A teacher is NOT an academic . Teachers can be really dumb though (smart ones do exist) . I worked with some in a summer program that helped them maintain their credentials.

Point finger like a gun??

NO, no, no. It’s a 2-finger “L”oser sign...just not on the forehead.

I would still be in prison today for Playing cowboys and Indians as a kid if the same rules applied then.

I don’t care if she DIDNT have downs...

Responsible ADULTS do NOT call the police when small children misbehave or appear to misbehave.

YOU are the grown up. YOu are there to TEACH the child..

SIT them down and explain to them what is proper and what is not. If you can’t do that, you need another career - away from children.

Teachers are rapidly becoming the incompetent, snowflake, low IQ demographic of the nation. Seriously stupid.

SOME teachers. My daughter has an IQ well above mine. She has a Masters degree in Early Childhood Education and is working on her Ph.D.
She has a wonderful job teaching at a private (non-union) school.
Raised in my home by me and my wife, she is no snowflake.
She knows how to handle a firearm and has a fully functional BS Detector installed.
And she's a marvelous photographer.
She's an amazing person. And she's only 27 years old.

Broad brushes don't always work well.

But I do agree...there are far too many teachers who represent the other end of the spectrum.

I bet the teacher is being treated like a real victim and hero, by the other teachers in the teacher’s lounge, as if she had an actual gun pulled on her.

Pathetic.

Yes you have the left pegged correctly. Leftist policy is to take any choice or decision away from the individual. In this case, a teacher or principal.
I have heard it said before that if we let them (the left) have their way, then if one person sh**s their pants we will all have to wear diapers.

These teachers were taught in school by Leftists, who were taught by Liberals, who were taught by Democrats. It’s a downward spiral of ideological idiocy. At this rate, the next generation may be incapable of thinking at all.

“HOW is this teacher qualified to educate a child with Downs Syndrome and not simply EDUCATE the child that what she did wasn’t nice and move on?”

Public schools are a common-sense free zone. They spend more time observing the rules and mandates passed down to them from on-high than they do exercising their common-sense. Who can blame them? The downside for not following federal & state guidelines concerning security threats (no matter how ridiculous) are a career-ender.

Oh...very snarky.

You also said "Teachers..." which is taken to mean all teachers. As in a group. Not a subset.

Besides, I was agreeing with your sentiment just not your generalization.

If that was my kid, I’ll point a finger at them (upright).
