Hi all
Dear Ruthi,
I am surprised at you.
Don't you know that your job as a teacher never ends and therefore you
are responsible for every violent act that takes place in this country. Just like SOME (not all) parents feel free to call us at any time to 
inquire about their children (since your job never ends anyway) , they
automatically assume that they place their most precious possessions,
their kids, in our hands,  and that we must be grateful that they trust
us with their children. The whole language around teacher-parent
relationship is distorted. For some reason, many of them think that we
work for them.

Candy is right. There should be some official Union response to this ridiculous line of reasoning. If parents don't know where their 12 
year-old kids are at 2am in the morning that is nothing to do with the
teachers.As she pointed out, the parents don't educate their kids.
We are supposed to teach, discipline and give them moral , spiritual and emotional guidance as well. The parents give them only material stuff (the latest cellphone etc) but balk at buying books. Why is it that the general public doesn't know what every High school teacher thinks about this?
