Teacher slaps student

Homework has a purpose! It's to help gauge where kids may still need help on a topic or skill.

When I get homework papers back and see that 9 out of 18-22 kids all missed the same problem, I know that it's a topic we need to cover again. Guess when it's too late to cover that topic again? After they've taken a test and gotten a bad grade.

Parents don't want to enforce homework because they don't want to deal with whiny kids who don't want to do it. However, had you started a good routine from the beginning in K, you'd have no whiny kids. I have plenty of parents who send me emails that say exactly this. "Brandon isn't receptive to hw afterschool so we will not be participating."

So if roughly half the class fails the same area of a test, you keep pushing forward even when you know you haven’t effectively taught the material, then blame the parents? Why is that too late to fix? It sounds like a teacher issue or a structural issue with testing and scoring to me. It’s ridiculous to think the only way you can gauge progress is with homework and your hands are tied with no way to fix it if children don’t do lots of homework every night.

The only way to know if the material was effectively taught without a test is to give a homework assignment. There is only testing or assignments and there is little time for assignments in the classroom as the time is usually spent teaching the lesson. This is in part why teachers give out homework. If you don't want to deal with homework hire a full time private tutor and homeschool.

If you read the comments on the change.org petition for the teacher they claim the kid "fainted" on purpose.

I saw it on the video. It was more than obvious. His parents will say he was a model student no doubt.

He didn't "faint" on purpose. He was struck so hard his head cracked against a concrete wall, so he fell and cradled his head. It's a pretty normal defense mechanism if you are hit in the head. You curl up to protect your head.

Some of you trying to excuse this abuser are terrible.

Yeah, this kid has to be a POC they way you guys are defending thIs POS teacher. Because I know if a teacher had slapped little Becky or Thad like this if would have been a straight Karen situation and 100 gallon bucket to hold Karen’s tears.

Sorry to burst your race baiting bubble but the kid was white.

This coach grabbed a student who had a loaded gun at school. The county wants him suspended. The kids these days are out of control and the county and their parents are condoning it out of fear of lawsuits and laziness. What else should the teachers do?

Whoa….well then I stand corrected! I can admit when I’m wrong. Still can’t understand why y’all are capping for this violent a$$hole. Even if the kid is a trouble maker, the teacher had time to regroup, gather himself and he still chose to walk out of a classroom, chase the kid down and slap this kid. Make it make sense. Actually, no don’t make it sense, there is no explanation, no excuse for this behavior by a educator.

AGAIN you seem to miss the point that you are not the only individual in charge of my childs education. You also seem to miss the point that homework is not the only way to gauge the effectiveness of your teaching. And yet again, your homework has purpose exclamation is missing the entire point of my argument, which is that there is NO CONCRETE BENEFIT specific to ELEMENTARY AGE students.

So you just spew lessons at students and don't give them time in class to apply what you've said?

I hope the violoent piece of sh*t enjoys his jail cell. You people blaming the kid suck.

The kid sucks. There is just so long before you get your due-right or wrong.

Different poster here. How do you know the kid sucked?
How? He was asked to leave the room, he did, he was followed and was assaulted.
EMS documented his injuries. People like you want to tear down kids and blame their bad behavior on poor parenting but have nothing to say about a teacher assaulting a kid. Kids should feel safe at school. The fact that people online are tearing him down shows just how far we have sunk as a society.
Yes, poor behavior by kids need to be addressed but none is f this is it, none of it.

The teacher's assistant who was arrested in Loudoun last month for hitting a kid... well, let's just say that the group chat I'm in with 8 other teachers was not at all sympathetic to the kid.

If that doesn't tell you something about the state of education in this area, nothing will.

Caxton, if adults are disparaging kids online, that is proof positive how vile the adults are.

I have empathy for the teacher, empathy for the teen, but likely very little for the teen's parents/guardians.

Or maybe you are seeing kids suffering the mental health impacts of the pandemic. Please stop blaming parents for all ‘bad behavior.’

Um, no. It's parents.

As a 6th grade middle school teacher, I see the direct results of lazy parenting each year. ES parents don't make their kids do any homework and are used to being able to strongarm the teachers into good grades. It doesn't work in middle school. I don't give a bunch of homework but when I give it, I expect it to be completed. Even though this is expressed to parents and students in a variety of different ways, after the first midterm grades come out, I always have some students and parents who are dumbfounded at how their kid has a bad grade.
DP, here. I understand that you’re posting from your grandma‘s basement and you don’t get out much. However, there are multiple educational schools of thought that assert that homework is pointless there are lots of schools lots of curriculums that don’t utilize homework.

Also, the way kids speak to teachers these days is insane. And why? Because they know there are no consequences.

The pandemic showed the US that 99.9% of parents view teachers as babysitters and nothing more.

This is my last year of teaching and I can't wait to never have to deal with a shitty parent again.

I am not a lazy parent but my child wont be doing elementary school homework. Especially not in K-2nd grade, around age 8 Ill start enforcing. If he wants to do it because its fun so be it but there is no reason he needs to spend 30-45 min doing homework at age 6. None. We can play word games, license plate games while driving for state capitals, cook/bake to work with fractions, read multiple books at night, etc.

It is engagement not homework that matters.

These items aside there is nothing my child could say to a teacher for me to accept that they were struck. Nothing. Teachers are adults. They can control themselves. Children are children and impulsive and testing boundaries and he would be punished at home (a LOT) but physical battery on behalf of the teacher is not acceptable.

Are you serious? You need to make sure your child does the required work. You are just what the teachers encounter - LAZY- and clueless.
Yes homework also matters!!!

My kids’ school has a flipped classroom teaching style. They read the texts and watch the videos during free time in class, study hall, office hours after school or at home. Classroom time is for discussion, project work, hands on learning, going over how to solve problems, practicing the skills they learn, etc. It’s not a lecture based learning environment. They have assessments (basically quizzes) for different units/concepts. They have projects that make up the bulk of their grades. Other than group projects, there’s no such thing as too late. If a kid doesn’t master a concept, they don’t move on to the next. If they don’t pass a quiz, they get to do office hours with the teacher and then attempt a retake. After 2 or 3 retakes, they have to have their teacher for that class sign off on the next attempt, and at some point they involve an advisor and parents. It’s not like they get to take the quiz over and over until they guess enough answers right to pass. They have caring teachers and mentors, and kids learn at a pace they control. They also have a 97+% college acceptance rate and virtually no dropouts. My kids had virtually no homework until middle school, other than recommended nightly reading (read anything, including comic books, was the rule). In high school, the little bit of homework they have is math related. They’re also taking AP classes and passing AP tests, so it’s not like they’ve completely dumbed it down and they’re only getting into community colleges. Homework isn’t the answer a lot of teachers act like it is.

Kid prob deserved it. Finally got a dose of proper discipline because his loser parents are incapable of raising a child.

Some ahole kids only learn through corporal punishment.
