You can only swim into the lake trying to save drowning people who refuse to swim for so long, before you eventually say “screw if, if they refuse to at least try to swim, let them drown”. > > My mom is actually a teacher in a public school no where any of you would recognize. It’s a very rural area in WAY upstate NY. I can see her starting to become jaded in her final teaching years. She told me she only needs one or two good kids to keep her spirits up when teaching, but for the last couple years she hasn’t even had those in her classes of 25-28. And for the past 10 years she’s said the “parenting class” has been going downhill each and every year. She’s now dealing with the generation of “nothing is my fault” and it’s horrible. The parents are in yelling at the principal because it’s always someone else’s fault their kid is doing so poorly. I totally agree with you, but at the same time when you sign up to be a lifeguard you have to go in to save every idiot that dives into the deepend. There def. needs to be something done about parents influence in the school system. Teachers need to be able to talk honestly to students without fear, I agree with you that there is too much PC bullshit in our school system these days. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/public-education-system/13602)._
