I had a student threaten to kill me over far less when I was teaching. He was livid I wouldn't give him special privilege because of the status of his mom in the community. Using the wrong color marker in front of gang members? With school administrations the way they are now, one would get zero support and end up dead in the gutter. Use the marker they tell you or get out of education. NO SUPPORT.
The system is morally and ethically corrupt. The system, by its very existence, is teaching all the children (who witness the outrages) moral and ethical lessons that will **hurt** them as they attempt to navigate their earthy lives. They are also being taught deadly spiritual lessons.
Teachers who agree to work in such a system are willingly agreeing to prop up a institution that is **hurting** children.
I don't respect that.
Either fix the schools immediately! It is evident, however, that it hasn't been fixed and can't be fixed. The teachers. then, should refuse to cooperate. They should quit. That is what other true professionals do. They don't agree to hurt children by assisting with malpractice.
Other Americans manage to find work that doesn't hurt children. Teachers could, too!
