Principal Blinded by Violent Student

[SweetSue92]

In Texas, an asst principal responded to an emergency call from the "behavior room". The student threw a few chairs at her, and then a wooden hanger which (HORROR) caused her eye to pop out of its socket.

Children who behave like this should NOT be in public schools with other children. We need to open all kinds of alternate schools, possibly residential schools. And we need mental hospitals back.

A dindu nuffin?

It doesn't matter. The kids who have assaulted me have all been white.

The six year olds?

It's not a skin color issue It's a generational issue.

You teach eh/emh?

 

[SweetSue92]

You teach eh/emh?

Not sure about those acronyms to be honest. I teach in a suburban elementary school--all the kids, every one, grades pre-kindergarten through fifth. Including behavior, special needs, etc.

CULTURAL issue which overwhelmingly involves one race

Where have the mental hospitals gone? At some point, violent, uncontrollable children should not be in any school at all--- what is the point in trying to educate them in a padded cell with bars? Are we going to release these people as adults into society? Risk some teacher's life to educate them? How does one learn like that? The first thing they need to learn is behavior.

Before education can begin, these people need diagnosed and either restrained, confined or medicated until their behavior problems are resolved.

People don't believe it, but generally--esp at the elementary level--my profession is one of soft hearts. And that's wonderful. You need soft hearts when dealing with young children.

But the imbalance of soft hearts v. logic and reason leads to bad outcomes. All our soft hearts are too apt to run after the kids who most need our help, figuring the other kids will be "fine". But of course they're not fine. Eventually the entire culture of the school is violent, unsafe, and even toxic.

This has been happening for a long time. It does need to be corrected.

(We finally got a child in our school moved to a behavior school when, in protest, he smeared his own feces all over the classroom. Yes. He was seven years old.)

The six year olds?

The child who BLINDED THE ASST SUPER was in "intermediate" school. That is usually 5th-6th grade. Those age children have assaulted me too, and are bigger than me, since I'm very petite.

But you know, go ahead and defend a principal having her eye popped out of her socket. You do great things with your study hall kids I guess

I know all too well the feeling that all one needs is just a bit more kindness and compassion to turn the corner, but when a kid starts throwing chairs and seriously injuring others, one has to step back and let cold, hard reason prevail first--- you are doing no kindness to a kid with such emotional disorders, if you really want to be kind to them, the state needs to first seek to resolve the cause of their instability that makes them unfit for society.

Problem is, I believe psychology still very poorly understands the roots of such behavior--- sometimes it may be upbringing/environmental, sometimes it may be diet, sometimes it may be medical/organic, and sometimes it may actually be psychic/spiritual.

Unfortunately, western medicine tends to define everything only in the first three terms and ignore/deny the last.

Sometimes. I have taught kids who were born addicted. Fetal alcohol syndrome, all kinds of disabilities, and sometimes we just don't know.

Every race, every gender.

 

[SweetSue92]

Oh look, here's a "teacher" who doesn't know what Intermediate School is

All of this. Every word.

There are kids out there Sue that honestly, the only thing that is going to maybe help them is a shaman/exorcist.
