Teachers Aren't Babysitters

This has been on my mind for a while. I had so many feelings if I should place my opinion on this or not. I still have those feelings ,but then again I'm like why not say it. Here goes nothing. I feel like parents needs to stop treating teachers like they are baby sitters ( That's also including the supporting teams as well .) I am going to explain because it's very vital for it to not be miscrewed in talking about this touchy subject. Here are my facts about it.

As I had became part of the supporting team to help Teachers I had been noticing that alot. I hate where parents find every excuse not to care for their kids. I get that we are human ,but why have kids if you don't want to take care of them and also make sure they are good? I mean like mentally okay to phsyically okay. I come in all the time and there's so many things going on with their child especially where they going to each grade and still don't know how to read and when we teach them it's out the window everytime. It's very hard when it's not sticking inside the home. I mean there should be where someone is teaching them without getting fustrated. I rather have them learn from ya'll too and turn into a incompetent President ( currently we have one if you don't know ) . I mean we are the system to make sure they are educated ,but inside your home is always comes first too. Not just us doubling our work because it saddens me so much where they are struggling and you aren't where you are with them in making sure during the summer that they are good and making sure they got it right then and there. I wish many would get that you are the leader first in their education before the teachers. We just add onto it to make sure your child got it and is advacing .

Second thing is don't just have to tell them that they are better than their environment because it needs to also come from you too aka you are the first teacher. You have to tell them that just because their environment looks like there isn't hope that it is hope and there is a way out for them to succeed. I mean do better than what your parents did to you and let them know there's a way. I believe other than us reminding them each day especially when they talking back to us sideways that there is a way out. They can learn so many things of making it out of where they come from and can achieve being anything other than what this society has placed them that they suppose to be this or that ( I mean the things that will lead to destruction and the ongoing destruction around them ). I also think if you are being the bully and thinking you have to be their first one ...you need to grow up. I mean look within yourself and get some therapy and find your inner peace and stop affecting your child about it. It pisses me and my homegirls of you doing that .

Lastly , while you're getting stuff for you to feel good ..get stuff for them to cover up properly out here too. I cannot stand how ya'll got new stuff on ,but your kids are where they have nothing and to be honest if your pride is that hurt in asking for help, then why the hell are you having kids? I mean asking for help isn't terrible . Finding places that got clothes and shoes for them isn't bad either. I mean I wish ya'll would ask admin in your schools as well and all around and just ask. Someone will give you help and an answer. Please stop thinking somebody gonna talk about you . I mean my God half that stuff came from the same places ya'll get stuff from. I mean let's think please.

In summary, I just wanted to make it clear that we aren't there to babysit your kids nor just teach them all what you should do as a parent. You teach them the good and how to speak to people as well. It's called teamwork. If you're also just there to be destrcutive you need to look upon yourself and ask yourself why you're doing that and go fix it . If your kids ask why you changed, just say it's for the better so they know there is hope cause it's you that make the change in the environment . You have to other than just us doing that. I hope this helps! Happy 2026!
