Subject: Re: Teacher gets in trouble for blog by Ultraman on 2011/2/17 14:45:02 My wife is a teacher and she says that teaching is not like any other job. For the most part she agrees with the ranting teachers analysis but her take is kids will go to the path of least resistance because they are immature. They can't help it, they are kids. The problem lies with society overall. She blames the parents or lack of parents who will discipline kids at home not expect the school to raise their kids and then bitch when the kid gets in trouble. My wife is almost daily lugging some kindergartner down the hall kicking and screaming, headed to the principle office. I think I told you about the one that would yell, "you cold bitch, you cold bitch! As he was carted down the hall. Nice! And these are the little kids. She now calls Mike the janitor and he hauls them off for her. Probably not in his job discription. What you don't hear about are the kids who are doing it right. The ones that behave and listen and want to learn. The bad ones get too much attention and the good ones sometimes go unnoticed. Back to the teachers rant. I don't think that is something she should get fired about. Although here my wife goes to meetings put on by the school where lawyers will tell them be very careful what you put on the internet it can and will come back to haunt you. Rant all you want at home or even with close friends at the bar but don't go with it on the net. If she has problems she needed to go to the school and point out the trouble makers and get the admin involved and then work harder with the ones that want to learn. I can remember bad kids in school, but I can also remember the principle taking a paddle made by the shop teacher and pounding on their butt and then they knew they were going to get it again when they got home. What happened to those days? |
