A teacher has slammed her 'disruptive' students and their 'rude' parents over their lack of respect for her 'poorly paid' profession in a Facebook rant that's gone viral.

Julie Marburger, 45, a mother-of-eight who works at Cedar Creek Intermediate School in Texas, said she had been pushed to quit her role as she feels as though she has 'no way to do the job I was hired to do... teach kids.'

Along with her status, which has had 322,000 likes and more than 400,000 shares, she posted images of her messy classroom, showing broken shelves, books and even an iPad, explaining that many of the items destroyed by the children were paid for out of her own pocket as she has no budget.

Julie Marburger, a teacher at a school in Texas, took to Facebook in a lengthy tirade, slamming students, parents and the state for their treatment

Julie, who is originally from Utah and teaches students aged between 11 and 12, revealed she had been pushed to the brink of quitting that day by a 'disrespectful' parent who shouted at her in her classroom for holding her son to account.

In the post, she wrote: 'I left work early today after an incident with a parent left me unable emotionally to continue for the day.

'I have already made the decision to leave teaching at the end of this year, and today, I don't know if I will make it even that long.

'Parents have become far too disrespectful, and their children are even worse.

'Administration always seems to err on the side of keeping the parent happy, which leaves me with no way to do the job I was hired to do... teach kids.'

Julie, who has four daughters, and four stepchildren, then shared a stream of classroom pictures taken over the past few days of her messy classroom, including broken shelves, broken books and even an iPad discarded on the floor.

'I have finally had enough of the disregard for personal and school property and am drawing a line in the sand on a myriad of behaviors that I am through tolerating,' she added.

Julie from Utah, who teaches sixth graders aged 11-12, revealed she had been pushed to the brink of quitting that day and had left early after a 'disrespectful' parent had left her unable to continue working

Julie cited her reasons in the honest post that garnered 322,000 likes and 400,000 shares in which she accused 'rude' parents of enabling their children

She then revealed that a parent had held her accountable for her son's behavior that day, and had shouted at her in front of the child.

Explaining that the report cards were due that week, she added that almost half of her pupils would fail as they had missed up to 10 of their assignments.

She then predicted from previous experience how she would be blamed for their failure by both parents and administration, and behavior would further deteriorate.

Expressing her frustration at the lack of respect for her profession, she continued: 'I have never heard of a profession where people put so much of their heart and soul into their job, taking time and resources from their home and family, and getting paid such an insultingly measly amount.

'Teachers are some of the most kind and giving people I have ever met, yet they get treated so disrespectfully from all sides.'

Pleading for 'common courtesy' and 'civil conversation', she added: 'Most parents can't stand to spend more than a couple hours a day with their kid, but we spend 8 with yours and 140 others just like him.'

Admitting that her long-standing dream of having her own classroom had now been shattered, she said that many teachers felt the same, adding: 'My heart is broken to have become so disillusioned in these short two years.

Julie posted photos of items that had been damaged by students in her class - including books

'There is going to be a teacher crisis in this country before too many more years has passed unless the abuse of teachers stops,' she warned.

Julie then urged parents to stop enabling their children, adding: 'It will not serve them towards a successful and happy life.'

And defending her choice to share her thoughts on social media, she concluded: 'I don't care anymore. Any passion for this work I once had has been wrung completely out of me. Maybe I can be the voice of reason. THIS HAS TO STOP.'

On the school's website, Cedar Creek Intermediate describes itself as an institution where its students' success is deemed 'a top priority', with parents asked to voice their 'input' whenever possible.

'I encourage you to be involved in your child's school year and communicate with us as needed,' Principal Krystal Gabriel wrote online.

Despite Julie's Facebook post, the website for the school, which had 958 students registered in Fall 2017 - 76 per cent of whom are Hispanic, and 75 per cent are from an economically disadvantaged background - insists that its attendees' behavior is closely monitored.

'[We] hold high expectations for students with regard to academic achievement and behavior,' the 'campus performance plan' explained, before highlighting its students' behavior as a 'key focus' for the 2017-2018 academic year.

After receiving an influx of support from social media users, with half a million shares and comments, Julie later took to Facebook again to add that she didn't want to forget the hard-working respectful students in her class.

'I would have pointed out that I have many amazing, hard-working, respectful students who show up every day and give their best and also many supportive, loving parents.

'For them I am thankful and hope I haven't offended. But my frustration was also in their behalf. Because the actions of some are hindering their educational experience,' she added.

Julie shared images from her messy classroom - and also blamed parents for 'enabling' their 'disrespectful' children

Pleading for 'common courtesy' and 'civil conversation', Julie - who shared photos from her classroom (above) added: 'Most parents can't stand to spend more than a couple hours a day with their kid, but we spend 8 with yours and 140 others just like him'

Urging society to take three simple steps to address problems with its youth, she suggested 'reforming the education system, holding children accountable and treating one another with manners and respect'.

Followers quickly flooded her post with supportive comments, with many teachers admitting they felt the same way.

Indeed, it seems that Julie did not always feel so frustrated with her working environment; in her biography on the Cedar Creek Intermediate School website, she spoke about her eagerness to start working at the location, having only recently moved there from a position in Dallas.

'I am new to CCIS and ELA this year!' she wrote, before explaining: 'I moved here from Dallas, where I taught Child Development and Parenting, so this is a new adventure for me!

'I am married and have four daughters and four step-kids. My "baby" is a fluffy Maltese named Tobie, who is a girl. I love camping, road trips, yoga, crafting, and spending time with my kids.

'I also love performing vocal music and listening to all kinds of music. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Family & Human Development from Utah State University.'

She concluded the introductory message with an enthusiastic sign-off, writing: 'I am excited to work with your child this year!'
