>>>The Discipline Disaster . The decline in discipline is a tremendous problem. With the disintegration of the family unit, children already have their backs against the wall. The majority of them lack the guidance of a father and mother to give them discipline and direction. The school superintendents choose to ignore this grievous problem. Administrators like to pass the buck onto the teaching staff. Many of these administrators do not have the respect of the students. Because of this situation, teaching staffs are totally frustrated and demoralized. The student’s attitude is: “Since there is no accountability why should we bother to do right?”
Ain’t it the truth. I had a student threaten me in my classroom and MY ADMINISTRATORS argued against expulsion in the kids hearing.
I had a kid who was flunking draw a penis on my window with one of those paint sticks that you write on cars with and the kid was not EVEN suspended. It has yet to be cleaned off!
Instead, the administrators come to me and ask, “Why aren’t you more relaxed?” Because you don’t do your job. 90% of the students actually LIKE my class, but I can’t teach if the 10% of the troublemakers have no consequences.
I have never understood how anyone in society would want their kids to fail at school. You would think someone that is poor would want their kids to learn more than any other group?
Why would they allow the education system to turn them (the kids)into a liability for all, when they could be beneficial to the parents later in life?
If you search the web you may find a documentary called THE LOTTERY...its about poor parents trying to get their kids into a charter school, and out of the public one...It will both break your heart, and infuriate you. The smugness of the teachers and their supporters is disgusting. Our friends from ACORN even make a appearance.
