Sean Gallup/Getty ImagesJulie Marburger a middle school teacher had a very frustrating day at school. Julie has already decided to leave teaching next year, but wanted to express what is really going on at school before she leaves. Her Facebook post starts like this:
I left work early today after an incident with a parent left me unable emotionally to continue for the day. I have already made the decision to leave teaching at the end of this year, and today, I don't know if I will make it even that long. Parents have become far too disrespectful, and their children are even worse. Administration always seems to err on the side of keeping the parent happy, which leaves me with no way to do the job I was hired to do...teach kids.
