My GAWD liberal, can you let the rest of us idiots know what it feels like to be so smart that you have deciphered the meaning of life before you are thirty?
I know you were compelled to "educate" all of us when you joined this forum. I remember those posts well.
You and your assumptions are just about to make me vomit.
the teacher is the highly educated professional. the child is the adolescent
Not all students are adolescents. If I have a first grader who is scared of their teacher or is relaying questionable behavior...you are telling me that because the teacher is an educated professional, they should automatically be believed over a child this young?
Like a child this young is smart enough to concoct some kind of conspiracy to get their teacher in trouble.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO, yeah okay. You assume it's all right to let your thug students wear their hats in your class because you don't like the rule either.
Way to go, hey, look at me, I'm the cool teacher, let's all rage against the school machine!!
I liken you to the immature adult in the group who is more than happy to buy the beer for the underage kids to make you look cool and gain some misplaced respect.
Same thing.
And now you declare you would have given 3 detentions to a kid if he finished his ISATs too quickly. The same kid who was placed in a gifted program BASED ON THE SCORES FROM THE ISATS THAT HE FINISHED TOO QUICKLY.
Wow, that makes a lot of sense, NOT.
Newsflash lib, it's not a students job to make you look good, it's their job to learn. And if an ineffective teacher is nailed because their students aren't cutting it, well, boo freakin' hoo.
If a teacher is successful, one test score out of an entire class is not going to blow it for them. However, in this case, it sounds like this student's score proved him to be gifted and this teacher over reacted.
Until you have actually secured a full time, permanent teaching job somewhere, hold it for a few years and raise a child or two, I will consider your opinions and rants insignificant.
I get so tired of that same old song and dance about teachers being underpaid and under appreciated. Get a life, they work about eight months out of twelve, in a climate controlled environment, no rain, no snow, no heat, for about seven hours a day, with an hour lunch and in a lot of cases with a parent volunteer or paid teacher's aide to take care of the grunt work.
Teachers know AHEAD OF TIME what things are like in public schools, YET THEY STILL CHOOSE TO DO IT, so when they start crying about it, I have no sympathy.
You are dillusional, actually believing that no one is smarter than you, especially those of us in here.
Get some years on ya boy, grow up, give yourself more than five or six years to gain some life experience, then come back and look at how you have embarassed yourself.
