PP: "Agreed! But it's so much easier for principals to sit on their asses and blame teachers for having no classroom management. Of course they don't have it. Know why? Because there are no consequences for their behaviors. And behavioral consequences are supposed to come from administrators. Teachers are supposed to TEACH. Administrators are supposed to deal with discipline issues and create environments where teachers can do their jobs."

As a teacher, I never thought that my job was to TEACH and my administrator's job was to deal with discipline issues.  Once students determine that this is your philosophy, you will never gain the respect of your students.

Really? So what was your philosophy?

Who's supposed to deal with the disruptive student who, say, pulls out his cell phone, makes a call and refuses to hand it over when you ask? Oh yeah, you e spoken to Gramma about his behavior twice.

Or the students who throw laptops from the cart bcause they "don't wanna do this shit"?

Or the student who says No, fuck you bitch when you ask him to stop talking?

Good for you if you were in a DC school where kids had respect. Based on most of the posts I've read from DC teachers that is not the norm. Were you at Janney? Banneker? A school where it was known that type of behavior would result in serious administrative consequences?[/quote]
