Maryland Teachers now expected to potty train since parents arent doing it

I guess they want to be 'inclusive' and dont want to penalize students since their parents suck.


WHY arent todays parents nationwide not potty training? dont they want to make things easier for themselves? Or they like changing a HUGE poopy diaper of a five year old?

Parenting literally is getting more ridiculously lame than ever. Why have kids if you do nothing to guide, lead, teach them? Imagine being a teacher and having to potty train a quarter of your class on school time? This is truly insanity.

How long before one of these stellar parents accuses a teacher of molesting their kid because they're trying to potty train them?

I skimmed the article and I believe they do give written consent. But, imagine that job every day for 25% of the class. It is just so ridiculous. People gotta realize that gentle child-led parenting just doesnt work. This was not an issue before with kids w/o medical issues. And, we wonder why 20-30somethings can't do adult things when the time comes, we just keep babying them for decades.

But once again, still not my problem. But CFs have the right idea bcz we at least admit we dont like the hassle of parenting and at least would strive for doing it normally or well. But not these parents, they just pop one out and literally do nothing, including potty training or have child sleep in their own bed. It is totally normal to have kids of all ages in the marital bed now, forever.

breeders are devolving...

Do they realize that no teaching will happen if one teacher is responsible for getting 30 kids to pee in a toilet every single day?

Given how bloody expensive diapers are, you'd think parents would be trying to toilet train their brats as soon as possible. Why have kids if they're not even going to provide them with basic care? How is it not neglect to understand a human being has to learn to use a toilet and then just not teach them how to do it? Schools already feed these fuckers breakfast and lunch, and in my area, will send kids home with backpacks full of food to last them the weekend. Are teachers just supposed to do everything for the parents? WTF are the parents doing if not parenting?

In twenty years, the kids of today are going to honestly be feral animals. Parents won't teach them shit and we'll probably see teenagers and young adults who are perfectly able-bodied and able-minded who don't know how to eat with utensils or wear proper clothing. They'll honestly have to be rounded up and rehabilitated like stray dogs so they can enter society and survive.

Yeah, 'parenting' has really morphed into doing absolutely nothing. Little did we know how much parents were gonna suck as decades went by, and we CFs thought they all sucked even in the 90s and 00s bcz we certainly bitched about it on boards like this one. But those parents raised shit adults and now we dont even have 'time out' parenting but gentle parenting which is doing nothing.
