    Kind of a crazy story. Teachers are being treated so poorly. People point to parents. And both teachers and students are victims when parents let their kids run wild. The kids never get held accountable, which sets them up for a huge amount of strife when they enter the adult world. They need to learn quickly that there are consequences to your actions.
