I am now dating a teacher and they face all sorts of bureaucratic crap from kids with Tourette's being used a messenger between classes to a young man with a state allowed modification of lesson plan that allows him to masturbate one per day in class.

Gee, and we got in trouble if we chewed gum.

The rules are rules have to be followed and the teachers get to follow 'em.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In class?

Are you serious?

Well,,,if the teachers in this school go to school every day and open the doors, then they are cooperating with, aiding and abetting, and harming the children in that school. A true professional would not agree to do this. They would REFUSE to practice their profession no matter how many fits the parents or principals threw.

NO! They do NOT have to follow 'em!

Are police holding guns to the heads of these teachers as they open the doors to their classrooms each day? I don't think so. If they were true professionals they would refuse to cooperate, or they would quit!

I've been a teacher for 16 years, but only the last 7 years in public schools. This article is filled with so much irony that it is difficult to read with a straight face. The only way the public education system in this country is going to change is if the business community pushes the change. We know that won't happen as long as they can bring in highly educated people from overseas who will do the jobs that Americans weren't educated to perform.

Yes, there are some teachers who deserve scorn. However, there is plenty of blame to share with parents and administrators as well. Until the system changes though, we're all just actors in it.

I don't believe it. There is no kid that is allowed to masturbate in class.

I have students who need hearings aids and glasses but refuse to wear them. I am encouraged to accommodate them. Teaching is very difficult and it does indeed take a few years to get the hang of classroom management and teaching focused on the ever-shifting requirements set down from on high here in California. I hope I don't have to do it for much longer.
