It's your fault if you let poor students bring you down

Kids are a reflection of home. Turns out when you're a crappy, selfish parent, you tend to have crappy kids. If you let kids with crappy home lives bring you down, that's your fauly.<br><br>I come from an impoverished background. I know many teachers took a liking to me as poor kid because I was good and followed directions and gave them a reason to be optimistic. I always felt like I was a gem to them, a student who validated their career, a reason to not give up on kids like me, who otherwise come from crappy home situations.<br><br>I see that shit all the time. Every semester I have some teacher who likes me because my grammar is good, I participate, I answer questions, etc. Meanwhile they avoid the loud kids who curse and act out. The good news is that most of them will get over it eventually.<br><br><br><br>EDIT - I didn't mean to give the impression that I hold kids accountable for their crappy home situations. That's not true. My point is that it is the teachers fault if they let their job get them down. Its not the kids fault. Or the parents fault. It's your fault. It's your job to teach kids who haven't been taught manners, discipline, etc. at home. If you can't handle that, its your fault.<br><br>EDIT 2 - I definitely get where I went wrong now and how my OP was worded poorly. I apologize for the mistakes and any confusion or frustration that caused. Thank you everyone who left constructive comments.
