My wife is an elementary teacher. All too often she sees exactly the
OPPOSITE situation. The teacher attempts to exercise authority, but is not
backed up by the PARENTS, and the administration then caves to the
parents. I remember what it was like when *I* was a kid. If we got in
trouble in school, that was only the tip of the iceberg. When we got home
we would REALLY get it!

Yup.......

My parents always told me they were on the teacher's side...........and
they told the teachers in front of us that if there was ever a problem,
don't hesitate to call.

They were both public school educators too...........
