Holiday Concert

I went to the holiday concert that some of my students performed in today. It's amazing to see so many parents show up to that when the majority of them don't show up to the science fair night or any parent teacher conferences we try to set up. Then when you do call and get a hold of them (after 4-5 times) it's always our fault. I often get, "Well what was said to make him act that way?" This is why my students are the way they are. If their parents are accusatory, that's the way their child will be too. It's scary. No matter how hard I try, I can't compete with the way their parents are raising them, whether it be the right way or the wrong way. I can only do so much to get them to understand right from wrong.
