Just talked to a teacher

Where do you gain your insight?

If you send your child to public school, you are committing child abuse. It’s that bad.

With charter schools and some states giving voucher for private schools it’s turning public school into day care for kids who have parents that don’t care to be involved .

but she pushed back claiming it doesn't solve the issue.

My wife is very involved in the school system here and she’s super conservative, except when it comes to schools. She complains about all the neurotic bullshite they have to put up with in schools nowadays but every time I mention what I think the solution is, she pushes back and defends some retarded liberal arse policy. It’s like those school systems brainwash employees into believing the retarded shite they embrace and even conservative employees believe it to an extent. I’ve told her so many times, after debates, that we’ll just have to agree to disagree.

When we were all in school in the 1990’s and early 2000’s, 90% of the things schools tolerate today would’ve resulted in an absolute expulsion then.

Don’t get me started on the fear of actually being proactive in stopping weapons from entering the schools. They train so heavily multiple times a year on what to do during and after a shooting occurs instead of focusing on how to stop the shooting from happening in the first place, but when I bring this up to her, she calls me stupid and says you can’t do that. Well how come shootings almost never occur beyond the TSA checkpoints inside airports? fricking screen the shite out of students before entering school. I don’t give a damn if it takes kids an extra 15 minutes to get into school if it keeps my kid safer. But by all means, please continue to train teachers on how to triage injured students and figure out which ones to “stop the bleed” for after a shooting happens. That’s how you keep the children of America safe!

The huge turning point in public schools, obama's "dear colleague letter". It stated that any school that disciplined a certain race at a higher percentage than their population within that school......would result in all federal funding being withdrawn.

Considering one race of 13% makes up over 50% of the crime, this was literally a license to hunt with no repercussions what so ever.

If only it were that easy

It used to be. I went to a charter school. First was detention, then in school suspension, then out of school suspension, then expulsion.


I got 3 days iss for skipping detention for speaking up in class. Three days out of my classes in a room with other trouble makers just doing busy work. I didn't even have to do anything crazy to get that. Fighting was automatic out of school suspension.

I mentioned a teacher should be able to expel a troublemaker from classroom on a longterm basis

You get blackballed as a teacher if you continue to push the issue.

did she identify "the issue?"

I think the current approach to reading and literacy will help a lot. Preventing kids from leaving 4th grade without being literate will cut down the number of disruptive middle/high schoolers dramatically.

When I was a teacher, every bad PITA violent kid couldn’t read. They don’t teach literacy beyond 4th grade, it’s just assumed. However, if you can’t read, you have no chance to succeed in any middle or high school class other than shop or gym. Kids get frustrated and discouraged, realize that they have no chance but are forced to keep showing up, and then they start acting out due to boredom and anger. I saw it all the time.

Reason #285 we send our kids to Catholic schools.
