Tough 💩. Teachers and their beloved unions have allowed this to happen. Teachers need to look in the mirror and recognize they caused the problem. It’s their decades of leftist indoctrination that has lead to several generations of out of control people that do no care about education. Simply put, teachers didn’t care about their own educations and they don’t care about those that they supposedly teach. Your actions have consequences. Karma’s a bitch.
“Teachers and their beloved unions have allowed this to happen.”
Huh? Can’t beat on the students, momma don’t believe their beautiful baby could ever be mean and unruly. That’s the problem. Plainly stated in the article. Send them home to learn via zoom.
My biggest complaint is that taxpayers pay for school buses yet the line of cars waiting to pick their kids up at the end of the day tells me my tax dollars are being wasted on school buses, either make the kids ride the buses or walk but pickups and drop offs in individual vehicles causes traffic congestion and requires extra staff to implement the loading and unloading of students whose mothers and fathers refuse to let them ride the bus.
As I noted in post #14, I taught for decades in an urban public school. And I will tell you that there are bad teachers (no surprise there). And the teachers union is corrupt (again, no surprise).
But teachers and the union have nothing to do with what is being taught in the schools. And also nothing to do with the rules of discipline. That’s all decided by the school board and state. Teacher and union input is neither asked for nor wanted.
Sure, there are woke teachers who go off the rails. But most of the woke junk that’s being taught in the schools today is being mandated by woke school boards.
Let me give you one example. Our school board decided that the minimum grade on every test must be 50%. Anything less would be too harmful! So now if a kid puts his name on a test then goes to sleep, he gets 50%.
We teachers were incensed by this. No matter. A 50% minimum is now the rule. And if a teacher enters less than 50% for a student’s score, the computer automatically changes it to 50%.
