you got to take yourself out of the situation and act like an adult.”

It is my prediction that with the full weight of Common Core, public school employees- called “teachers” are not going to feel comfortable in their own communities.
I don’t think secret service protection comes with the job, but I predict that they are going to want that.
Teachers being targets is one of the reasons I am against Common Core.
I think we are going to see more of these stories. It is not good for “education”.
I am glad I homeschool.
It's a blog.
Scary thing to ever live in a society where some kid can accuse you of anything, and some dipsh*t “parent” will take you down based on that alone.
Veritable moms? As opposed to the fake ones?
re: “Mama punched the government enforcer. . .”
That’s what YOU call this child’s kindergarten teacher? A “government enforcer”?
I don’t know if this teacher deserved what she got, but your term for this teacher is meant to be de-humanizing.
I know there are hard feelings among many freepers here regarding public schools and public school teachers.
Public schools are built by your state and teachers are hired by your local school districts. School district trustees are voted on by you (at least they are in my state). Public school teachers are NOT federal employees - and, yes, I know the Dept of Education farms out millions and millions of tax dollars for programs that states may or may not participate in, but usually teacher pay is not from the federal government, but from the individual states the schools are located in.
My point is, local public school teachers work for you, the taxpayer. I respect and admire homeschool parents - you are doing a terrific job. My wife homeschooled some of our kids for awhile, too.
I don’t like federal government intrusion into our lives or when the federal government bullies the states into doing what they want either.
I think we also, as parents or citizens in the local community need to raise holy h**l with local schools when they or individuals within the public schools do stupid outrageous things. I would do the same thing with a private school where my kids attended as well.
Having said all that - NOT ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS OR PUBLIC SCHOOL PRINCIPALS ARE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE “GOVERNMENT” AUTOMOTRONS! They are people with feelings as well. Most teach because they love working with kids and WANT to do a good job. Don’t equate teachers unions agendas with all teachers.
I know this is probably just going to get me flamed, but I don’t give a rip. Dehumanizing people whether they are police, fire fighters, national guard, or school teachers ARE NOT SIMPLY “GOVERNMENT ENFORCERS” - for God’s sake try to see past the labels to the person.
Whole lot of very worthless teachers deserve serious ass whoopins by parents imho

Keepin’ it real ?
If I came home from school with a missing arm my Mom would have taken the side of the teacher and spanked me in addition.
No white mom is going to assault a black teacher in this environment.
Similarly, no black mom is going to assault a black teacher, because she has no way of knowing if the black teacher has a thug boyfriend who would go find her.
Only white female teachers are safe to assault like that.
On the one hand, I remember when I was a kid. If I did something stupid, the teacher would discipline me, and when my parents found out what I did wrong, they would side with the teacher and discipline me a second time.
These days, the teachers aren't trusted with discipline, and for good reason for the most part. Teachers are now, mostly, mush-minded socialist who do not have the kid's best interest in mind, but the best interest of "society" (read: socialist sheep-dom).
But in the rare case where there is a teacher who does have the kid's best interest in mind, and the kid does something stupid that should be corrected, the teacher will be vilified by the parents, the press, and the other teachers if he tries to correct the bad behavior.
I am really conflicted on this one.
Seriously.
Baker’s next move was to run swiftly out of the classroom and out of the school building On the way to the classroom, Baker ran right by the school principal, whom she had called just moments earlier as she was heading to the school
Didn't we learn anything from Newtown?
