Sad but true! I have a son that's a teacher and coach and a daughter that's a teacher. They tell me about how disrespectful a lot of these kids are now and I tell them work with them and be patient with them because their home life is more than likely not good and they need help, love and direction and you may be the only way they get that help and love!
