In my school, I've noticed that a lot of the PTA parents are the parents of the 'rich popular kids,' and they often end up tipping a lot of odds in their kids' favor, such as letting their kid switch classes, change lunches, and get good grades even if they didn't do that well in school. It was awful.
There is definitely a contingent of 'party' moms and dads. Parents who still party like they're in undergrad and document it all on social media. I mean, they all have kids, but where are those kids when their parents are hosting Beer Olympics? Grow up. Parents, you are setting a poor example.
The newest group of parents I'm seeing are is 'we don't parent' parents. Their kids are not to be disciplined or corrected. Anything they do is deemed okay, regardless of how ridiculous.
I've learned to manage it by being very hands-on and communicative from the beginning with parents about grades and behavior in the classroom, good and bad.
