Oh, with a cracked skull, you know. One girl goes to the hospital, mom is sure "the school didn't handle the situation correctly".
Yes, we know, always the school. Them teachers can't teach the three R's, keep students from beating each other down, instill basic moral values, also teach kids to brush their teeth, boil water and balance a checkbook....
Also, why is there a teacher shortage?
Right.
Cops find ‘no evidence’ of bullying after student has head slammed into wall
Right. So, a girl gets assaulted, attacked, brutalized, attempted manslaughter, the girl's life is in risk, she gets moved, no medical help is even called and the final insult, she is the one banned. And over what? Correcting a math problem. Ahha.
That isn't bullying, it is criminal assault. If a black had been the victim, it would be a federal "hate crime." And given the zero tolerance common in schools these days, the handling of it unthinkable. The parents need to sue both the other student and the school for criminal negligence and assault. Oddly, the police have to be dragged kicking and screaming to "look into it."
This is the kind of dirtballs the PSS is churning out these days as the future leaders of our country. Good luck with that.
You missed my point.
I am speaking here about what teachers are expected to deal with and witness here on the daily; I am not talking about how the admin handled the situation. Note my last question re: the teacher shortage. Teachers are expected to teach academic content to THESE STUDENTS, and also as I noted, moral content and content students used to learn at home, like how to cook and balance checkbooks.
The conservative answer is "well you suck so you deserve it". Okay. You realize everyone is leaving the profession, folks aren't coming in, and the only people you're going to get are people who suck WORSE. No one wants to think about how you're going to educate a whole generation of youngsters coming up with people who suck. No one cares. All right then, it's over.
But I knew that already.
Also, do you think zero tolerance is still a thing at schools? It's not. Hasn't been for years.
Agreed. If I were a teacher, I wouldn't accept those terms, I'd leave for a private school or find another job. It isn't like this stuff just started yesterday. So what is the solution if people keep leaving and it just gets worse? Good! Maybe then the government will GET THE FUCK OUT OF EDUCATION and leave it to the private sector to run right. When I was in HS in the 1970s it sucked, I went to a private HS and was all the better for it. The PSS is a flaming joke, as is the "school tax system" where a family of 12 pays no more to educate their kids than a single unmarried person with no kids at all.
Pay for private schools is much, much, much worse that public schools, and even that's not great. You realize this right? Also why are conservatives like us such cowards?
But at any rate it's too late. The attrition has started; the rot is too far gone.
Wrong. Private school for me was 10,000X better than public school. No contest. Let's make it an open market. You pay your taxes and get to CHOOSE which you want. Let the government system COMPETE to prove it is the better choice.
