homeschool
You pick up her exam, tell her she’s failed and wait for the parents to sue. That’s the way it’s done.
Sorry, I would have shoved her head through the locker door. But that’s just me. ;-)
One of my best friends taught for maybe ten years before taking a better job.
He once told me how he came within a nanosecond of punching a student. After hearing the story, I completely understood but of course he would have been fired.
Why public schools are useless. Just a breeding ground for everything other than education.
‘You don’t expect nobody to fight her like that,’ she said.
No more calls please.
We have heard from the grandmother.
As I high school teacher, I take every incident like that, do everything dispassionately and by the book, and let the student make a fool of themselves.
I saw better behavior at the zoo last week.
Fighting Amish at Baltimore Central HS?
"How dare you stop me from cheating!?!?!"
Since corporal punishment is against the law, this teacher is in big trouble, regardless of the circumstances.
I wish it weren’t so, but, the teacher is in huge legal trouble. It won’t matter what the circumstances are.
I worry about this myself. I’m one of the nice teachers, but some of these kids can make you SO mad. It’s not even how they treat me, it’s how they treat the other kids. I just get livid.
I didn’t see a white person to blame in that video, so it’s all good. Maybe the school system can be sued.
No worries. All supported by local 170.
The students will learn to fight for social justice, perhaps even become community organizers.
In my time, teachers at Carver, Douglas and Dunbar H.Schools took their lives into their hands. I think that it is about time that a teacher fought back. Will earn them some badly needed respect.
After a City-Douglas or City-Dunbar football game, we City students left double-time from the stadium to avoid being picked off by D/D fans. It was not a pleasant feeling to know that you were being hunted.
I remember a similar incident in our school 50 years ago. Some students believe it is their purpose in life to drive teachers over the edge.
Male teacher, male student. The teacher was asked to resign or get fired.
While I am in favor of arming SOME teachers I worry about such things as this.
I also saw an elderly woman teacher take on a large male student for him being a jerk in class.
If you care too much you are going to lose your temper in these “urban” schools. Just do what you can, go home on time, enjoy your vacations and pension. The system is broken and there is nothing you as a teacher can do about it.
If a student refuses to put away their cell phone there is nothing you can do. Admin will send them back, their parents don’t care, and if you grab it from them you open up the chance of a physical altercation. You can knock off their test grade, maybe, unless behavior grading is banned at the school.
When it’s a black kid pounding on a white guy, that’s “just a whoop ass”.
Would have both female student AND male student who intervened caned. Would warn parents to shut up and not say another word or would have them caned too if they came out saying anymore about it. Not negotiable.
