I think many parents expreess outrage at the teachers rather than at their children's behaviour, because their child's poor behaviour is a reflection of their own failings. Lots of adults bitch about the frustration of having to deal with one or two kids, try dealing with 20 - 30 at a time.
Well, that 20-30 children are there only few hours and during the lessons they are not having free time so most of the kids understand what teacher wants from them. At home children are having more free time and that's more difficult, and it depends from the family. We have a family friends in Lviv, they have 8 children, durind the week I wasn't feeling that there are 8 children, everything is in peace, silence and politeness.
