Little Girl Trashes a Walmart; Adults Make Excuses

[g5000]

This is trauma, or she's "dysregulated", or she needs a snack. Or the work is too hard for her, or too easy and she's bored.

These are the excuses we hear in the public schools day after day, week after week for behavior like this. I have seen this so many times I can't tell you. In my state you're not allowed to touch the child for just property destruction. You must allow them to destroy whatever.

Note that most adults here are rightly appalled, but one says "You don't know what she's been through". This is no help to children. In eight years when her criminal behavior escalates, the cops will not care "what she's been through". They will just arrest her.

By the way, I have personally seen this many, many times--at SCHOOL. The other children in the class are escorted out to walk the halls while the offender "de-escalates".

Most think the real problem in schools is Woke. No. This is the real problem.

If an adult laid a hand on that minor, they'd be wide open to criminal and civil charges.

I would not dare to touch a kid, either. Not in today's litigious society.

The police could. And that's what needs to happen, in many cases.

Get back with me when you have 200+ people watching the results of your students' learning LIVE....and they're all recording.

No answer to this, big talker?

It's not for the fainthearted, I can tell you that. In fact most teachers couldn't hack what I do. I know because I work with several former "classroom teachers" who are now "specials teachers" and they can't believe the amount of work and energy that goes into a single day.

But keep being you--a study hall monitor I guess.

You guess wrong, elementary school music teacher.

The culture of abandoning accountability. We have very good friends who years ago had a terminally ill child and they still held that child accountable when he stepped out of line like we all step out of line or he did not adhere to standards and expectations of society. They didn’t walk around expecting entitlement for their child or themselves.

These voices in the Walmart video walking around making excuses for the little girl is pathetic.

I second this. To me, if a person goes far enough with their moments of aggravation and frustration, they might only make everyone else happy about whatever wrong is going on with that person.

God bless you always!!!

That's right, videos of my last concert all over Facebook and social media. Recorded live, judged immediately, preserved forever. Try to imagine that pressure.

It was a success, thanks for asking. Mine usually are, because I know what I'm doing.

ETA: to put a finer point on it: if the concert is great, the kids were amazing. If the concert is terrible, I'm a terrible teacher. I have accepted this and thrive in it for 30 years. But sure, what a cake job.
