Meanwhile; in Indianapolis...
Paddling, Taylor said, was part of teaching back then. And it was effective at controlling bad behavior.
“Sometimes that’s what had to happen,” she said. “I always told the students ‘I expect you to behave and if you don’t, well if I paddle you once, I won’t have to again.’ ”

Any and all attempts to force good teachers into black or Hispanic schools will fail. Good teachers will want to teach students who want to learn, and they do not want to (nor will they) teach violent, rude, brutal Urban Ferals.
Nor do they want to have their car keyed, be beaten by students, be raped by students, be killed by students, ad nauseam.
When minority students acquire the student behaviors of successful white students, they can be taught with some success.
HOWEVER ! ! - given the IQ disparities between black and Hispanic students and white students, to expect black/Hispanic scores to reach the white scores is to ask the teachers to do the impossible.
When professional race card players (most if not all Democrats) say they will accomplish anything that will result in black/Hispanic academic test score equality with white scores, they assure the cheating made infamous in the Atlanta, GA school system.
Teachers are a cohort enriching themselves improperly because they take their salary knowing they can’t educate the “students”.
Taking a job which one knows one can’t accomplish is also commonly known as fraud.
Sorry, but teachers are frauds improperly enriching themselves.
Had they, as a group, discussed these issues I would support them. As it it, I hold they should be deal;t with as the frauds they really are.
How about chopping salaries, removing pensions & bennies?
“But, the Lil’ darlins’ will be dealing drugs if they are not in school” is the commie/union whine.
Sorry, they are dealing drugs in the halls as I type.
The Pooblic Skrewl Collective is beyond repair - time to start anew.
I suggest Google search for “We Test And How” - Carry_Okie’s perspective on the Hives of teh Collective.

Also, this decision is a bad precedent. Just because this judge doesn't like the results of the challenged laws, he decides they're unconstitutional. Based on reasoning like this, any judge can do anything.
I’m not sure any mere moral could make a dent with some of these inner city students. Does that mean these teachers are frauds for trying? That’s too extreme for me....it is still their time and effort. Many, many people get paid for merely showing up...not just teachers. Maybe truth to power would be to change their titles from “teacher” to “babysitter”. But I’m sure that would be considered damaging to everyone’s self esteem....can’t have that.
Their are fundamentally three tiers of students:
The better students are not taught so much as guided and engaged. The ones in the middle are taught in the conventional sense. The ones at the bottom are warehoused until they’re “done”—if you’re lucky, they learn enough of the three Rs to function in society.
From a student perspective, much of this is self selection. A bad teacher can potentially cause a student to go from an upper tier to a lower one. Conversely, a good teacher can cause a bad student to go from a lower tier to a higher one. But these are exceptions to the rule.
well that’s just great....... .75 pounds please
Well said. Many of those in the middle have the inherent ability to be in the top tier but lack consistent effort. All can be taught, but methods and expectations have to be adjusted.
