American public schools chew up teachers and spit them out

Case in point as we speak my daughter a 12 year veteran teacher in an inner city school is going through an ordeal,she is pregnant due on the 23rd of December,a scared student approached her saying he knew something but was afraid to tell her and would she not tell who told her,she took him aside and he told her another student in her class threatened to stab her and kill her baby,this is a 12 year old with a history of attacks against teachers.She went to the principal,school superintendent,they would not suspend the student,they put him in the classroom next door,her union and the lawyer for the union are trying to help so far to no avail,another teacher came forward to explain this same student had thrown scissors at her and she had put in a report on it when the records were looked for all records on this student were gone.
Her blood pressure is up and the doctor has told her to stay home.

The American people seem more often than not to side with all manner of troublemakers; they have collective “Stockholm syndrome”.

.....and in many states work in a closed shop environment, pay for their additional edu credits [mandated by law] out of pocket, spend their own money [non-re-embursed] for classroom supplies.

Gracious. Your seething hatred of ps teachers is palatable. Have a nice day....go kick your dog.

On Long Island, my sons 5th grade teacher earned $107k per year.. The special ed teacher in the same classroom earned $117k. (They are public employees and the salaries are public record and posted online)
The idea of the poor underpaid overworked teacher is a teachers union myth, at least around here. ( And we still have to send in cases of tissues and wipes every couple of months)

I started at 28K in Mississippi as a 1st year HS teacher. Now, with a master’s (an MA in Eng., not a MAT) and 10 years exp. in a SC HS, I’m almost to 45K.

For what it’s worth: The first time I saw news about Tony Abbott, I was very impressed. I thought, Can we trade Obama for this guy?

My seething hatred? Go kick my dog?

Sounds like something a belligerent union thug would say. Are you on the right forum?

[trisham]

Some things can’t be fixed, because they never were right from the beginning.

Pure unadulterated Gruberish. HAHAHA! Funny that!

Have a lovely evening troll.

[Gene Eric]

Troll?

You accused me of having “seething hatred” for teachers, and suggested I “kick my dog”... and now you’re calling me a troll.

You’ve made an impersonal issue personal without making any effort to find out how I view the individual educator. You jumped to conclusions, and were quite nasty about it. I’m not impressed with your reasoning.
