When I was in high school in New Zealand in 1984, the technical drawing teacher (along with other teachers there) just simply laid down the law with the cane. That might have been that bit cruel, but it kept many of us honest.
They need to bring back Sister James Miriam and Sister Mary Joseph along with a few medal rulers to straighten them out when young.
Wish this policy could apply to the House Intelligence committee.
When I was a sub, we were told to clear the room if a student was violent. We were told to never touch a student. The consequence for hugging a child or holding a child’s hand or helping a five year old button his/her pants is firing.
My grandson had a violent child in his class. The child threw his desk, broke the teacher’s desk, and continued throwing things. Two administrators intervened. That child was moved to a lower grade. That’s it. The room was not cleared.
When I was in school, the “bad kids” had their own classrooms and teachers. We non-ferals were free to learn stuff in a civilized atmosphere.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
I’ve heard through the grapevine that this happens on occasion in our little school. Not all teachers do it but some of the younger ones do.
All started with the big lie of inclusion. You can’t magically make the ignorant smarter, the feral tamer, the undisciplined disciplined, etc. just by putting them in the same room. The opposite inevitably occurs.
More insanity from the government school system.
Years from now, this era will he remembered as the time when human evolution began to run in reverse. It’s only a matter of time before baboons start bringing their children to the zoo to see humans in cages.
“...will have no choice but to continue their education in an environment where a single agitated student has the power to seize control of any classroom he pleases.”
That has been the case in public education from many years already.
this is also going on the mental health facilities and mental health hosptials.
The goals are No Restraints ever.
People get hurt, police get called.
Leftist goals in schools and healthcare put many at risk and leave the general population traumatized.
When my kids threw a tantrum, maybe the rooms were clear, but their butts became burning-hot red. Surprisingly, my kids only threw one or two tantrum’s in their childhoods, and did very well, thank you, as adults.
Reflects the inability of many parents to say “no” to their brats who are growing up to be unsocialized adult brats.
A relative teaches in a large public school district. This is exactly what he has been told. If a student becomes violent and starts smashing things, including computers, just let him. Make sure the other students get out of the room and wait until the destruction is done.
To date, he’s experienced it once. Except he picked the student up, carried him out into the hall, and THEN called for help. He was reprimanded, but he hasn’t had a repeat...
This is all true. I teach and special ed students are “pushed” into my room. I have young ones and they are terrified at the “loud” children who scream at random moments, laugh maniacally, bolt for the door and often have to be physically restrained by their minders - all in the presence of 5 year olds. Such a farce! We also have to use the words “neuro- typical” to refer to “normal” students so parents of the “non” typical ones don’t take offense.
The nuns would have got him to the principals office (another nun) and the kids father would have come to get him. That would have been the end of it one way or the other.
Good thing I developed an early love of books and never stopped reading. That's what saved me from a wasted life.
I made sure I raised my own kids in a bedroom suburb with a first-class public school system. Not perfect by any means but troublemakers were dealt with and even expelled occasionally.
In the inner cities (run by liberals nearly 100% of the time), troublemakers are coddled and as a result, very few inner city children get the education they need to improve their socioeconomic situation in adulthood. (Should mention that the liberals running these cities mostly send their kids to private schools).
When Disruptive Citizens Are Coddled, the Whole society Suffers.
My 6th grade teach, Mr. Cooney, leaped two desks and slammed a rowdy kid into the lockers. Scared the kid into pissing his pants. Kid never made another threat again to anyone.
