How and why is this being put on video?

Whichever student or students videoed this exchange should be held accountable.

The students who SAID it should be held accountable.

Absolutely! More power to whomever videoed it. Instagram may have been too public as a distribution choice, but it likely would have gotten little traction without the receipts.

Sad thing is that it’s almost certain that a teacher like that will be a professional the rest of his life, in education or something else, while you doubt this kind of child will ever be.

Students are outraged because they feel a White teacher should never say the n-word, even in the context of this situation. They point to the fact that the student said the n-word with a soft a whereas the teacher used a hard -er. But the meaning of the terms are identical. The student didn't use the term to mean "bro".

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This teacher is a good man. He was called a f-ing (F word - homophobic slur & to suck private parts). This particular student has told this teacher and his co-teacher to “F off” all semester. He is teaching and being videotaped. I hope you volunteer to be in the classroom. We have fifteen calendar days and we have been serving your children. Walk a mile in his shoes. [/quote]

💯 This is a FULL STOP situation. That student should not be allowed in that teacher’s classroom again without a behavior specialist right there and an actionable behavior plan that includes expulsion. This is abusive.[/quote]

This x1000!

The student should be expelled. The teacher should get free counseling for having to deal with this abuse at work.

JR parents: the amount of bright, talented, empathetic teachers you are losing this year…Old and young. Black and white. Gay and straight. Those with Dr. in front of their names & those that have been teaching until nearly their 69th birthday. As much as you demonize teachers have you ever reflected on the children we serve every day? Understaffed, overworked and trying our best. Who covers the classes with 2,000 kids and not enough adults? The teachers. We are doing our best. Please be kind OP. The story you have is incomplete.

Absurd.

Sounds like a teachable moment for them. Administration needs to speak up and set them straight.

There are no meaningful consequences for any actions by students anymore. Period. Even schools where you think all of the kids are ‘good’ tell teachers to F-off, they will kill them, etc. Teachers are expected to take verbally abuse repeatedly and do nothing about it. And then when they do respond in some capacity it turns into vilification of the teacher. DCPS needs to reimplement some meaningful consequences or actually do behavior modification programs or there will be no teachers left to teach.

I’m sure they would have been if the teacher said it.

What a horrible child.

And a horrible environment to work in. Why is this allowable behavior at Wilson? What happens in the real world if you use that one word or attack a gay person? You would be fired and subject to a lawsuit or public exposure by the victim.

No wonder teachers are leaving education in droves. Folks want to do counseling or other garbage. Unreal.

I am a JR parent and please know that many of us see you, teachers, and hold you in high esteem. I know that doesn’t make up for this type of abuse, being short staffed, having to turn on a dime with Covid-times instruction and regulations, and so much more. You have hung in there, showed up, and continued to offer high quality instruction to our kids. THANK YOU!! You are seen…

+100. These kids have created an hostile environment and are justifying it by some woke BS they saw on social media.

They should be just as outraged (okay, *nearly* as outraged) if a student said it. Obviously he knows better; he said it to be outrageous.
