    You haven’t really spent any time near a school system have you? I don’t even refer to them as parental units anymore, they are just banshees. These awful horrible screaming demons that want you to raise their kid but also never discipline them.

      Nope I have not. I don’t have kids. I have heard your comment said by many other teachers around too. I don’t understand how it got to be like this. If people really don’t want the responsibility, time, money, emotional and physical investments of raising kids, they shouldn’t be having them.

        It’s not nearly as bad when you view it from a parent because for every team there’s probably not more than 2-3 really shitty, vocal parents. And usually they can be kept in check by other parents (peer pressure can and should still be a thing when used correctly at any age level, it just takes proper leadership).

        When you are on the other side all you get to see and interact with 75% of the time at best is the ugly, loud and rude. Full blast.
