Student Goes Off On Teacher For Not Teaching

Man, teaching at a high school in the US must be hell. No thanks. Teachers don't get paid enough.

Niecy, I just imagine some teachers brandishing the gun when they reach their patience limit when trying to get the class to be quiet and listen.

I remember some moments when a teacher would just snap and start yelling at us...

Why go on strike for more money so you can teach yet you don't teach because you are on strike? What sense does that make? Don't punish your students by not teaching.  Thats whats wrong with kids these days as it is anyway, they aren't being taught what they should be because either teachers are too lazy and just don't teach or if they do teach they are being taught watered down ass stuff. I have only been out of school since 2009 and even then seems like all the teachers worried about teaching us was stuff we need to know for our state exams, even during years when we weren't required to take state exams. Ish that can't even be applied to stuff I have to learn in college. No I'm pretty sure she said the teachers didn't come to class while they were on strike. I don't think she meant they were there, on premises while on strike, just not teaching. That wouldn't really make sense. She's saying they went on strike to get more money and now they're back and he still isn't teaching. She was not raised right to be clowning like that in front of her elder first of all, so I don't believe her. I can't take anything she's saying seriously because she's acting a fool because her teacher tried to correct her. Show me a video of a kid acting a fool in class and I'm not gonna believe the kid. I've seen many kids act a damn fool in class. All of them were wrong and most didn't graduate on time if at all.

Just because that's what she screamed over the course of the video doesn't mean that's what was going on. I heard her say he told her she was distracting class and her response was well you aren't teaching anyway. The man couldn't even say anything because she was up there hopping around getting sweaty just so she could make the other kids laugh. We only got one side of the story (or less than half). I do not trust a child that is bold enough to behave like that in front of her teacher and a whole class full of children. She has issues.  That was not cute in any way shape or form. What's going on here man...Post a video of a girl flipping out and rambling in class being disrespectful as hell and we believe what she says even though the only video we have shows her to clearly be in the wrong? If she had a lick of sense she would not be up there acting like that. This is why teachers don't want to teach in black schools. Somebody need to get these kids under control. Man this is crazy man...I'm out. She got issues because she's sick and tired of sitting in a classroom and learning nothing? Ummm ok? So if I flip out and scream a whole bunch of stuff (nothing concrete) because I'm mad someone told me I was distracting the class, and you have a video of me acting a fool in the classroom when I'm supposed to be sitting quietly, you'll believe whatever I say? Is that how that works? She wasn't mad because he told her to stop distracting the class. She was mad because he wasn't teaching anything. Is that not something to be mad about? She went about it the wrong way, but I can't be mad at her for wanting to learn. I would hate to come to a classroom every day and not learn a damn thing. It's a waste of time and money.

So why did she wait to go off until he told her she was distracting the class? We don't have evidence that he wasn't teaching but we have sufficient evidence that she was in fact distracting the class. Who told her it was okay to address her teacher like that? Do you really think children like that are teachable? If a child feels it's okay to come to school and clown like that without any fear of consequences from her parents, what do you think she's learned at home? How smart do you really think she is? Do you think you have the authority to teach a child with that mindset? Like I said there's a reason we can't keep quality teachers. All the new bright eyed graduates from Teach for America go to the inner city to get experience then they're off to teach Jane and Sally who know how to act like they got some damn sense and home training. Her mom probably never even taught her ass how to read and write but she wants to get up there and disrespect someone who already has a job and an education. smh.
