SFZ - I think you teach at a Catholic school?
I saw the same thing at my daughter’s Catholic grammar school.
Some of the parents should have been expelled.
when my daughter came home with a “it’s not faiiir!”, ‘cause she got caught and the others didn’t, I told her tough luck - she needs to pay attention to who she’s hanging out with and doing the “follow the leader” stuff, and if she messes up, she pays the penalty. End of it for me. Maybe it wasn’t fair - life isn’t fair. And that’s that.

There were some parents who would fight tooth and nail to keep their kids record “clean”.

Yes, I’m at a Catholic school. Some of our parents are off the charts.

Some are great, but we never meet them, because their kids get a 3.00 GPA, wear the uniform correctly, and go to their detention without complaining when they are late. They do not do drugs, get into fights, bully each other, or cut class to make out with their significant others. I’m not sure what these parents are doing. I keep watching them to figure out how they differ from the parents who are in the dean’s office, crying because their kid got caught, and life is unfair.
