Hey Teacher Haters: Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes

[Mac-7]

Are you a public school teacher?

No

 

[Unkotare]

No

Then you don't know shit. Stop pretending you do.

I wish I had a dollar for every time a teacher like SweetSue92 blamed the parents of disruptive children when the teachers are afraid to push back

Who is it whom, the OP thinks, “hates teachers?”

Anyone who even mildly criticizes the poor state of education today.

This sort of thing is why you need to have at least one or two male teachers around.

Wasn’t asking you.

For once in his life, Joey was correct.

Actually, wondering what SweetSue92 has to say.

Conservatives in this thread who think schools should have cameras in the classroom with live feed for parents to watch, for example. When I explained that there are student privacy laws, a conservative poster a few months ago said make the teacher stand in one spot so the camera can catch them but not the kids.

Kindergarten.

This poster imagined that a kindergarten teacher can STAND IN ONE SPOT.

ALL DAY.

I'm sure you can have a camera that can cover the whole room, so this isn't a problem.

pitch classroom cameras as a safety measure, with the proviso that any footage released will blur out the faces of the children (which is how news stations do it now if they can't get a release from their parents.)

A silly proposal or two about the day to day work of teachers (and proposals for cameras in classrooms) is hardly the same (in my estimation) as hating teachers.

Thanks for clarifying a bit who you were addressing in the thread headline.

FWIW, my grandchildren went to a wonderful pre-school with cameras in every classroom, and the parents could watch their classes with their phones. I think transparency is a good thing.

I think the reasonable position is to hate terrible teachers who hurt children, but most teachers are not that.

Conservatives don't believe it. At least too many don't. Usually because they have a personal ax to grind.

Please don’t imagine that you have a bead on what “conservatives” believe.

You don’t. And you happen to be unable to support your claim.

There are bad teachers in public school AND private schools, and more than ever, because the good ones are quitting

When the DOE is dismantled and money goes straight to the states, then the money will be spent more efficiently. Give the teachers raises.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Dont make me laugh

As if parents will see the worst side of you when you know they are sitting in the classroom

If you ever taught a class in your life, if you do it well, you don't care who is there and often don't notice. I was once so engaged with my students that I saw a hand raised in the back of the class, called on them and it was my school district superintendent.

The money goes straight to the states now for public education from the federal government. You didn't know that?

We didn't have all of this DEI crap when I was teaching.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

That quote illustrates why the educators are as much part of the problem as the children are

The teachers are spineless

Students are not the most important thing in education

The educators, their job, and their future pension have priority

Teachers do not get to make those decisions, dumbass! School boards right the rules.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Simple enough solution. Declare in-classroom cameras a safety measure, and they have nothing to talk about.

Seems to me the people who don't want cameras in the classrooms are the teachers.

It is illegal. What part of that do you not understand? We had to get signed permission to videotape our students even if the video was for our own professional development. You just don't understand reality.

Now multiply that a million times and imagine doing that for a middle school classroom with twice as many kids and only one teacher. Not only is that illegal without signed consent, but it is also not going to happen in public schools.
