Principal not principle. Sorry homeschoolers!
Grade me an F for spelling today!!!
Mayor Dixon succeeded Marin OMalley. Sounds like Baltimore is such a dump that of course O’M should have been given a promotion to do for all of MD what he did for Baltimore!
Sadly as more of these incidents happen I suppose more decent people, white and black, wanting a better life for their children, will move out of Baltimore. That will only leave the worst of the worst there, and the schools will be little more than zoos.
Meanwhile is there some kind of support fund we can contribute to in order to help out this teacher?
My husband and I are sitting here laughing! :-) How TRUE!
This was our homeschool experience as well. It is easier to teach a child to read that many,many other things!
“Obviously, there must be good kids in this school. Why aren’t we rescuing the decent kids?”
Do you mean the ones who were cheering, the ones who recorded it, or the ones who didn’t help the teacher?
By a crack ho?
You've added a handy word to my vocabulary. Thanks
Certainly not. However if the government gave up its monopoly and control of education I believe that the various charitable organizations in existence would quickly fill the void and do a far better job.
Projects! That brings back memories of Grandma, who was still talking about it when I was little. She was born into poverty, worked from the age of 10, and for a brief time during the Depression she had to accept charity and live in one of the early government "projects." She NEVER got over the shame. Over sixty years later she died a very rich woman, and it was the sting of an unearned benefit that set her on her course.
One of the reasons we homeschooled was that our county ( rural,white, and a mere 1% immigrant population) had a 20% adult illiteracy rate. Really! And...*All* of these illiterates were mis-educated in the county government schools!
Like Madeline Murray O’hare, chopped up in little pieces in an orgy of violence, the progeny of her successful removal of prayer and it’s attendant values from school are descending into “Lord of the Flies” reality.
There are schools that are so horrific, abusive, and socially toxic that it would be better for a student never to step foot in them. Some schools are that horrible. This is true even if the child never received any education whatsoever.
I seriously mean this! It would be better for a child to be illiterate and innumerate than ever to be subjected to that enviroment!
The school in this article is one of them.
Poll the students. Look them in the eye. “Do you REALLY want an education (Since their parents don’t care)” Take those that say yes and screw the rest. Education is expensive enough. Why waste the money when it is constantly misapplied. Me? I’d start the Joe Clark School of Leadership. The logo would be crossed bats.
We have a major misunderstanding of children. These ‘kids’ need to be taught right from wrong and when they are not, this is what happens. The other kids in the room cheered the beating. Isn’t that special? If I were this teacher I would report this to the police and press charges - to hell with the principal and the school administration; either that or have a rematch when no one else was watching.
This stuff is not new and not confined to inner city schools. In 8th grade, 1963, in a middle class California suburban school, I can remember one student punching out a teacher in the hall. Another teacher was fired for supplying alcohol to students and partying with them at her house. She was having sexual relations with at least one of them as I recall. The students in question were overage, oversize holdbacks. There were no blacks at that school; almost all students were white. No one in that area was especially poor.
No, I don't. But...I am willing to bet that within that school there are some good kids.
No sympathy for the teacher(s). They and the schools help create these monsters so now they can feed them. As long as the students feel good about themselves .......blah blah blah.
I think you did.
You are now qualified for a $250,000 a year school administrative position!
“On one hand, she told me that she is sorry that his happened to me,” Berry said. “But then she turned right around and told me that telling a student that I was going to defend myself was a trigger word. I triggered them.”
Hell at that point I would have bitch slapped the moron then turned and said sorry “TRIGGER!!”
You have a point!
Teachers and principals go to school every day and open the doors on this dysfunction. Teachers and principals write checks that support the NEA and its anti-Christian and pro-Marxist policies. It is their union that lobbies the legislators. It is their Colleges of Education that dream up their nutty and ineffective education theories. It is teachers who **willingly** implement them.
Legislators, parents, and school board do **none** of the above. Only teachers do this.
If teachers didn't cooperate, we wouldn't have these horrible schools.
