There's definitely something wrong...

Kids get so excited when there's a fight.  They almost expect it and feed off of it.  When did fights become so commonplace in schools?  Why do we accept/overlook the fact that middle school students are so entertained by physical violence?  Have they learned it in the media? In their neighborhood?  School should be the place where this doesn't happen.  Never happens.  What's the source of the violent behavior... and the audience for it!!!?

Kids with no respect for rules or adults.

Kids with no remorse for hurting other people's feelings.

Parents who make the child's situation (and our classroom) WORSE, by excusing and condoning their child's actions and behavior.... and then blaming teachers.

Elementary school teachers who pass students who can't read or write, and don't know how to act and behave like civilized human beings. 

Parents who aren't showing and teaching their children to act and behave like civilized human beings.

Parents and children who don't VALUE the education they've come to school to attain, or the people responsible for providing it.

Society expecting under-appreciated and underpaid teachers to solve all of the above problems between 8:30 and 3:30, 5 days a week.

HELP!!!!!!!!!
