[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is a honest and hardworking kid - doesn't skip class, turns in work, is a quiet kid in class. But I feel like teachers and admins treat all the students like they are delinquents and lying all the time. Is it DC's school or just the culture of many schools these days? I don't remember teachers being so suspicious these days. DC is not white but I don't think it's racial stereotyping because other parents have complained to us about similar incidents.

One example is child was eating a snack that is the same as the snack that teachers were getting that day. Teacher accused them of taking the snack from the teacher pile. I literally packed that snack myself. I mean it was from Costco. Do they really think the only people who go to Costco are teachers? Another example is DC got yelled at for going to the bathroom in a different part of the building from their class. That bathroom is the cleanest and they were grossed out by the condition of the bathroom closer to the class. They got accused of skipping class while coming out of the bathroom.

There’s an article about two reasons one becomes a teacher. One of those reasons is they are bullies and teaching gives them the opportunity to bully. [/quote]

PP here and while I think there are far more reasons someone chooses to be a teacher, I definitely believe that some choose it because they're power trip type people. Most people like that would choose police officer, I'd think, but maybe if they are physically weaker and can't manhandle adults they will go with teacher. But I do think that a lot of the mean teachers aren't natural-born bullies, they are more people who are spread thin with expectations in their personal and professional lives (expectations like 'if a kid throws a chair, just build a relationship with him to fix it!') and haven't managed to cope with it well.
