[QUOTE="IlliniKat91, post: 1544478, member: 9133"] I wasn't asked about parenting, so I didn't touch on it. My well-funded public high school and Illinois education taught me to keep my argument on track to better prove my point. I disagree with your premise. My parents were educators and I spent many years talking to them about schools and changes. It's anecdotal evidence, but parenting hasn't changed all that radically. There have always been parents who blame teachers and the system and those who don't. I don't think your statement is a fair one to make, particularly if you haven't worked in education. I have worked in under-funded schools most of my career. It's a calling, honestly. I'd love to make more, but I'm happy with my students and their families. When I speak to my colleagues in wealthier schools, the entitlement that you speak of is mostly found there. I'm talking suburban, north shore type places in and around Chicago. Not the ones that are under-funded. The issue I've run into more often is that my students want to work to help their families. The work ethic is definitely there. I've never had a student blame the system the way you've implied here and I really find your argument disingenuous. [/QUOTE]
