I really wonder about parenting these days... or lack thereof.

My mother never assumed any of my teachers had it in for me. If I got in trouble (and I DID!) she always took the teacher's side. And if I had written any of those words or said any of those words in a teacher's hearing... I would have been in so much trouble.

But I guess the parents use those words in front of their children now, so they think it's okay.

My mom was the same way. Gosh, if I ever wrote anything close to those words I would be in far more trouble at home then at school. I have heard many young parents using that type of language and do not seem to care how it filters down to their kids. I do not know how you do it...I be frustrated most of the time I am sure. Granted, I do not have any children so I can not speak from experience but from my observations it seems like kids just don't have the respect that they used to have when I was growing up. Hang in there V they need great people like you in their lives.
