The naivete if these “student teachers” is staggering.
Philadelphia school teachers hope merely to keep their classrooms in some kind of semi-chaotic state (as opposed to full-blown anarchy) until the day is over and they can escape their masonry babysitting prisons known as “government schools”.
My naive butt "enjoyed" my student teaching at an inner-city Philly school until I was mugged in my classroom at knifepoint -- and decided on a safer major. It wasn't so much the mugging -- which was scary enough -- but the administrations response, which was, "Yeah, that happens. Next time, just hand them your stuff." That was in the late '80s and early '90s, so I can not imagine how bad it is now.
I'd rather teach in Basra, Fallujah or Ramallah than a Philly public school.
