[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, what are you doing to reach them and inspire them?[/quote]

What are the parents doing to inspire their kids?

What are administrators doing to support teachers who really WANT to instruct kids.  What we're doing now is simply pseudo teaching.  Grades mean nothing.  There's no discipline policy that protects teachers and kids who WANT to learn.  Administrators cave to central office.

It's the same everywhere.  Education is a joke.

My own kids know not to enter this field.  In fact, they know we won't pay for college if they head into education.

So, PP, you're part of the problem - always blaming teachers for societal ills.  You can't teach kids who are emotionally blocked.  You can't teach kids who are hungry.  (And, no, a cinnamon bun as part of a free breakfast isn't going to solve the problem.) And you can't teach kids who aren't there half the time.  and my favorite?  "reaching the kid" who wears an ankle bracelet for some sexual offense

I'm sure you want your daughter seated next to him, eh?

DP here -

PP, spend a day in your kid's classroom.  If you experience the demands on teachers and the disrespect they often have to endure.  Kids know they can get away with so.much.shit. without any consequence.  It's very difficult to do your job (teach) when you're dealing with fights in the classroom, disrespectful students, etc.  Yes, teachers need to earn their students respect but when the county frowns on discipline, it's impossible to manage a classroom full of kids who don't care about themselves and don't care about others.[/quote]
