[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone loves to blame teachers after they create a little monster through apathy and zero accountability.  The teacher is the only one who gives a damn and they are under paid over worked and assaulted by parents, peers, and students.  Then they get blamed because they let themselves be assaulted and harassed. Then fired, blacklisted, and careers ruined because parents and students want to game a system.[/quote]

Yes, kids are supposed to behave like robots so the teachers are not stressed out. I saw several teachers being able to manage difficult kids in classrooms. The problem is with inexperienced teachers. [/quote]

DP. I’ve watched so many young teachers quit. You say the problem is with inexperienced teachers. Sure. Fine. But the simple fact is teachers aren’t sticking around long enough to gain experience anymore. Some students exhibit horrid behavior, the likes of which new teachers couldn’t even imagine would happen. I’ve seen teachers pushed, kicked, cursed at, held against walls. And this is at the high school level, where teenage students can seriously hurt an adult.

Should the inexperienced teachers be faulted for that behavior? Are you going to respond that they should have “connected with the student more,” “praised the student more,” or that they should “remember that these are just kids”?

We have a serious problem in schools. Blaming the brave souls who have decided to tackle it isn’t going to fix things. Teachers need support, respect, and the ability to remove students when the are disruptive or dangerous.
