I'm tired of the teachers being blamed for poor parenting skills. I'm a public high school teacher and many times calls and meetings with parents go unheeded. Parents are "afraid" of their children: they will not discipline them; they will not give them boundaries; they do not want to admit that maybe, just maybe, their children are not perfect because that would reflect back on the parents. Classroom management is one thing, but cheating comes from a lack of character-building in the home. How many of those cheating students have parents who brag about not paying taxes, or getting too much change at the store and not returning it, etc.?
