It goes without saying thatstealingis wrong.
For the parents, that is, as seen in thisteachers recent experience.
Its hard being a teacher.
On top of teaching oneself being difficult, theres also the kid to contend with.
This led to a private talk about why stealing is wrong, during which the kid started to cry.
Quite normal as childrens behavior goes in situations like this.
The teacher was gentle and there were hugs of support afterwards.
Well, once the parents were told about this, they seemed to have experienced tunnel vision.
Nothing effective, at least.
Posting in an online forum posed a threat of it getting it back to the parent.
Reddit is almost anonymous, so I felt safer to share my frustrations, said OP.
This turned into a discussion on whether or not the next generation isdoomedbecause of situations like this.
Redditors did, however, express support for the teacher.
Its all on the parents at this point.
The sad part is that these situations have happened before in OPs experience.
Ive taught for 14 years, many parents enable their childs behaviors.
There is no consequences or accountability for kids.
Many students are being raised without accountability and are learning to blame others for their mistakes.
And it doesnt help that parents like the ones in this story dont seem to care at all.
OP explained that she doesnt the parents realistically cared about the stolen tablet.
Instead, they were more upset with the fact that their kid was embarrassed.
So, theres a window in which they simply dont understand what they are doing.
But this is for the parents to do.
So, what are your thoughts on any of this?
