    My little brother threw a chair at his preschool teacher. This is absolutely shit kids do, that they need to be taught is unacceptable. You don't teach kids to be better by writing them off as garbage humans, because they're still learning.

    If you call your five year old garbage for acting out, you're a shitty parent.

    You can call a kid being a garbage person a garbage person. Doesn't mean you won't help them and correct the behavior.

      Punch a teacher in the face, get a free banana. Sounds like a great deal for the kid. Maybe if he shoots his teacher he'll get a "calming Nintendo".

        This isn’t even that bad.

        The reason bullies get away with being bullies at school is cause their parents also tend to be bullies. So when the little shit gets in trouble for being a bully, his fat parents will waddle in and bully the stuff and faculty for daring to discipline their little skid mark.
        Faculty don’t wanna deal with this, so they let the little shits get away with everything and only punishing the kids who fight back

          Sounds like the school can't control the kids. More control needed. \s

                      Frustrating it may be, but the alternative like not teaching is far worse.

                      Bad parenting is expected, unfortunately. That I have read domestic violence has to do with truancy and antisocial behavior.

                            I feel like the teacher should be someone who not only possesses great knowledge and the capacity to guide, but also the ability to solo the entire classroom in a fight to make them submit and listen the fuck up.

                            No joke, our school hired an ex-boxer for the behavioral remidiation class.

                            He was also a really good teacher, and did a great job engaging with a lot of the kids, but he pretty much had physical violence off the table.

                              Yup, kids should never be coerced into doing anything they don't like. They know best.

                                    What gets me is the complete lack of respect, while also having standards that expect you to be a saint.

                                    Teaching title 1, after the district reorganized and combined schools with rival gangs - roster changing every day, buses showing up hours late, not being allowed to kick disruptive students out of the classroom, and having to withstand verbal abuse…

                                    They want you to be Jesus. Spend your own money on supplies, focus on “building a relationship” with the student who screamed “fucking f-ggot” in front of the principal at you…

                                    Friend was offered $80k to head up a new middle school Spanish esl dept, witb 2 other teachers. A month before school was to start, they set a date to finalize the contract. They'd never even interviewed for the 2 other teachers. They wanted her to see all 350+ kids 2x a week. And the salary had dropped to $21.6K, which is the state minimum wage of 15$ for 180 8hr days. This is in a super high COL town- the grocery store starts at $27 an hour, and $2k a month rent is a steal.

                                    She laughed at them an walked. Had a job for 38 an hour in a construction firm's office in 2 days (where Spanish fluency is a marketable skill dental a high esl labor force)

                                    The schools response was the admin in charge of her hiring trying to throw her under the bus. She wrote an OP ED to the paper calling my friend out by name (which was blacked out by the paper per their agreement- it was so bad the paper reached out and asked her permission to print it- she agreed, with her name redacted and a promise theyd print her rebuttal as op Ed the following week) they tried to blame her for backing out last minute leaving them in the lurch, and claiming it was her unwillingness to teach that was to blame for their lack of a proper esl dept despite almost 1/3 of the students being esl.

                                          The bait and switch is such a thing.

                                          I hated chemistry. My brain wants science that is as much as possible about doing pure math. I don’t want to be memorize exceptions to every little rule and naming conventions that also have exceptions. I wanted to teach physics, I interviewed for physics. I get the job, then I find out I’m teaching chemistry.

                                          They didn’t care that i wasn’t certified for chemistry, and that I scraped through that certification test (because I’m not going to teach anything I’m not certified to teach and took the test before the school year started) with knowing what a hydrogen bond was, much less anything covered in an organic chemistry class….

                                          I also had classes that were 2/3 special education, which mandated a coteacher. I met her in 3 weeks in and saw her once a month, because she needed to serve as a substitute teacher. I was not certified in SPED at the time, and the IEPs they gave me were a literal excel spreadsheet with the accommodations ticked off which is beyond illegal.

                                          The system is so beyond broken. No one seems to give a shit but there are parts of the country which are just failing.
