I've had at least two versions of this parent every single year of my teaching career. For all the non-teachers watching this, let me assure you: this isn't an exaggeration in any way; if anything, this kind of parent is even more clueless, aggressive, and frustrating than shown here!

How do teachers put up with this? Can't they defend themselves?

@jennytheohsoshyone25 I'm fairly certain that if all the students/parents who didn't feel the need for school could stay home and do their classes online, it would solve about 70% of the problems in American education :/

THIS IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION!!!!! this is exactly how some parents make excuses, change the topic and defend their teen children. OMG!

@whydoicare222 With this kind of parent, no. Any response is an attack on the parent or student or both. Just go home and have a drink.

My mom is a teacher, so I know some stories of parent-teacher conferences; one time, a parent came in, raving because my mom took her child's taro cards away because she was playing with them in class; just recently, a parent came in yelling about how my mom called a kid "childish". This stuff does happen people!

Teachers have no point anymore everything can be learned online now.

What I particularly enjoy in your comment is that you make similarly broad assumptions, and appear to be laboring under the same delusion as you accuse teachers of being under. Yes, there are bad teachers out there, but more prevalent these days are poor parents who are extremely defensive of THEIR child's rights, but don't seem to care about the rights of anyone else in the school -- to education without disruption or violence -- nor are cognizant of mutual responsibility.

How do you keep this job longer than two weeks without choke slamming these parents and their kids? It appears the parents care less than the students. Jobs dealing with the public never pay enough.

1993 I hope you don't have children otherwise I feel sorry for their teachers.

I've volunteered in my daughter's classroom since she was in kindergarten and I also could not be paid enough to work there. Not because of the staff but because of the students and their parents who are like the one in this video. I feel so sorry for teachers who give so much (they make waaaay less than they should). Such dedication to their "kids" is impressive and rare.
