Is that a good excuse for calling your student a loser?
Just because it is relevant to my post. Yes and read the post above yours for my reasoning :p (the last part).
Alright, I did. I see what your trying to say, and to a certain extent, I understand. Teachers really shouldn't hold the hands of the students down the road of their lives.

But like I said, I only agree to a certain extent. I also don't think teachers should throw there students face in the gravel at the side of the road and demean them extremely. How do you know it will help the kid? Sure, your teacher might have helped you, but that's you not the others. How do you know it won't discourage them to speak up and go through life scared, not making the necessary tough decisions, and probably even kill themselves? [small](though, I'll admit, the last part sounds a bit extreme)[/small]

Yes, life is tough, but a teacher has no right to make it tougher than it needs to be.

Teachers shouldn't help kids [small](other than obviously teaching)[/small], but they shouldn't hurt kids either.
Unfortunately coddling kids in the US has done little to improve their life once they get out of school.

Businesses are brutal, they prey on people who are weak and ignorant. While I don't think EVERYONE will experience positive returns like I did I do know that living in a Disney universe would have screwed me sideways once I hit 18.

Course I imagine the military prays for those kind of events. "Oh goody he was ill prepared now he'll join the military to catch up to reality."

Anyone who thinks I'm being dramatic obviously didn't meet the recruiters at college telling students if they were having a hard time to just leave and join the military :p.

PS. I get a huge boner for utopian philosophy, just isn't possible till people start working harder on their education.

Oh please. Tough love. Take it like a man or get the fuck out. Plain and simple.
Yeah, makes sense this statement coming from someone calling themselves "buy teh haloz".

It's a girl in fucking sixth grade, are you kidding me? How the fuck is she supposed to deal with this? It's not going to toughen her up. It's going to fuck her up. Teacher's are supposed to teach and discipline children constructively. What is she supposed to get out of 'loser'?

I pray you don't have kids. They'd be some emotionally messed up people one day having such a tool for a father.

Have you watched the video?
Alright, so it seems I haven't exactly watched the whole thing. So my judgement comes off as a bit brutish and not very well thought out, so sorry. :(

Unacceptable. Harsh criticism can be needed, but it should be constructive rather than name-calling. Kids get that enough from their peers; they don't need it from their teachers, as well.

There's constructive criticism like "Watch your spelling" or "You're confusing that with X" - but writing "-20% for being a loser" is not constructive at all. It's nothing short of nasty, and the term loser doesn't exactly tell the student where he or she is going wrong.

The teacher needs to revise his own marking before a parent clocks him one on the nose.
