Sick Of Seeing Sad Kids This Teacher Wrote An Angry Rant To Parents, And It Went Viral

Teachers have it tough. Underpaid, resourced and appreciated, these guardians of the next generation do an amazing job ensuring that our kids get an education, doing their best to deliver results in trying circumstances.

But they need help from parents. Many kids don’t enjoy going to school at the best of times – and it makes a teacher’s job even harder if they are required to act as a psychological and emotional mentor as well.

This anonymous teacher asks just one favor – send your kids to school in a positive mood. It makes those difficult early years of learning, socializing and just life, in general, a hell of a lot easier when kids know that their parents have their backs at home!

Sick Of Seeing Sad Kids This Teacher Wrote An Angry Rant To Parents, And It Went Viral

I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

my mom screamed at me that my friends hated me before i got on the bus. I was crying surrounded by people I knew but wasn't friends with. It's awful. There's NEVER an excuse.

That is a terrible thing to say to a child. Reminded me of when my mother said 'don't talk to me, I'm not your friend'. Never really forgave her for that one.

Whilst I do agree I also want to point out that sometimes the school/teachers/others students etc are what’s making the kids miserable and sad, so is bastard a correct terminology we parents can use for you too? If it’s good for the goose, it’s good for the gander.

So true. How disrespectful towards parents. How does using sbusive and non supportive language help at all? Parents need support from teachers and schools, not judgement.

i always say to my son: i dont wanna fight .. not right before bed nor in the morning before leaving. we never know what happens... when i break my "rule" and i am angry and yell at him, i always! swallow my pride and my anger and apologise and say i love him.

That’s smart. Yelling happens, but it is something you should apologize for and set an example that apologizing is a good thing for anyone to do if they are in the wrong. This is quality parenting.
