior. What more do you need?
  I bet if someone said the opposite you’d be satisfied without further challenge.
  Fuk kids, fuk parents. >
  
  Well this is just a rant so I still wouldn't agree with this generalisation. >
  
  You certainly seem like the type of mature and well-adjusted person that should be teaching children >
  
  My experience is with an online school.  We had to get another teacher because our kids weren't doing the work, and we didn't know where to find the information.  We asked for how to find the info on their grades and progress for about a month, and instead of simply telling us where to find the grades, the teacher rants on Facebook how "parents are so stupid they can't find the grades that are right in front of them."
  Yeah, my kids are dumb slackers, but the teacher providing zero assistance from the second week, and then taking time to rant is not acceptable.
  I think we have a good teacher now, and if the kids continue working like they have been, they might advance to the next grade. >
  
  The real issue is that homework is a worthless and lazy means of getting kids engaged in a topic. It’s also changed over the years in terms of how much homework per topic that teachers give on average to kids. It’s considerably more difficult in high school when kids are also doing as many extracurriculars as possible and thinking about/applying for college.
  Maybe consider the kids’ individual situation a bit more before getting pissed at them or the parents. Parents are naturally defensive (unless they know their kid’s a screwup). >
  
  We all know a Karen who KNOWS lil Giovanni is a piece of shit. And they still go off and try to protect the lil turd.
  parents are defensive, period there I fixed it for you. >
  
  Be careful what you say and post on the internet. >
  
  r/rant >
  
  As an educator I can't stand parents that think their kid isn't the problem. I do feel it's gotten worse as this sensitive snowflake culture has gotten more and more prevalent. Especially since I'm in higher education, as an adult they need to learn responsibility and accountability because landlords won't care about an excuse when rent is due. Your supervisor is not going to care about your excuse when they ask you to complete a project by a deadline. It's those same parents that created this lazy generation of kids that have no responsibility >
  
  Rant, not an unpopular opinion >
  
  Parents sure have changed for the worse in the last 20 years >
  
  That’s gonna depend on the metric. For example, parenting is more involved now than before. The time both fathers and mothers spend with their kids has been increasing since the 60s. >
  
  Teacher's are less involved now especially for children with special needs >
  
  My perception is that education is more involved for kids with special needs, but I don’t really have data to confirm or deny it. >
  
  Some do some don't mostly because some schools only want normal quiet kids >
  
  If you hate your job so much, then quit. >
  
  as long as theyre teaching good and keeping things in line theyre a good teacher >
  
  i think there should be a balance betwen the 2, also why is this nsfw >
  
  r/randomthoughts >
  
  love it. but then, watching all of this play out over the decades just reinforces my initial decision, made at 14, that I'll never have children. I never wanted them and the more I see the more I am glad I held that course. >
  
  r/trueoffmychest is a more fitting sub for this. >
  
  Nobody in this world is perfect, yk? >
  
  wait.. people blame teachers for this stuff? lol i have had teens in and out of my home (foster care) and have a 15yo in my house now, plus 9 and 4.. but ya, if they're FAILING it's never the teachers fault, it's the kid.. just check into their schedule a bit, empty out their backpacks and look at the disorganization, look at their missed assignments on the school portal or email the teacher, you'll find out real quick why your kid is failing, it's 99% their fault and 1% Teacher fault for not telling the parent sooner.. if the teen STILL doesn't get their shit together after beign shown what to do to fix it all and get accomidations from the school to make it all up (late or extra credit) so they can pass that grade.. then guess what, they lose their shit, computer, phone, car, anything you pay for as a parent.. those are luxuries not nessessities, also it might be a good time to put "screentime app" on their phone and put time restrictions with website blocking on their computer or whatever computer they're using.. I do this at my house and i get complete complience from boys up to 19yo to girls up to 20 before they head out to make something of their life.. 100% of them have grown up to appreciate the measures in place to help them get on track and pass school and make better boundaries around life and friends and social apps... PARENTS ARE 100% in charge and if their kids are failing without them even knowing, it's their fault too. >
  
  Just a rant, not an unpopular opinion or really much of an opinion at all >
