Jim! Is that you Jim! LOL!
Well handcuffs are better than having to put a boot on the little tricycle motors neck .... Guess schools don’t have the snowflake blue and pink calming colors anymore. Time to make a NERF HOLDING CELL at every school till both mommies or both daddy’s can come retrieve they’re little rabid honey badgers...
A young man at our church teaches second grade in a small town here in Texas. He has a student who throws chairs. I only had one student who did that when I taught sixth grade in 1973. David is severely mentally disturbed. Smart guy, but his brain isn’t quite right. I don’t know if he is autistic savant, or what. Very sad for him. But these kids do not belong in classroom with “normal” kids.
My folks always told me if I got into trouble at school, if I ever got paddled, I would get twice as much punishment at home, twice as bad as anything I got at school. Needless to say, I kept my nose clean!
While watching the protesters and rioters on the news, across the USA, I know my mom, who is a tiny 90 year old now, would march down here and “blister my bottom” and I wouldn’t be able to sit down for a year! Her fav threat.
Worked on me. 66 and still have clean nose. LOL
Like the HUG MACHINE designed by Temple Grandin. Might work here.
A hug machine, also known as a hug box, a squeeze machine, or a squeeze box, is a deep-pressure device designed to calm hypersensitive persons, usually individuals with autism spectrum disorders. The therapeutic, stress-relieving device was invented by Temple Grandin ...
Yeahbut...
...how would ya have felt had the boy been taken to the Principal’s Office for a stiff fanning of his disjointed bum?
When I was that age, my Principal — one deeply respected “Mister K” — had a paddle hung on his wall with holes drilled in it; for aerodynamics on the forward stroke, you understand.
What’s missing these days — both at home and at school — is the will and the tools to bring errant children stiffly to heel; and I could give a rotted fig for anybody’s leftardish wailing about how harsh that would be.
F’k it!
You either have disciplined children whose well-mannered behavior supports the classroom atmosphere, or you have beastly little hellions bent upon not only their own destruction but that of all their peers as well.
Take a firm hand, and command the respect the little hearts are capable of giving, or shrink back and be stampeded into an irrelevant sniveling paste — your pick.
When our kids were in elementary school in Lake Jackson Texas they had a Conflict Resolution Specialist. One time she was “escorting” a boy to the office. She was just about dragging him down the hall. The myth was that she could reason with a kid like that, and convince him to behave. Well when a kid is that violent, you can’t always reason with him. She was a large muscular woman and had no trouble dragging him to the office. You were not supposed to see this action, but I just happened to be in the hall and I saw it.
Well this child was trying to harm himself or others. No other techniques had worked. It may have been entirely appropriate
My Mom is 85 and calls at least once a week asking why I don’t call more.
She could shame me into voting democrat...
Back in my school when the boys were fighting or acting out it was handled by the coach.
Now, with inbred violent savages raised by single moms there is a generation of extremely violent children in schools. And no one is allowed to control them. So John Law has to step in.
Lots of stuff works in the movies that doesn't in real life.
Ever wonder why they don't show RoadRunner cartoons in physics class?
What ever device must be on hand before the incident. No time to purchase or borrow one after it begins
When it is not available then extreme measures are the only thing left to keep individual from hurting self or others
“When your teacher-wife can’t handle a 7 year old, it’s time for her to get out of teaching.”
It’s a bit irritating when a know-at-all exposes their total ignorance of a situation while simultaneously giving personal advice that was not only not asked for but is so far off the mark as to be, as they say, “not even wrong”. It’s worse than wrong.
As someone who has done work / consulting for public schools, I have learned first hand that children who have severe learning and life challenges are mainstreamed and integrated into public schools when they should not be.
I’ve done training for teachers, principals, police officers, and other educational administrators where I got to know some of the behind the scenes stories. For example, there was a 12-year-old boy whose drugged out parents were caught making sex videos of him with his own mom. These “parents” went to prison. The boy went to public school, and brought his very difficult problems with him.
But more to the point, it is not the job of teachers to “handle” the kids, as you put it. It is their job to teach. Anything more than basic discipline is in the realm of parenting.
FYI, conservatives do NOT believe it is the job of teachers to replace parents.
While I would recommend for parents who are able to, to remove their children from public school, we need conservative, Christian teachers to work in the public school system and help stem the tide of liberal, anti-Christian influences in the classroom.
Students who do not respond to simple corrective measures like reprimands, time outs, etc. need to be removed from the classroom so that other students can learn and more appropriate corrective measures can be made.
Uncle Miltie, I’m sure your wife’s efforts are appreciated by the more level-headed community of conservatives here.
What the F?
I mean I’m Uncle Dave and I have two nephews that are both under 7. I entertain them with poop jokes, and funny mouth noises.
Those things can’t possibly be kids.
(Still laugh my ass off every time I make the water drop sound by flicking my cheek......and they hear it and try to replicate it).
They haven’t figured it out yet.
I have no idea what’s wrong with these kids. My brother is a school psychologist that has had a pending disturbing issue in his high school.
Apparently, this young “girl” described to him the killing of kittens and putting them in tupperware in her closet.
She told all her friends about it, which is why she was referred.
Asked him about it the other day.....apparently now that she’s been medicated she says that there aren’t 30 dead kittens in tupperware in her closet and she did it all for attention.
Parents have some serious issues these days. It’s not the kids....it’s what YOU’ve done to them.
/sad
I was about 7 or 8 years old, and nearly strangled to death by the kid sitting behind me in class. The teacher had no idea what was going on for a minute. She was writing on the black board, talking. I feel this kids hands on my throat, squeezing. I gasped for air for a minute, stuck in my seat, getting dizzy, turning purple. I was almost “out”. The teacher finally turned around and was in shock, and screamed at the kid. I fell limp on the desk. So yes, a kid can do serious harm.
when mainstreaming includes mentally ill and mentally handicapped children who in previous more enlightened times would have been living in state homes and shot up with major medications to keep them from hurting themselves or others, drastic measures need to be used.
These children are dangerous. The fact that they are permitted to be mainstreamed shows the insanity of the left.
TO SIR WITH LOVE?
Mental illness, single digit IQs, severe autism with kids who EAT THEIR ARMS, scream for hours, and throw feces and urine isn’t going to be managed with TO SIR WITH LOVE!
Just involved in a lawsuit where a teacher sued her district due to getting bad assignments like in school suspension home room. Bunch of other teachers testified. Frickin’ cat fight, these teachers were so immature, fighting about having to monitor breakfast, what shift would have dessert left over for lunch, un fricking believeable. I said to her ‘work is work, not a barrel of monkeys, so what if you have to get there at 7:30 to monitor breakfast?” I said she would get no sympathy from lawyers who work all the time, 24-7 and make less than teachers who get off at 4, have breaks, “in service” days etc.
No one wants to actually teach the tough kids, they all want them to sit down and shut up. Get creative, teachers, do your jobs. Yes they can be challenging, no one promised you peaches and cream. It’s a job.
Anyway, the jury had no patience with it and awarded her nothing.
well it was the music teacher at my kid’s grade school who threw the chairs. And this was in a wealthy suburb. She was and entitled spoiled nut case.
