Yes, teachers have it easy.
All of you who say teachers whine and complain and have it easy have NO CLUE.
I'll sit in your desk all day and be bored at the small amount of paper work you do...come teach 150 inner city youth every day...good luck suckers.

Think of all the "accidents" that
never are reported in MPS. This one was too bold and in front of too large an audience to be ignored
as many incidents are.
See, this stems from one of those PC attitudes that I don't like. Let's preserve and defend the rights of these little a*holes, coddle them, worry about their self-esteem, worry about if they'll get hurt at recess, worry about if we're punishing them too hard by telling them they're being naughty little girls and boys, let's not worry if they ever develop so much as a conscience or not.
BUT, let's not worry about the people who teach these incorrigible little brats. Let's not worry about protecting and defending THEM, or those who are the victims of these monsters we've created by not making them accountable for their actions from the get-go. Oh hell no, we can't do that, can we?
*smirk* :-p~~~~~~~~~~
One reason why I refuse to put anything into this so-called "educational" system. I can't support it as it is. I can't at all.
Y'know, I saw a story from over in England, saying that people, regular everyday people in neighborhoods, and in schools, are literally afraid of teens.
I can tell you what I'd do to my kids if they came even close to being that bad. I have NO fear of any child. If I'm not older, bigger, and more able to handle myself around someone who hasn't lived even half as long as I have, then there's something WRONG.
Will see if I can find that story again.
Here it is: We Fear Our Teens
Pathetic.
There's so many aspects to these stories. The manner in which kids are raised by their parents, guided by their teachers, policed by law enforcement (or rather, the courts), and influenced by the entertainment world, are some of the areas that most impact the behavior of kids in this day and age.
Of course it all begins in the home. If the home doesn't provide some measure of accountability, pride in one's own good behavior, encouragement toward good behavior, there's little that prevents the kid from patterning himself after whatever he considers most advantageous for himself based on what he's picking up from peers, TV and music. I would hope that there are fewer people who would bristle at the notion of religion properly taught within a family context, but for those who might, I'd wager they have little that effectively replaces the concept of always being accountable to someone for every action.
But assuming there might be (I can't think of how there could--would love an example), the kid is still bombarded with alternative concepts that are counter to the parental guidance. In school, there is the unfortunate condition of no corporal punishment whatsoever. Though I'd hate to see teachers wackin' kids with rulers for the slightest infraction, to be legally restricted from touching the most egregious malcontent seems detrimental in that the wise guy will be emboldened by the relative harmlessness of any rebuttal. The terrorist in the classroom is free to act out his aggressive nature and wear any punishment as a badge of honor among his fellow cretins, because what is meeted out is not in the least bit painful or uncomfortable.
The courts have a tendency to want to help a kid and as a result, they may legally coddle with minor sentences for the lesser infractions, when a strict response would prove uncomfortable.
The media pummels the young mind with images and notions of behavior that is really beyond the kid's emotional ability to handle. Ideas of right and wrong are continually muddied until another generation adopts the destructive notion of moral relativity.
With all this, by the teen years, kids have developed, in varying degrees, nasty attitudes that in some cases are extremely dangerous for teachers and other students.
At the risk of some readers getting the vapors, I believe there is much that was done better in the realm of guiding our kids 50+ yrs ago, than all the psycho-babble nonsense of today will ever understand. And in England, you can add to all of the above the fact that gun control and unarmed cops have given the kids there even less to fear.
