A teacher’s perception of one event

I just need to vent...

It’s frustrating when parents are complaining about teachers because they don’t feel comfortable with the exposure to knowledge and other languages like in my case, dual-language Spanish Instruction. 

Last year one mom spent the whole school year complaining about my Spanish lessons, her daughter was terrified of me, because she felt anxiety and stress in my class while her brother and the rest of her peers enjoyed my classes. The mom accused me of... many things none of them good and with a disrespectful way telling many things why I should leave my job as a teacher. That was Prekindergarten.

Today I saw on social media that both of them are participating in the rodeo, riding wild animals. The mom is super proud of it, no complaints here! No possible danger of falling and other harmful risks are mentioned... 

That’s the saddest part of our amazing and enriching job we do for others.
The most comforting part, when those children see me at school the come to me to say hi and how much they miss me...

How much do some families value education?
Do they really appreciate the learning experience and the good formation as good citizens that they are acquiring?
 How much do they really care about them concerning values in education?  And other values like respect, gratitude, empathy, hard work and rewards?
How support do this kind of families give to their own children? And their future?

Forgive me if you feel offended while reading this, it wasn’t my intention. Just venting!
