Do you really blame her?

I’ll predict career burnout being the big deal in five years as 35-year old teachers just get a doctor’s note and go on some one-year sabbatical. Most are just baby-sitters now for immature kids.
Was she a member of the NEA?
If she is a good teacher, there are private schools and academies which will hire her.
There are options. if she was a government flunky only filling out her days till retirement, then you might have a little harder time finding different employment.
There should be video cameras inside EVERY classroom...............................
Interesting. Rockwall has been growing really fast with lots of money. Its not Dallas ISD which is really effed up.
For my wife and me, public schools are a 19th century paradigm that outlived its usefulness at the beginning of the 21st century.
Just as my office used to have secretaries, but now we all know MS Word, the internet has brought both dons of materials and full curriculum to homeschooling parents as well as incredible sites like khanacademy.com.
Of course, it can’t replace the main reason so many people want to keep public schools: Free daycare through age 18.
So, here we are...
Liberal “chickens coming home to roost?”
Leftist school boards and "progressive" public school "administrators" are the root cause of most of the problems in our schools.
My sympathies go out to her, NEA or not. No discipline and no desire to enforce rules by school administrators. Hope she finds a good spot in a charter or private school.
having said that, when I was a kid, you never ever disrespected the teacher nor the school...
it was drilled into us not to damage the desks, or waste paper, or walk on the gym floor with your regular shoes on....
if you managed to get yourself in trouble with the teacher, you knew darn well that your parents would take her side..
society has totally become unhinged..
It may take awhile, but I think “government schools” in the future will be used to warehouse incorrigible kids (as prep for their stay in prison) and also some special needs kids (hopefully well separated from the incorrigibles).
I think the vast majority of Americans all send their kids to private schools. If the kid causes trouble, he or she will be out on their ear and shopping for a new private school. Hopelessly bad kids will end up in government schools.
The public school system in the country is a lost cause. A lot of people may say, “Maybe where you live, but MY town has an excellent school system!” I would put forth the theory that your local school system is not anywhere near as good as you think it is.
Do you have a texas ping? anyone?
Why would you put yourself through this nonsense.
Let these stupid kids grow up to be homeless people.
It’s not worth your efforts ....... Leave now.
Time OUT!! Here in OK, we’re 6 days into a teacher walkout over pay and classroom funding with constant drumbeat of stories of teachers leaving OK for TX for better pay and classroom support. It’s a regular media feature in the news, both dead tree and electronic. What are we supposed to believe??? That the grass really isn’t greener on the other side of the Red River???
Only making $80,000 a year?
No sane conservative should ever teach in a government indoctrination center (i.e. public school.) You are not ALLOWED to do your job, which includes effective discipline in cooperation with competent parents.
