re: Zero tolerance in the classroom

My wife just started teaching. I think she might quit after just three weeks. There is literally nothing she can do for these people. She gave her first test last week, it was multiple choice and most of them just wrote their name on the test and didnt bother to answer any of the questions. Yay "No Child Left Behind".

Yet out leaders would have you believe that our schools are failing these students who so desperately want to improve their lives. That's because those who should be held accountable will never be held accountable. They pull the levers that put ignorant policy makers on education in office.

Also, Placebeaux, don't try to reason with people here over the actions of the teacher. They have no idea. As a teacher in a situation where a fight breaks out, you're damned if you do (intervene), and damned if you don't.
