This is EXACTLY what teaching is like in 2026. Reaching out to contact parents is always a stressful gamble with terrible odds.

Middle School Principal here: I think it’s two things: 1) It’s easiest to believe the lie, 2) Parents believe it’s a reflection on them - which is true sometimes, but kids are still people with free will.

I commend this mama for taking action! At least ONE child learned what accountability looks like from this.

💯 💯 💯 “My mind is made up—don’t confuse me with actual facts and evidence. My decisions and perspectives are completely driven by emotions, NEVER actual facts and evidence.”

As an elementary principal I had this same conversation with parents yesterday! It came from your child’s phone- how do you not believe it???

Yes, because a lot of these parents want to be friends with their kids and their parents

Parents can’t be Best Friends while raising their kids. When they are grown and you raised them right they will WANT to be your friend because they respect you making them a great adult.

Unbelievable, kudos to the first mom for being responsible. Second mother , I dont even know what to say. She's teaching her kid that she can do whatever she wants and there will be no consequences from her. Lord help us all!

As a former teacher I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard the “not MY kid” excuse. Reprehensible

If you don’t address the behavior, you’re setting them up to fail.
