Why I Keep Teaching

[Unkotare]

.....

"Inclusion" is one of the seeds of failure. Why force people that don't get along to be together? ....

That's not what inclusion is about.

Is your son 3 years old?

I got a very smart, very loving and social grandson that is 3.
I could see him acting crazy like that.

I taught the last 17 years in a Middle School, you know, Grades 6-8.
Never saw Crazy like you describe.
This MS had 550 students.
Passing times were NOT chaos.

These were 1st or 2nd graders. There must have been 500 kids in that hallway alone. It was a madhouse.

That's not what inclusion is about.

Inclusion is a fallacy. Even children recognize and avoid someone who is really different.

You don't seem to understand what it means.

 

[Woodznutz]

You don't seem to understand what it means.

I know what it means, and it ain't good, especially this,

"Integration, where the focus was on the child’s ability to adapt has been replaced by Inclusion. The focus for Inclusion is on the setting’s ability to adapt to the needs of the child, altering where necessary the way it works."

It's the further dumbing down of education.

What does Inclusion mean? — Inclusion.

When "home" is rental housing it becomes a problem.

WHOSE problem?

 

[SweetSue92]

Summer vacation, great health insurance and a union protecting incompetent teachers.

Any teacher who is filled up MOSTLY by this needs to get out, now. Their career will be miserable. Teaching is too difficult to endure it if the above are your most pertinent "selling" points.

Also.

I had great health insurance 30 years ago when I started--it was a "Cadillac" plan. Now, it's barely better than my husband's. We have a high monthly fee taken out of my check and high deductibles.

The problem is with big kids, not the little ones.

More socialization and personal responsibility.

Absolutely. A lot of poor dental hygiene and tooth decay takes place during school hours. Remember that teachers are surrogate parents while children are in their custody, especially younger children.

What is tragic is that teachers often see kids that suffer from inattention and lack of affection at home, but they are constrained from addressing it in any meaningful way. This is the greatest failure of our educational system.

Is this is a joke. You're joking right? Or trolling

While the "I haven't set foot in a school since I dropped out at 15, but I know for sure what goes on in every school in the world because the internet said I do!" pollutes the education forum to the largest degree, lately the insipid "too hard! me scared! everyone quit!" bitches have made a run for the most posts in the education forum.

I keep teaching because it's not about me, it's about the students. ALL the students.

I keep teaching because the future is coming whether we like it or not.

I keep teaching because I love my country.

I keep teaching because a life of service is infinitely more important than "whew, now I can focus on being a lazy, selfish child like I've always wanted to!"

Do your students or their parents know you use an avatar that refers to Japanese Fecal Pornography?

WHOSE problem?

The landlord, maintenance department, and the other tenants.

True story. A few weeks ago a tenant filled one of the washers so full that the agitator seized up, drive mechanism started screaming like a banshee, the drive belt belched smoke that filled the whole laundry room. She just stood there like a dumb ox showing no concern whatsoever. The machine was down for two weeks until I could get it serviced ($300 service charge). Meanwhile the other tenants had to wait to do their laundry. Also, not the first time this has happened.

 

[Woodznutz]

No, it's not.

Yes, it is.

I'm deadly serious. The only caveat is that many teachers are too young and inexperienced to recognize those needs or to deal with them if they did.

Goalposts are moving.

During COVID, yes, not before and not after.

How about the kids that should have food at home but don't, like the one's on SNAP?

I support SNAP programs.
I wish the (R) in Congress would quit tying to use SNAP as one of their spending cuts.

House Republicans’ Proposals Could Take Food Away From Millions of Low-Income Individuals and Families | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

Republican policymakers are reportedly considering many SNAP cut proposals, all of which would end up taking food benefits away from families with low incomes and weaken the program’s effectiveness at reducing food insecurity and poverty.

How would you react when you discovered that SNAP recipients spend 20 percent of the benefits on junk food, and that obesity and associated health problems are rampant among those recipients.

You wouldn't treat your dog like that.

I was seventeen and a half when I dropped out of high school and entered college.

Well, if we could just eat undigested fecal matter then we would not need SNAP.

So are you agreeing that we need more Government Regulations on the usage of SNAP benefits.
I agree with that.
How about you?
