Let's Send Kids AND Parents to Responsibility School

I have a great idea. Instead of throwing education money on positive programs and hiring numerous babysitters, let's build a school. A responsibility school. A school for kids AND parents. And, instead of paying paraprofessionals babysitter wages, let's pay them what they are worth.  And, who would go to this school, you ask?

That parent. You know the one. The ones who speaks in shades of blue. Their child is never wrong. Their child was making straight A's until they got you for a teacher. Their child hates school for the first time in their life. You pick on their child. You don't like their child. You have favorites. You really shouldn't be teaching.  You intimidate children. That parent that finds something wrong with everything. 

That child. The one who talks back, argues, and never does anything wrong.  The one who bites, scratches, kicks, and screams. The one who is an expert at throwing tantrums. Drama queen. Chief manipulator. Class disruptor.  The child that doesn't allow you to teach. The child that keeps everyone else from learning. 

I think these parents need to take responsibility for their children. After all, they created them. Children are not born throwing temper tantrums because they didn't get their way. They learn to do this so that they will get their way. They imitate the adults in their lives. They learn to manipulate their parents who either don't have the skills or the time to parent.  Let's put them in the same school and teach them together. 

Teach these parents how to be parents. Show them what happens when they don't take parenting seriously.  Let them see firsthand how difficult it is to teach a child who doesn't want to learn.  Let them accept responsibility for their child's test scores, attendance, and behavior.  Let these children discover that tantrums do not solve all of their problems. Manipulation doesn't work on everyone. Not everyone is moved by their tears and pleas. 

That's what we'll do. Build them a school. Give parents the same expectations that teachers have and give children the expectation to succeed.  What a difference that would make! And... I'll venture to guess that some attitudes towards teachers and schools will change. For the better.
