I've been having a hard year working in a progressive private school, students take too much power, like they are customers, teachers are providing services

it's the entitlement of this generation, especially among minority populations. :( will be exacerbated even more as consequences in this nation are brushed off, all in the name of progressivism.

You deserve the same respect they want. They are not in charge. They aren't qualified to be. Even if you don't "feel" it, emote respect. We literally teach them how to treat people, and the real world is not the internet.

Is the high school you work for religious or just a private school? I find that the students there are quite different in each of these cases. A lot of students do view if they are paying that the teachers owe them something unfortunately.

I’m divorced & have 2 boys, 6 & 4 yo. Last week I took the 6 yo for a pedicure and he chose blue nail polish, well aware that he didn’t have to choose any at all. FFW to this week. It’s a “boys weekend” (kids w/dad). Their grandad is also in town, since Wed. Dad has called to ask to have the boys in the evenings (i have W &Th, always). I have said “ok, but only if you don’t say anything negative about the polish.” So… they haven’t seen them. This hurts.
