Good Question: Why Do Parents Defend Their Kids Instead of Schools?
I think tonight’s good question is an interesting one, and perhaps you have thoughts on it (E-mail them to me, I may use them on TV.)
Something happened with parents where they shifted from instinctively blaming their kids when they got in trouble, to instinctively defending their kids. Today, kids walked out of Eden Prairie High School to protest Facebook-related suspensions. Some kids told us, their parents supported them leaving school. Some parents are reportedly considering legal action because of the suspensions.
A study on teacher burnout blames parents for causing the stress, not students.
So what’s happening? We’ll talk to Tina Feigal, a parenting coach and former school board member, about the change. And as always, your input is invited. See you at ten!
