With all due respect, I never called the teacher "stupid". I suffer NO delusions that my children are perfect. However, they aren't hellions either and I have worked hard to to teach them to respect adults, teachers (and everyone else for that matter -- of course, that whole respect for their brother thing hasn't gone so well yet but hope springs eternal!)
I guess I would prefer my child read quietly in class rather than being disruptive. Personally, I know my son -- when he is bored, he gets "creative" and disruptive.
And for what it is worth, I have a great deal of respect for my kids teachers. I have a special needs son who has a personal 1-on-1 and has had the same set of teachers for the last 3 years and they are like part of the family.
So please don't paint me with such a broad brush, thank you very much.
