Retired educator Lisa Roberson caused a stir with a bold letter to parents, criticizing modern public schools and blaming parents for their children’s failures. She argued that teachers aren’t the problem, but parents who fail to teach basic manners, respect, and responsibility. Roberson pointed out that students often lack supplies and disrupt class, while parents rarely engage with teachers or ensure their children are prepared.
She concluded that the real issue lies with parents, stating, “Teachers cannot do their jobs and the parents’ job. Until parents step up and do their job, nothing is going to get better!” Her message has resonated widely, emphasizing that a child’s success depends on both parents and teachers, with parents playing the crucial role of instilling discipline and responsibility at home.
