Q, Reader's Comment 9 of 65, Teachers flip parents the bird, Yasmine Phillips, Education Reporter, PerthNow, 13 November 2011: http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/teachers-flip-parents-the-bird/story-e6frg13u-1226193897374 Historical link preserved from the original page.
A one school town can become a living h-ll to teachers.
How do you expel disruptive students or not run into a parent who makes a complaint against you in a one horse town like Kalbarri?
I bet the Education Dept will have trouble transferring anybody with a brain to replace teachers who leave.
No wonder there is a stampede to teach in private schools where the balance between the rights of teachers, pupils and parents is a bit more balanced.

Some parents treat teachers in country towns like absolute scum to be verbally abused and harassed.
It's really odd.
We're talking about people at the very bottom of the food chain here.
Then they complain why there are so few Aussie teachers as their school is filled with teachers from other countries.
Police are treated the same.
And we wonder why their kids are bloody awful, selfish human beings.
