the fucked up thing is in grades K-5 the teachers all refer to the students as "friends"
instead of saying "ok class I need you to pay attention" or "alright kids it's time for gym" they say "I need you all to listen, friends"
you're not
friendsyou're in a position of authority over them, you are the adult in charge
also if my kid had a male teacher and came home referring to him as his "friend?"
