I thought it was just my school until I joined this sub

I’ve been teaching for 20 years and I find it really weird that no matter where you teach in the country, kids are all doing the same things. <br><br>This year I had to message parents and say “Your kid did [insert thing here], how do you want me to handle it?” <br><br>The parents always say “I don’t know, that’s not my kid. Just do what you need to do.”<br><br>I don’t know what to do. I think I’ve just run out of patience and don’t have any answers.<br><br>If kids are misbehaving at school, they’re doing the same thing at home, right?<br><br>Just curious.<br><br><br>Edit: I appreciate everyone’s feedback and I’m reading through it all. I’ve been teaching 20 years, so I’ve tried a lot of things in the classroom. I’m open to trying new things, especially things you tried that didn’t work. <br><br>I’m more curious about parenting styles and what people are experiencing in their communities.
