Angry parents sending death threats on social media to their children's teachers, shock survey reveals

The New York Daily News reports:

Parents are sending death threats to their children's teachers on social media, a shock new survey has revealed.

Three out of four teachers in in the U.K. have said parents’ behavior toward them has become more obnoxious in the last five years.

The poll of 796 teachers in England and Wales also revealed that the parents of younger pupils tend to be more verbally aggressive to teachers.

And teachers have been subjected to nasty comments about their appearance, weight and sexuality — as well as having their teaching ability called into question.

Teachers said parents’ use of social media was making the problem worse, with one teacher in Cumbria, England, saying she received late-night threats.

Anger.
