Teachers Who Bully ( We shouldn't be surprised)

“My child’s kindergarten teacher was a bully. We tried to work with her, then the principal, to resolve the problems in her classroom. No luck. We had to remove our child from the school and enroll him somewhere else. We heard countless stories from parents who had their children in that teacher’s class in previous years as well as stories from current and former teachers aides. The teacher is just plain mean and the children perform purely out of fear. While her attitude may not be as inappropriate at a later grade level, it is terrible to do what she’s done to kindergarten kids. My child has been in the new school with a better teacher for 3 weeks now and the difference has been night and day.”

It is sad that there are teachers out there who act like a bully in ANY classroom, and especially a Kindergarten teacher. A child’s first experience in school is so very important to help instill a love of learning. My advise to any parent is to move your Kindergarten child if he or she does not LOVE school within two weeks! The only reason I say two weeks is that sometimes a child may need just a little time to overcome that separation from mommy, unless they have attended a good preschool program and are used to being away from home.

Don’t care....Social Workers generally don’t work in this state anyway. They just call the police to check up on the house because the police are the only persons who can remove a kid without a judges order.

So the social workers just call the police to do the whole investigation.

There was a teacher at my school who would walk up behind you while waiting for the bus and try a Vulcan neck pinch while waiting in line.

He wasn't even my teacher, unprovked and always performed it on the last kid in line some no one saw him.

I forget his name but can you imagine someone pulling this crap today?

I never told my parents figured I would get in trouble for reporting it.

Scrawny little scumbag, if I could travel back in time he'd get a swift kick in the family Jewels.

I think that vocational training (in auto mechanics, construction work, being a beautitian, etc.) could reduce the drop out rate and maybe even discourage young people from joining gangs because they get to do something productive with themselves.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

1) What about apprenticeship programs similar to those in the Amish community? Having mature adults as role models would help in discouraging young people from joining gangs.

2) I also think young people should be given the opportunity to have vocational training.

3) One of the problems in our state, is their right to a government education expires at age 20. A third option would be to let the kid drop out! Let him work in Mc Donalds. When he gets sick of this. Allow him to use his remaining school years in an adult education or training program, if he has 3 years remaining at age 35, let him use those unused years.

There was a similar teacher who taught 4th grade near us. She would scram and belittle the students, handing out extensive write-off punishments for little reason. Parents who would stand outside her room without the teacher’s knowledge would be shocked at the way she treated the kids. One friend’s daughters, who are generally so quiet and shy that you would hardly know they were in the room, kept getting write-off punishments and FINALLY after about 12 years of her abuse, she was removed from elementary school and placed in a high school setting. She should have been fired, but you know how the teachers’ unions are.

This is nothing new.

If we were to post every public school horror story that happened, we wouldn’t have time to do anything else.

” A child’s first experience in school is so very important to help instill a love of learning.”

Actually, if you researched the history of public education, you’d discover that destroying the love of learning is one of its goals.

Allow him to use his remaining school years in an adult education or training program, if he has 3 years remaining at age 35, let him use those unused years.

Excellent idea.

There is a special place in hell for these scumbag teachers.

My third grade teacher is probably running the place.She came after me one day at lunch and had me go back and get my food tray and eat my scallop potatos and I couldn't leave until I did.They were nasty as hell warm,let alone cold.Two hours went by and here she comes seeing that I hadn't taken a bite.She started hollerin that I better take a bite or she was going to force them down my throat.I reluctantly tried to take a bite and puked all over them.She went ballistic on me slapping the daylights out of me screaming"Next time you do that,you'll eat that with it!!That was one incident,I could write a book about that old hag.

There are horror stories because to institutionalize a child and treat him like a prisoner is a horrible experience. I call it child abuse.

[Esther Ruth]

... if they are marched around like herds of sheep to the sound of Pavlov’s bell....It is not normal to treat children this way. In fact, I call it abusive.

Right - Pavlov’s Classical conditioning and Behaviorism is for dogs, not for humans made in the image of God.

Public schools are not the only place you will see humans being treated like dogs. There is an urgency in the air, humans must be conditioned / homogenized as quickly as possible for the good of all!

There are plenty of dysfunctional churches and church schools dehumanizing people/children also, treating them like dogs to get them to more quickly comply, conform and submit these days - so folks watch out.

There is a new tower of babel to be built and the wolves are everywhere. The falling away is happening faster everyday. Don’t be surprised at how much fun they seem to be having abusing the sheep either - just run as fast as you can before they devour you.

[seekthetruth]

That isn’t the case will all the public school teachers I have known and worked with for 43 years!

[Clintonfatigued]

I’m not saying it’s the case with individual teachers, but it is the case with the institution they work for.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Exactly! It is not a way to treat a son or daughter of God.

[latina4dubya]

biting sarcasm to humiliate a child in front of the class?

sounds like my high school geometry teacher...

[latina4dubya]

He even threw me off of the bleachers once in frustration and he still is head and shoulders above all others.

too bad he did it in frustration... that shows lack of self-control on his part...

[latina4dubya]

Hot, sweaty boys can smell bad, even at 10 or 11.

or even younger! my 11-year old son started wearing deodorant just under his 9th birthday... and i'm thinking my 7-year old may need it even sooner!

[mware]

Our daughter had a teacher like that in the first grade. She was dreadful.....

Back in the day, when I was in first grade, I walked in excited to be in school. (My grandmother was the cook in the two room schoolhouse)

As I walked into the classroom who do I see by the spitting image of Almira Gultch of Wizard of Oz fame.

I was so scared of her that it wasn;t until around November that I fimally got the courage to go up to her desk and ask her what number came after 99.
