I'm a professional educator of adults, my wife is in the child welfare system.

An educator with 15 or more children in a classroom cannot adapt to every child. It is the duty of the parents to send the children to school with the tools needed to learn and free from distractions.

When I teach an adult, if they're worried about their child all day, the adult won't learn what I'm teaching them. If a child comes to school with drama from home, the child won't learn.

Educators are educators, not psychologists, therapists or insert word here. They're role is to educate on subjects, not cater to the individual needs of a student.

In most cases, the parents are the problem, not the child or so called time wasters.
