what a great story!

I'm a teacher and I see the disrespect daily!

Today one of the other teachers gave an assignment for her class to do a "how to" paper. One of the girls in her class pipped in "How to give a BJ". She was asked to leave the room and went to the office to speak with the principal. The teacher called the girls GRANDFATHER not her parent (parents wouldn't do anything) and the grandfather was shocked that she would say such a thing. The same girl is disruptive in my algebra class because there are NO consequences from mom/dad. I could go on and on about kids....

I have a 7th grader who refuses to be quiet while I'm teaching science- I told him that I would invite his father in to join us and he didn't seem too concerned. I've met this father many times and explained that his student is a BULLY, and DISRUPTIVE in my classroom. NOTHING is done! I issued the kid a referral and it came back the next day FORGED. Called dad- NOTHING was done. Hmmmm...I would love to blister this kids butt for him but I'm not allowed. All I can do is kick him out of class so the others can learn and write him disciplinary referrals that probably don't matter at all at home. And we wonder why kids aren't learning- get rid of the kids who don't want to pay attention and then teachers can teach rather than babysit! Sorry- It's a subject that I feel really strongly about!

I see nothing wrong with a smack on the butt if a kid is being naughty and disrespectful. My parents firmly believed in this as well as time outs and natural consequences. As far as I can see kids have too much power and are running families. And I'm only 33!!!!!

do I have to get shots to go there? 8o)
