“We've had students cause thousands of dollars in damage, steal and damage teachers’ property, sexually harassed teachers, threatened teachers and their fellow students in the form of a hit list, be under the influence of illegal drugs or vaping, and some being caught with illegal drugs, all which were given what I believe to be little punishment despite the county having zero tolerance policies with no accountability for behaviors,” Lauren Gray told the board.

Anyone wondering about the demographics of the middle school she use to teach at a the rate of single parent house holds
ReplyDeleteThis teacher lost track of what the school's priorities are: "will these kids vote for democrats".
ReplyDeleteTeachers like this should not be allowed in schools anyway, so good riddance.
School board cut her off for time, and dismissed her resignation by saying that vacancies are common over the summer. That's just some great admin right there. About like hospitals.
ReplyDeleteI last taught in 2017-18. I did not retire, I quit. My story sounds a lot like this teachers. Unruly students and NO administrative support. If you wanted a check, you had to be able to look the other way when discipline problems occurred. The school was majority white, but a good % probably had Native American ancestry (Oklahoma). I began teaching 2002. Back then, there were no cell phones and using a paddle as corporal punishment was widely used. When cell phones appeared, they took away the paddle and it all went to hell.
ReplyDeleteI hear and see ads all over the nation for cities, scrambling to hire school teachers it’s going to get worse
ReplyDeleteThey are looking for bi-lingual teachers due to the influx of illegals.

Hired a good guy, with a Masters in Special Ed, to perform technical inspections of airplane parts. He too was frustrated by lack of support from worthless, indifferent, overpaid School Administrators. He warned them that if was beat up one more time, he would quit. He quit two days later. He took about a 20K cut in pay but swore it was worth it. In his new job he went home happy every day, knowing what he was greatly appreciated and highly respected. Unlike his Teaching job, at the end of every shift he went home with a smile on his face, knowing what he did that day made a difference.
ReplyDeleteJust put them all in prison now...save a lot of criminal behavior in the future. They can do what the want in jail,...
ReplyDeleteThe process is simple. Ignore the violence until the education system is crippled from the lack of teachers. Declare it dead. Replace it with a system where attendance isn't required beyond grade school. That leaves a large segment of the populace open to easy indoctrination. The poor will be taught to read, write, and do basic math. Enough education to be usable workers, but not enough to realize their real situation. The wealthy and well connected will enjoy a private education for their children. They, and their children, will rule. Don't think this is a simple problem, it's complex and planned. For those thinking that 1776 part 2 is right around the corner, think again. Those who were leaders in 1776 were well educated. Guess who's well educated and leading today? It isn't the sock puppets in office. As is true in ll things, follow the money.
ReplyDelete^^^^^ yes
Delete"The poor will be taught to read, write, and do basic math." If possible, that would be a massive improvement. My wife retired last year from an inner city middle school (hispanic majority).
DeleteMy youngest daughter is a special ed teacher. She taught seven years in Title 1 schools to get her loans taken care of. That last year, with a class of eleven autistic first grade boys each with his own lawyer almost made her quit. Instead, she went over seas to a private school in Brussels where she learned to like Béarnaise sauce on her school lunch steaks. She tried the US again in Arlington, Virginia. The school has become untenable in the six years she's been there, just five miles from the Washington Monument. She starts a job in Copenhagen this August.
