"We know teachers are under a lot of pressure. Teacher shortages, growing
workloads as well as the demands of a complex job mean many teachers are
stressed.

But my research shows parents are not helping. In fact, they are making the
problem worse.

Teachers are increasingly copping abuse from parents and it’s undermining their
desire to stay in the profession."
