I can understand that teachers get frustrated with kids. I personally have seen it and been a part of it as a kid myself. I have watched my fellow classmates push a teacher to the brink, and caused that teacher to lash out, and I have known teachers to lose it and cry and have emotional breakdowns. But I will never condone a teacher lashing out at kids. Not in any way, shape, or form. The fact that this teacher did it in this manner makes it even worse, but frankly I don't care if she called them little shits or morons or worthless or whatever. It's never okay. It violates the teacher/student relationship. The job of the teacher is to inspire the kids. Educate them, earn their trust, and sometimes take the hit. Kids are ruthless. If you can't handle it, don't become a teacher. It's that simple. With that said, our education system needs a huge overhaul. Our children are not getting a good education, and it's not the fault of the teachers. The system is broken. Plain and simple, and the teachers are on the front lines of that failure, but it is never okay for them to take out their frustrations on the kids. Never. Period. End of discussion. This kind of attitude can not be allowed.
Starts with more discipline. When I was in school that shit didn't fucking happen. You were in respect of your teacher, and afraid when they got upset, not in a violent afraid way, but "oh shit I gotta go to the principals office and then face my parents" afraid. Parents are to blame here.
Yes they are. And teachers are put in an impossible situation where they have to babysit a bunch of entitled little brats.... but it's still unacceptable to lash out at the kids. Firstly, it doesn't help and it only makes it worse. Second, if you go that route, it's very difficult to come back. I had a teacher in 7th grade. She was a science teacher, and my class was savage towards her. She tried everything. She tried counting down. She tried ringing a bell to get the kids quiet. She tried discipline. Kids would hide watches around the classroom and set alarms that would go off randomly. They would yell out "BLASTOFF" when she got to zero on her countdown. They would do just about everything they could to unhinge this woman. Looking back, I feel awful for her. She just wanted to teach us, and we were horrible little fuckers that never gave her an inch.
Oh yeah, I mean the lashing out is never good by a teacher. If they can't handle the students you send them home, or to the Principal, etc. Ain't nobody got time for that. Again, for that situation you just described it's lack of respect instilled into them by their parents.
Well, as a teacher, I think you can't let the kids push you around. You gotta set the tone early. You won't put up with the shit. Send the kid to detention. Nip it in the bud early.
I understand why you think it is ok for the black teacher to say it and not a white teacher. That's a huge problem. For the longest time you had a black vulcan picture up. There is no logical explanation for saying we're equal but different. That was the excuse whites used to discriminate against blacks for years. It didn't withstand scrutiny then and it doesn't now.
A black person saying that (and don't get me wrong, I don't condone anyone yelling that at the kids in a classroom) isn't racist.
You like to assume too much. Tuvok is one of my favorite characters on Star Trek. I'm a Treckie. One of the reasons why I'm a Trekkie, is because it depicts us three hundred years into the future when we were past all of this bullshit and we didn't blow this planet up. It also shows black people in roles where they get to use intelligence to solve problems instead of perpetuating the stereotypes that are perpetuated today.
So as far as the teacher is concerned, she had a bunch of kids who weren't paying attention, and probably being disrespectful, so she asked them if they wanted to do well in school, or be a "punk ass nigga that gets shot" too bad she doesn't have more pigment in her skin, or else people wouldn't have batted an eye. Is no one aware of how rough Baltimore is? Its one of the worst drug and crime infested cities in America, that teacher was talking about real shit. Should she have said the n word? No. But she wasn't being racist at all. Baltimore has a serious problem with young black men being shot. But white people cant say real shit without being called a racist. And for the "I'm blaming him for all future racism" yeah, just keep meeting hate and ignorance, with hate and ignorance. That should fix everything. That won't just keep perpetuating hate and ignorance or anything...
Are you talking about a black teacher calling white students a racist name? Or are you talking about a black teacher calling black students that racist name?
They were the size of a small state, I'm talking about an entire continent. If Europeans didn't colonize the Americas, then it would've been done by Asians, or Africans. And if somehow the Americas, stayed isolated forever, the Aztecs, would've spread their empire throughout the whole continent and killed, enslaved, or sacrificed every last Native American on the way. But instead, the Spanish came....
I'm not going to get into a religious discussion or argument with you or anyone else. However the bolded statement isn't entirely true. As after the Orlando nightclub Shooting there was at least one mainstream Christian leader condoning the act. The video went viral.
More hatred. There's hatred on both sides. This needs to stop. http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/..._on_fire_spray_painted.html#incart_river_home
