I totally side with the teacher in this case.
Then youre as wrong as the teacher.
ARLINGTON, Texas A two-time Teacher of the Year in Arlington is now fighting to keep her job after allegedly telling a Hispanic student to Go back to Mexico. Barnett Junior High School math teacher Shirley Bunn has 24 years of teaching experience. But her career could end with what she called a moment of frustration. Bunn admitted she lost her temper on Sept. 30 while distributing Title 1 forms to her eighth grade students.
Teachers have department heads, vice principals, deans of students, etc; she should have simply referred the disruptive student accordingly if she was unable to accommodate his request.
As a professional its her responsibility to keep her cool and act in an appropriate manner.
So the kid can go all apeshit in the classroom and the teacher has to just sit there and take it? Bullshit! Teachers don't get paid enough to deal with some of the slimeball spawn that attend our schools.
I agree but it depends on the disciplinary policy. Our administrators have no problem with teachers sending out students who are "interfering with the learning of others". But trust me, there are plenty of schools where all discipline is the responsibility of the teachers.
If they have no place to send them, they might just explode. Only a heavily medicated apathetic babysitter would sit there and take it. Is that the type of teacher we want to see in the classroom? Good Lord. We may be close.
