This teacher revealed on facebook why she decided to quit, and it was not pretty. She called out parents for not spending enough time with their children and according to her, most badly-behaved kids don't get enough support at home
Jessica Gentry, 34, from Harrisonburg, Virginia, took to Facebook on Thursday, June 13, to reveal the reason she quit her job at Stone Spring Elementary School after 12 years of teaching.
This is just a tiny portion of what she wrote, but you have to read the rest on her facebook... it is so true...
Instead of holding parents accountable... and making them true partners, we've adopted a customer service mindset. I've seen the Facebook rants about attendance and getting "the letter". Well, here's the thing... I can't teach your child if he's not in school🤷♀️. I was cussed out by parents who wanted to attend field trips but missed the THREE notes that went home--and when they did attend a trip, sat on their phone the entire time. I've had parents stand me up multiple times on Conference Days then call to tattle on me when I refused to offer an after school option. I've had parents tell me that I'm not allowed to tell their child 'no'..
