I left teaching after three years.

The kids were horrors at times but the parents were infinitely worse.

Interestingly, once you met the parents, you could usually understand why some children were little monsters.

I'm an experienced maths teacher of 12 years - yet a single influential parent was able to get me removed from a 3AB MAT class because they weren't happy with their son's marks.

My hubby is a teacher in a small country town, and its hard when everyone seeems to know everything that goes on in your life despite not knowing half the people.

Parents need to realise that teachers put up with their kids all day and after work, they have a life and are entitled to do as they please.
