I promised myself that this blog would be a place for me to write - and tonight I'm a bit sad & unsure how to handle a situation. Being a primary president is hard... a couple who has been consistent & really tried to teach our most difficult class reached their breaking point on Sunday. A couple of visitors who were also completely out of control didn't help. So - a couple of parents sat in the hallway & overheard bits & pieces of the class & jumped to all sorts of conclusions about how these teachers were saying things to this class that were completely inappropriate. Why they didn't stick their heads in & offer to help I'll never know or understand. But as I just got off the phone with one of the teachers who didn't even know if it was worth coming back to church if people thought so poorly of them. Both of their grown sons have gone inactive through offensive remarks. While I hope that they wouldn't let others have this much influence on them I also see that they sit & wonder who else has talked about them & complained about them. How many others have these parents complained to? And I sit here & wonder if these young parents have any idea what they've done by they're thoughtless remarks & going behind the teachers backs to complain to the bishop. I sit here & understand the frustration of the teachers - these kids have no respect for the teachers or for others & apparently their parents don't care if they act the way they do. Whiny & difficult & completely disrespectful. Tonight my heart is sad...
