It's not just in the US that there is abuse of teachers by principals and lack of support when it comes to dealing with parents. It is indeed a sorry state of affairs.<br /><br />Helena Harper, Author of "It's a Teacher's Life...!"<br />http://www.helenaharper.comHelena Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391901089362614607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574283050305486107.post-59673497193603900972010-03-18T06:21:20.066-07:002010-03-18T06:21:20.066-07:00Beverly, it does depend on where you teach.

(This is not the only incident of children vocalizing their wishes to kill teachers in this school). Even coming from a nine year old, it's unnerving.<br /><br />The administration wants it hushed up. The consequences for the child? Being taken out of my daughter's room for ONE DAY!<br /><br />This is why our society is heading in the direction it is. No real consequences for one's actions.<br /><br />What a sorry state of affairs.Karen Cioffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492421057039326702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574283050305486107.post-67948070671508634032010-03-17T06:35:29.880-07:002010-03-17T06:35:29.880-07:00This book sounds interesting.

Perhaps being a small school system is the difference. I have heard, however, that in the past few years our schools are not as good as they once were. Sad, I think.<br /><br />Wonderful review.<br /><br />Beverly<br />http://beverlystowemcclure.wordpress.comBeverly Stowe McClurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176195451841801819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574283050305486107.post-83809645337701252182010-03-17T03:39:20.443-07:002010-03-17T03:39:20.443-07:00Wonderful review, Karen!

When I was in college I wanted to teach, but then while I was doing my coordination program, what the teachers dealt with in regards to the parents was horrible.
