shadowdame said:Nope I haven't, but I've raised a hyper child and would never have tied her up!
you'd be surprised!!LittleLady815 said:NOOOOO..... is that right!!!! LOL
I just can't believe that!!!!![]()

keiffers said:yeah my parents were none too pleased about that one - the teacher got away with it unfortunately and I couldn't shift to another class since she was the head of the 1st grade dept.....I heard years later she did the same thing with another kid when she was transferred to another school...atleast I wasn't the only one...
atleast now a days they have to answer for their actions and can't just tell a parent 'who are you going to believe, me or a 6yr old' when they talk to the parents....shadowdame said:It's sad that some teachers are like that. They don't realize how they can ruin a kid with stuff like that.
So.......

shadowdame said:True, I had no problems in that area. I didn't put up with any crap from my kids teachers.

I'm frustrated with the school that hides it's head in the sand and takes action when something really serious happens, I'm frustrated with parents who come in and say "it can't possibly be my child's fault" and I'm frustrated with teachers who don't try to find alternatives to deal with things. There are good ones and bad ones on every side. It isn't easy.
keiffers said:that's cause those parents suck at being a parent....they believe that their child acts the same way they do when they are around them and could never be like that away from their presence....ha! I don't even have kids and know that kids act that way only to appease their parents and then once they're gone...it's open season.....now I see why my dad raised me the strict way he did, atleast he did right with me....compared to my greedy brothers...I think I must have been adopted or something LOL

I think too many parents have just had kids to have them...that's not to say that they don't love their children, but most of just should never have them period! everyone believes that there are certain ways to raise a child and I respect a parents desire to raise them the way they did, but geez if I did some of the things kids today do when I was growing up, I probably wouldn't be alive today due to the a$$ beating I would have gotten...they're just getting way with way too muchMagicaPractica said:I understand the desire to defend your child but some parents do hide their head in the sand instead of trying to find out what really happened when their kid gets in trouble.

whenever we said something about someone else getting to do something, we always got the comments 'if your friends jumped off a cliff, would you follow them?"shadowdame said:The fact that they get away with the stuff they do is the fault of the parents. The parents think that because they did it it's ok for their kids to do so. I'm constantly hearing from my oldest about why she can't do something when her friends can. I always reply that it's because their parents don't give a damn or don't have time for them. I have always had time for my kids and always will. I also am realistic enough to know when they are at fault and not the teacher.

I think most parents are scared of their kids, but it's their own fault for letting that happen.....some people say discipline isn't right, but most parents today were disciplined when they were growing up, most alot worse than others yet because society has said you can't spank your kid for being bad, then they're afraid of being taken to court etc
yep - maybe their kids will learn....atleast you can hopeMagicaPractica said:In some cases, you are absolutely right about parents being afraid of their kids. In several different ways.

just takes one to ruin the fun....shadowdame said:Well let me tell you something. It's even harder when your kids turn around when they are young and tell you that they are going to call the police just because they don't like what you said to them or if you are trying to punish them with a timeout or something. The cops will still have to do something even if they realize the kid is lying. It seems that the kids are being allowed to rule the parents and all because there are parents out there that beat the crap out of their kids.
