No, it’s definitely not all on the school, but I believe the school should put some of the pressure on the parents. My school doesn’t use suspensions because it might inconvenience the parents and upset them. So, no matter what the student does, they are back at school the next day. Not all schools are like this, but too many are.
You’re right that a lot of the disrespect stems from the home environment.
herein lies the problem. are you simply babysitters for them then? How about the "inconvenience" that it is placing on you and other teachers? We need to think more about that also.
The number of times I’ve heard parents basically admit they use school as a form of babysitting is pretty unbelievable.
