[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 91058, member: 983"] In my opinion there is a line between being tough, fair, and reasonable to a child versus being mean and demeaning. I've spent time in the profession and it's probably the most challenging job I've ever done. Kids are much different than what we were and can't be challenged the way we were in school. They want to be cute, funny, smart asses and do whatever THEY want to do. They've been raised in a ME based society. Accountability and responsibility isn't a huge priority to these students. And, the school should be the reinforcement of these concepts rather than the teacher. Many parents today don't teach these huge skills to their children and expect the school to do it for them. Education faces a huge challenge between the way students think and how parents are preparing our students. No matter what, a teacher has to be fair and challenging while still developing relationships with students. Anyone who thinks that is easy needs to step into the classroom for a few days. [/QUOTE]
