Teaching seems like a frustrating job
-
Teaching in a school has greatly changed over the past 3 decades. It's still a rewarding career, but not one I wanted to stick with - the pressure to work miracles is too high, and the support just isn't there to do so.
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…

This specific child was being neglected at home. He clearly felt that school was the only place he could exert control without being hit for it.
The solution is obvious

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".

It's almost like kids don't like being physically coerced into a prison for their whole day.
Yup, kids should never be coerced into doing anything they don't like. They know best.
-
the parent got told that his kid assaulted a teacher and this is the response, raving about some "calming bananas". Also not a word of apology.
Well, this is the public facing response

It's amazing that you complain about people not reading and responding to stuff in their head, then you turn around it do it yourself.
1: I quite clearly stated that this was inappropriate behavior that needs to be educated away. I don't know how you think my example is condoning the action. Children need to be taught to keep their hands to themselves, this is a normal part of child development. It is normal for children to have Big Emotions and not know how to use their words yet. Normal doesn't mean it shouldn't be addressed, it just means that every child has to have it addressed.
2: Have you not read the rest of the thread? Starting with the post calling the child a garbage person?
3: I never said anything to the contrary?
but I would never speak to my kid that way.
Then why are you defending it so hard?
1 - You say it's inappropriate right after saying 'this is shit kids do', you're still softballing your disapproval by acting like this is normal
2 - I don't read that as talking to the child, but venting about them to other adults, as I seen tons of times (with choice words, but still)
3 - probably more for the peanut gallery who can't comprehend non-violent punishments
Then why are you defending it so hard?
I'm not, I'm defending myself against people making up details in the situation and acting like I'm doing it to my kid.
But this conversation has more than ran it's course, so I'm done with this thread. Good day.

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.

Learn to shoot CEOs for a calming life! Nice!

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
its the parents who dont control their kid

Surely the designer put it up as a prank.
Hey that's not fair, this could have been taken in Europe

Thanks Super-Nintendo Chalmers

Can you point it out for a dumbass?

I'm surprised teachers haven't gone full ISIS post-covid.

Graphic designers do this crap all the time. I've got an aviation textbook with three meshed gears on the cover:

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.

Call in ICE and say the kid is an illegal Mexican

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.

thank you
