have parents always been like this or is it a new thing?

    I've noticed on Facebook lately that a lot of parents of kids in Barnsley secondary schools are ridiculously irresponsible and refuse to acknowledge that their little darlings have done anything wrong or that they are to blame for anything.

    Seen comments lately lime one parent calling a headteachers a 'silly cow' because she had told a student to wear the correct shoes for school and had dared to offer to buy them herself if the students family were having money problems.
    Another was a parent calling a teacher a 'useless fat bitch' because their poor chlamydia had been given detention for using her phone in class. Apparently the student needs that phone in case of an emergency where the parent needs to get in touch. Presumably the school doesn't have a telephone.

    Another parent says this 'school wants burning to the ground wi half of teachers in it'

    Another posts this bizarre entry... 'Hi that school getting worse they ave excusesed my son today 4 just putting in head on table in con room I think it stinks that school'. Apart from the shocking English it looks obvious to me that the kid was already in trouble and in isolation and even there just put his head on the table instead of working. Obviously the little angel did nothing wrong...

    god sake why does my child spend most ov her day up & down them stairs goin to different classes on different levels IS SAFTY NOT AN ISSUE.' Seriously? Just just hand your kid over to social services now please.

    How can we expect kids to turn out alright when their parents refuse to admit they have ever done anything wrong and are setting such a bad example? Its pathetic

    I do remember a parent removing her child from PE for 6 weeks because her little darling had her ears pierced, and removing the earings would make the holes heal up. School rules didn't allow jewellery, and taping them up would have looked silly.

    Discipline, respect and manners are instilled at home first and foremost but sadly this isn't the case with some parents, however I still think its the minority who fall into the 'blame the system' category.

    Yep, sounds pretty normal to me if you substitute the secondary for primary. I've been shouted at and called the most vile things for daring to suggest that their child had done much worse than the examples above.

    Talking of parenting/ kids and Facebook. There's this things that the kids (usually girls) do.
    They put a post up "Like for Looks" or "Like for Looks and a Line"

    Basically, if someone likes that status then the person who wrote it, rates the person who liked it, out of 10, for their looks. With Like for Looks and a Line, they rate the person, and say something like "I've known you since Primary School, your (not you're) gorgeous and sweet and popular. 9 /10

    It absolutely does my head in. The girls who do it, do it over and over, and basically it's an attention seeking thing to get people to compliment them in return.

    Yep. Very popular with the girls in my class apparently. Even though they shouldn't even have the thing at 8 years old!

    8?!! I was alarmed at the 13 year olds doing it.

    Facebook is a nightmare for girls with insecurities = all girls between 10 and 22!

    Yes, the girls are all about that and the boys are completely obsessed with GTA5. They try and slip a reference into every single piece of writing they do and today a child in year 2 wrote in his story that he was going to beat prostitutes up for money.

    It's the glowing reports that ALL the kids seem to get these days that baffles me - from what I've seen on the Facebooks almost every parent I have on there is raising a genius.

    Get it all the time, especially mobiles! Yesterday a girl said "my dad hates you!!!!" needless to say i've never even met her dad. This was as she disrupted an entire classes learning for 5 minutes.

    There is a lack of respect amongst a raft of society linked with an unrealistic level of perceived entitlement.

    I'd have got a severe rollocking/beating or both of mi dad

    That taught me a number of lessons:

    1. Dunt gerrin trouble in first place
    2. If yer did get detention mek an excuse up like playing house indoor bar billiards or summat after school
    3. Dunt beat yer kids
