"When teachers are fo...You are a funny guy! <br /><br />"When teachers are force-fed garbage about how inexcusable behavior like cussing out-loud in class and willful defiance and disrespect towards teachers and staff must be tolerated by some students due to their "cultural" background---when we start genuflecting before the radical out of touch apologists who espouse this garbage, then we have tripled-down on a failed strategy that will lead to the destruction of many school districts. This is nothing short of a license for anarchy in some schools, and this will have the ancillary effect of hastening an already acute teacher shortage in these challenging schools, while concurrently shepherding the evacuation of such schools by any students with families of means."<br /><br />I will reiterate that I don't think the Flippen Group would think students' behavior is necessarily "inexcusable." Even I believe there should be consequences. That's just one piece of the puzzle though. They recognize there are more elements of cooperation instead of just saying, sit here and do what I tell you, or else you're gonna be kicked out." How welcoming is that, really?<br /><br />One problem with teaching, which I think has to do with other factors, is that it can be very impersonal given what you have to do in the short 50 minute time block you have with them. No need to elaborate, but that's one barrier to teachers (especially to teachers who dont quite realize this aspect). <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
