Bill Maher with great segment on how parents treat teachers

Bill Maher comes in off the top rope on how parents side with the kids over teachers now. Pretty scathing in my opinion. And I agree with him. Parents and teachers need to instill more discipline.

Mass education is a broken model. Hopefully this shutdown dismantles it.

I had to stop watching. His audience claps after every single line. I can’t take that.

When I was a kid and got in trouble at school, not only did I get punished at school, I got my arse whipped when I got home.

this board (and the poliboard) probably agrees with Maher more than any other liberal.

Maher has questionable takes, but he is far and away more pragmatic than any other of the liberal “journalist.”

Every teacher I know, liberal or conservative, wants the ability to legitimately discipline students. They would absolutely love to get major behavior issues out of their classroom, because its hurting students who are there to learn.
The issue is, anytime you do actually discipline a kid the parents fight it. And from being in schools at both ends of the spectrum it doesn't matter whether the kid is a poor Black kid or a rich White kid, both fight it. The rich White kid's family fights it to keep it off their "academic record" because they're applying to college. The poor Black kid's family fights it because they say their kid is being picked on because they're Black.
And the school district is terrified of both kinds of parents. They don't want to get in a prolonged, potentially legal, fight with either. I've seen threats of lawyers getting involved over a kid who got wrote up for cheating on a quiz with his cellphone. It's absolutely absurd.
The mentality that your kid is always right and you're the only person who should be disciplining your kid has permeated across multiple societal lines and gotten utterly out of hand. People try to pit it as a left vs. right issue, but it's all the way across the board.

A lot of younger teachers don’t have any discipline themselves.

No system of education will succeed with parents who think their child is perfect.

He’s a hard left troll that pretends to be libertarian. So I think he’s full of shite most of the time.

Maher is not a liberal by today’s standards. Not even close.

Truth. Such a bizarre time. Most people that say “Alt-Right” don’t have any idea that it was a self given moniker belonging to a white separatist.
