If you sign up to teach the Amish, you have to be ready for a war zone.
As an education major, my daughter did student teaching in an inner city school, predominately “Amish” of course. She was cussed, threatened, and treated rudely. Needless to say she never became a teacher in the public school system.
A veteran of inner-city assignments, he is psychologically prepared for all-out war with his students, to the point that taking attendance is a confrontational exercise.
His students are bewildered by his attitude.
A white I know teaches in a mostly black high school. They keep a massive hall monitor in all halls so the students are never out of sight. He has a hall monitor outside his class. The school expels any students who give him trouble. He said the school and school board are thrilled with his efforts to teach. The black boys are less thrilled. But as they’ve eliminated the trouble makers the other student’s performance has improved. The all black county school board visited his classes last week.
