you can't call it until you see it. My class in year 8 were so rowdy that we made one poor lady leave the school. All the other teachers were fine, we just needed a bit of discapline. It's the nature of the teachers, nothing else.
What the fuck..Ryokai said:Maybe in your country. I went to a school where we had a ton of freedom, (Once drank an entire bottle of scotch in class--Yes, I can hear you going "Suuuuuure" but believe me, I've taken so much medication that I'm ridiculously resistant to all mind altering substances) but the teachers knew had to draw the lines. I mean, I had a teacher who would hit us when he got annoyed (we took it in stride, and laughed even as he did it... though it did hurt, this guy was an ox, but it was all in good fun.)
you are right, and in fact in most countries, chief educators are actually ex military high ranking officers. And u wonder why in the States principles answer to Superintendent which is actually a military term.MelziGurl said:It is for this reason that I firmly believe there should be some form of military discipline in schools. Instead of suspensions, make them either contribute to the school or do some form of bootcamp. Let's face it, suspensions don't work because the kids don't care what their parents think or whether they are there in the first place.
Also, communities in general have gone to shit. It takes an entire community to raise a child, but these days it's more an 'every man for himself' society.
My IT teacher is the best. Seriously hes fine with anyone as long as you work. You stop work for more than a second and he bits your head off and eats it, purpleleafrave will quit to that if he quotes me. You dont fuck with mr H.Blatherscythe said:Have any of you noticed that our teachers in schools have gotten less strict, less controlling of the class and generally have become push-overs? I've only recently noticed that respect for teacher authority has dropped drasticly over the past 3 years in middle school. Back in the day the rules were sit down, shut up, don't talk or your gone, now the teachers have lost their nerve and the class becomes a zoo. Kids text on phones, listen to Ipods when they should be working, kids are yacking non-stop and the teacher for the most part does nothing.
It's become so common that teachers usually won't resist or they'll get into an all out battle for control of the classroom, either way class time gets wasted. Marks have dropped, tests have become easier and still most kids get 65% on average. When the hell did this all happen? When did our teachers spend half the class telling everyone to be quiet? Why isn't anyone sent to detention, the ring-leaders are pretty obvious? When did our teachers become pansies?
I find it ridiculous because they always talk up these teachers to be hardcases with zero tolerance for your bullshit and when you get there it's like they fear the class! Now they won't even adequatly punish a person who's out of control. How the fuck did this happen?
I had one teacher who was ex-military...let's just say that I only ever 'half' did my homework once. It didn't matter if it was half done or just not done at all, you suffered with the rest of them. She also had the boys willingly letting the girls in and out of the classroom first. I respected that teacher, because she gave a damn about whether I failed or not.powell86 said:you are right, and in fact in most countries, chief educators are actually ex military high ranking officers.
