Student Goes Off On Teacher For Not Teaching

Let someone who knows how to teach and control the classroom replace them. Or he can leave and go teach children whom at the ripe old age of 16 do not require babysitting. Like all the other teachers are doing. We lose again. There is nothing to lose in this situation. The students are losing already by him not teaching anything lol

That's another assumption based on evidence you don't have.

Oh I get it...bring discipline back in the schools...Oh okay, now I see where this thread is heading. Yall believe a teacher should have better control over their students. Clearly talking to them like respectable adults ain't working...suspensions are handed down from the administration.  They're just be suspended for 3-5 days and come back acting the same way.  The parents should have absolutely no responsibility for their child's behavior.  So the only option is to bring discipline back in the classrooms. Teachers placing students over their knees and whooping their asses...Okay.

girl leave it alone, some people obviously have no Idea what it is like of being a teacher or TA. That's why some of these children come to school acting like this, many people in this thread are some enablers.

No you know that some people would have been right there with her, screaming at the top of their lungs also..

whatttt... this is where we disagree.. I don't believe she has all the issues, but she clearly has a lot of issues. I never said the teacher shouldn't teach, but I have not seen anything that teacher has done negatively/positively. I can only comment on the evidence that was given, and in this evidence this girl needs to learn some new ways in getting her point across.

So the moment teachers get around inner city kids they all the sudden forget how to teach? Do we need to bring in animal trainers or something? I mean what are you saying? The kids are supposed to come to class, put their rear in the chair, and participate when asked and read quietly when asked. It's that simple. Those children are of the age that they should know how to do that. clearly. teaching is not a job that you can show up and do 50% on the days you feel like.  human nature shows me that people get away with doing as little as you allow.  when you have a teacher and a student both viewing things this way then this is your result.   an animal trainer does not need to be brought in.  a teacher is supposed to train.  if you can't train then why are you there?  anyone can recite a lesson plan.  everyone isn't going to succeed in the classroom but THIS GIRL does not seem like one of them.

If you think he is lacking anything when it comes to his teaching skills based on what you have seen of how this grown ass child chooses to behave then you should also be judging the majority of teachers out there because this is a common occurrence in inner city schools. What else do these kids have in common? Um, let's see. Behind in math, reading, science, and just about everything else. Not graduating, not going on to college, having babies at an early age...and this man is supposed to fix all of this in one semester??? It's his fault these children were not raised at home? He has his education already. You choose to question this man's skills and education because of how someone else raised their child? And then wonder why no one wants to teach these kids? When he can go somewhere else and get paid more while being respected and being allowed to perform his job duties without these kinds of distractions?
