Maybe parents need to start actually parenting again and stop with the new age non-sense we have seen in atleast the last generation. Your child should not be allowed to scream, yell, and throw a tantrum in public while the parents just laugh and say "ohh kids will be kids" bull shit. If I did that as a Child.. well lets just say I would not have been a fun time. (edit: do be clear I do not mean corporal punishment, my parents had a no hitting rule however I also knew I would be punished in various ways should I not follow the rules, or be respectful in public)
The idea that it should be acceptable for child to "cause trouble" in school is the problem, not that the school would remove them.
Used to the biggest threat you could make to a child is "I am going to call your parents" today if a school does that chances are Karen is going to show up and tell the school how great their snowflake is, and how it is school or business that is the problem not that child. Children are not held to any acceptable standards of behavior or responsibility for their actions
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoMaybe parents need to be able to survive without two jobs each so they actually have time to be parents.
- syshum 5y agoBoth my parents worked, one of which was away from home 60-70% of the time for work... They were able to parent just fine. They were not high earners either, probably not poverty levels wages but not middle class either.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoYeah, so did mine, and one of them worked a late shift that meant they basically slept all day, but that was in the 80s and early 90s. I don't know if you've noticed but the economic reality for the low rungs of the economic ladder is much worse today.

You can kick a misbehaving child out, but that doesn't help the child. You can fine the parents--who probably don't have the money to pay the fine anyway. You can put a parent in jail--that's not necessarily going to improve the situation. You can take the child away from the parent--but, man, the number of times that improves things borders on non-existent. So, what do you do to force a parent to start taking responsibility for their misbehaving child if they aren't already? I certainly don't have any good answers.
