Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire My year of terror and abuse teaching at a NYC high school

Big thumbs up here. This is the result of decades of reverse discrimination, social engineering, pass 'em at all cost policies.

This absolutely says it all. When we quit taking the democrats way out by blaming ourselves, and start blaming the hood rats, maybe we can come up with a solution. ( Which will be politically incorrect and hence unpopular)
The 'people' do not need more entitlements thrown at them, they need their asses kicked.....

The inmates are running the asylums. Liberal doctrine has removed discipline and personal responsibility from students and parents. PC run amok has helped create this condition.

The problem is the net that exists. Oh, so you're 16, pregnant an can't afford the kid, no problem, government will help you. Oh, got another kid, we'll give you more.

[bleep] that, if you can't afford it, parish. I don't care if the landfill is rolled over with the dead of the poor that can't figure out if you can't afford it, don't do it.

Wait!! I thought it was teachers unions to blame. When did the tide shift?

I pine for the days when my shop teacher could stick a cattle prod on the ear ear of a sleeping student and the kid jumping awake wearing the desk around his waist.

I just took a minute to read the rest of the story at the link. There's some funny schidt.

If Ob*ma had a sista.....

When these 'students' reach eighteen years of age their votes will count the same as yours and mine. Isn't that great?

Our Director of Schools and School Board has adopted a program called PBS or Positive Behavior Support.

We give our students which are 7th and 8th graders paper money for acting and behaving in a positive way. We have PBS breaks so the kids can spend their PBS money buying popcorn, "healthy" slushies and small things like pencils and erasers etc.

Also administration is handcuffed because they can only suspend so many students or it reflects negatively on their evaluation. Basically all teachers and administrators are evaluated on office referrals and students placed in ISS or OSS.

We are rewarding kids for acting like they are suppose to act, even the bus drivers give out "Bus Bucks" for kids behaving on the bus. This is what is wrong with education.

Kids need to learn there are consequences for their actions and we are failing in a big way!

When I was teaching there were articles in the literature suggesting the use of red pens/pencils while marking papers should be avoided. You know, damage to students' self esteem and all that rot.

....and people think these kids are stupid.....

This is where Citizens For Responsible Tazer Use in the Classroom come in.

When kids are that far gone, I guarantee within 30 seconds of tazing the troublemakers, you will have compliance from them and the rest.

We're wasting our time and money with feel good programs that won't work. I would say society is "self-destructing" but it's not, it's our responsibility to make the hard stand against this type of behavior wherever it is found. We don't so this continues.

Am I serious about tazing them? Yes. It would work, and that's what we need. Results. Not talk.

I would volunteer for a squad that goes door-to-door slapping parents.

I long for the days when lipping off to a teacher would net two ass whippings.

I understand the concept of Positive Parenting etc. The problem is that programs that start in middle school are too late. The ship has sailed.

What is pictured here is exactly what is going on at schools of all sizes and localities. The degree of disrespect and irresponsibiliy will vary, but in all cases, it is "what is wrong with our schools". There is no magic program (contrary to what the companies selling them might try to say) or magic teaching method (again, contrary to what those making money by providing "in-circus" programs and their ilk) that is going to make one whit of difference. What is needed is for students to fear (yes, fear) the consequences of misbehavior, inattention, and failure to complete (to the best of their ability) assigned work. They need to learn that they need to shape themselves to fit "the mold" as best they can rather than expecting a personal mold to be made especially for them.

Testify brother!

10 pages from now the lightbulb will go off and someone will say, "We just need to be able to taze them!" Everyone will cheer and rally 'round. 5 pages of funny anecdotes on tazer/child interactions will follow, and the issue will finally be resolved.

Yep.
