Brevard County School District, held a heated meeting Thursday that offered an unvarnished and often disturbing glimpse into the state of its classrooms.
“On an everyday basis I am being attacked, scratched, headbutted, pushed, hit,” teacher Alicia Kelderhouse said. “I’ve had my hair pulled. I’ve had my throat gone for on multiple occasions.”
One teacher said her kids look at their devices “hundreds” of times each day and keep their earbuds in while lessons are in progress.
“Our students cannot look away from their phones,” she said. “They cannot stop texting.”
Ivey said classrooms have descended into chaos because kids no longer fear consequences.
“As a result, we are losing teachers en masse,” he said, calling disruptive students “clowns” who are impeding the education of their classmates.
Several speakers criticized Ivey at Thursday’s meeting, and highlighted that suspensions are in disproportionately high numbers to black students.
“Our children are not clowns,” said a local NAACP member. “They are not snot-nosed.” He accused Ivey of using “scare tactics” and “bullying” in pushing for disciplinary clampdowns.
Another speaker said the district should emphasize diversity, equity and inclusion in any new behavior code.
One parent argued that disruptive students — regardless of race — should be removed from classrooms.
“If you are throwing a chair in a classroom, you do not belong there,” she said. “I’m sorry. If you can’t behave, that’s not my child’s fault. My child’s education should not be hindered because that child doesn’t know how to behave. And by that child I don’t mean black, white, Hispanic or any other thing. I mean the child who wasn’t taught how to behave.”

Commonsense is racist apparently.
Exactly.
thank you for what your experience was
“If I had to sit in all these wokism classes with wokism teachers, I would have buds in my ears too.”
It is a violation of school policy. In a civilized society, a person does not get to decide which laws to honor. Any student that consistently violates school policy has a weak father. When I was in school, my dad did not grant me the option of choosing behavior in class.
“I acknowledged there are good teachers but these days they are few.”
Are few? You are so generous. However, that would be impossible for you to know.
“Good teachers still attract good students without buds in their ears.”
Don’t know exactly how to begin to respond to such stupidity. Have you ever read the Bible any at all? The Lord in the Old Testament was not a good teacher? Jesus in the New Testament was not a good teacher?
“The assumption in the article is that the teachers are ok.”
The assumption in the article is that the teachers are beleaguered by feral, rebellious students. The teachers don’t have the opportunity to teach and their lives are in danger.

Basically, urban public school districts have banned consequence for student behavior. This is the result.
