NINE out of ten teachers fear stroppy parents more than pupils.
A website survey shows one in 20 have been attacked by mothers and fathers.
What's up with folk today? It's unbelievable how that has been allowed to happen.
We didn't tell our parents if we got smacked by a teacher in case we got another one. Even if we got shouted at we didn't tell because they'd have said we must have deserved it.
How things have changed -- and not for the better.
