Couldn't agree more. Problem is, you can't make a parent listen. And you sure can't make them parent.
The article says it is unclear whether the parents were consulted. It stands to reason they were, every step of the way. And they obviously failed. Many teachers last less than five years. But this one was in the system for 18. She was probably very good at what she did, and actually cared enough that a situation like this would hurt deeply. I feel bad for her, the other students in her class, and our schools in general.
The blame does lie with the parent. We are talking about young kids here. Everyone else in the class for 18 years was well enough behaved. The parents raised a monster. Don't even tell me there weren't warning signs of this: filthy language, violence, temper problems, etc. These kids parents just don't care - and others suffer because of it.
