To Save the Schools, We Must Change the Social Contract

[SassyIrishLass]

other than being a victim of its socialist agenda???


and besides its not about me its about the failure of schools since the change to indoctrination instead of teaching,,,its easy to see,

K well I"m going to give you one more chance. Just one more.

If you would have clicked to the article, you would have seen that the teacher quit and cited an example of children flipping over tables in Kindergarten out of anger. Please give an example how this is a result of either:

1. Socialist teaching agenda or

2. Teacher's unions

Show your work

thats a parenting problem and none of the teachers business,,,kick the kid out of class and get back to work,,,

You're dismissed, goodbye

sorry but facts matter,,,

Punctuation matters. Try per

Teachers Unions are liberal organizations. They work diligently to indoctrinate students on the "Evils" of capitalism and 'Right wing Fascism"
I know this because I know many teachers. Teachers who will not tow the hard left line are moved , released and or replaced. The low quality and ignorance of people entrusted to teach our children is appalling.

That's why Charter Schools and Home schooling have increased exponentially.

The teacher who left was probably pressured to do so for some time since she (or he) was unwilling to tow the hard Left line.

Our children attend private schools....I've talked to teachers that left public education to teach at our's schools. They tell me it's night and day

Sure. All the parents are motivated, which makes a huge difference. Schools can also expel troubled students. We have a difficult time doing that.

Our's doesn't, the rules are laid out in the handbook, break them and you're gone. But actually there are not a lot of discipline problems at the schools. Probably because of student's backgrounds

 

[SweetSue92]

In the Midwest. But why should that matter? You told me I don't exist.
Honestly when my fellow conservatives go on about the public schools you all sound like Orange Man Bad. Mindless drones

BINGO !
That was easy.

That's no bingo chump. I voted Trump in 2016 and will vote again in 2020. Search my name and see where I stand.

I'm saying you sound like drones....like Leftists sound WHEN THEY TALK "ORANGE MAN BAD"

youre a teacher not a parent,,,do your job and let them do theirs,,,

A lot of things have changed over the decades. The Progs kowtow to the teachers unions. You commies need to end this with your revolution. Take your pick....AOC or Pelosi and the swamp way.

 

[bodecea]

Teachers have tried desperately to adapt to the changing needs of our students--and we're failing...and leaving the profession.

To save the schools, we have to revisit, and perhaps even change, the social contract. Specifically, we need to be clear about individual rights and collective rights.

The Kindergarten teacher in the article below, who left her job, mentions the kids who turn over tables because they've never been told "no". The day this happens and your child is injured, YOU must take action. Go to the teacher, then principal, superintendent and school board--and take other parents with you. That way, you apply pressure on the slacker parents and school personnel to do their job or get out of the way, because the most fundamental principle of the collective has been breached: students must be safe in school.

We can take our schools back. We can decide certain behaviors can be understood, but not tolerated.

(If you do not want to click and read her entire article, which I recommend, read her first and fourth reason for leaving, which I have copied below.)

1. The old excuse "the kids have changed". No. No friggin way. Kids are kids. PARENTING has changed. SOCIETY has changed. The kids are just the innocent victims of that. Parents are working crazy hours, consumed by their devices, leaving kids in unstable parenting/coparenting situations, terrible media influences... and we are going to give the excuse that the KIDS have changed? What did we expect them to do? Kids behave in undesirable ways in the environment they feel safest. They test the water in the environment that they know their mistakes and behaviors will be treated with kindness and compassion. For those "well behaved" kids--they're throwing normal kid tantrums at home because it's safe. The kids flipping tables at school? They don't have a safe place at home. Our classrooms are the first place they've ever heard 'no', been given boundaries, shown love through respect. Cue "the kids have changed" .
.
4. Instead of holding parents accountable... and making them true partners, we've adopted a customer service mindset. I've seen the Facebook rants about attendance and getting "the letter". Well, here's the thing... I can't teach your child if he's not in school ‍. I was cussed out by parents who wanted to attend field trips but missed the THREE notes that went home--and when they did attend a trip, sat on their phone the entire time. I've had parents stand me up multiple times on Conference Days then call to tattle on me when I refused to offer an after school option. I've had parents tell me that I'm not allowed to tell their child 'no'...

Ex-Kindergarten teacher’s post about why she quit teaching goes viral for how real it is.

that is complete and utter bullshit,,,

children havent changed,,,its the socialist teachers that have changed,,,

they are more focused on indoctrination instead of teaching the 3 R's


what needs to happen is end the teachers union and get back to students first and teachers last,,,

How long have you been teaching?

Right, here's how idiotic this post is. So when a kindergarten child turns over a table in the room, teacher is supposed to ignore it and keep on teaching--"Not my job"

Exhibit A: why most people who dog teachers would not last even half a day, let alone a week in my profession

I know this because I know many teachers. Teachers who will not tow the hard left line are moved , released and or replaced. The low quality and ignorance of people entrusted to teach our children is appalling. I am speaking of the Blue state, inner city schools mostly.

That's why Charter Schools and Home schooling have increased exponentially.

The teacher who left was probably pressured to do so for some time since she (or he) was unwilling to tow the hard Left line.

Here you are saying that teachers are replaced...and yet we keep hearing that it's impossible to get rid of (bad) teachers. Which is it?

You see in this thread why that is almost impossible anymore.

In our modern culture, no one trusts anyone.

Not doctors.

Not cops.

Not the military, even.

And CERTAINLY not teachers. The social contract is busted. It's so sad. There's no level of trust and zero respect. Keep watching this thread and you will see.

I would even settle for "trust, but verify". From so many we don't even get that.

As always, when fakers fail, the first thing they do is start slinging the insults. NEVER fails. it clearly shows their lack of character.
Your argument "seems" to be that ALL teachers in public schools are good and upstanding.
That is laughable at best. But sad at the same time that anyone would think that.

If you in fact voted Trump, I will at least give you that. Most of the liberal teachers I know were staunch Hillary supporters. And ALL are very ignorant outside of the narrow field of their own textbook schooling. Unfortunate.

We do indeed need to "fix" the Public schools system.

I know you teach, I was asking Mr "Expert on how bad teachers are".

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Here you are saying that teachers are replaced...and yet we keep hearing that it's impossible to get rid of (bad) teachers. Which is it?

Another hard core Lefty "conveniently" omitting what was ACTUALLY said. Go back and read it again.

HERE is what I said......

I know this because I know many teachers. Teachers who will not tow the hard left line are moved , released and or replaced.

That, or you are not literate. which is it?

The other option is that they do not get hired in the first place.

I don't care if you think I'm faking. I'm not. That's first.

Second, do not put arguments in my mouth. You said there are "no great teachers". Because you said that does NOT mean that *I* said "ALL" teachers in public schools are good and upstanding.

You have a very narrow stereotypical view of the public schools. You've been spoon fed that by talking points. I will agree with you about the unions and that is why I'm a "scab"--I don't belong. Other than that, do better.

How do you plan on fixing the Public school system? I personally am for school choice...always have been. Public schools should be able to choose what students they accept and keep....just like private schools get to. Also, they should be able to REQUIRE parents to volunteer a certain amount at the school per month...like many Private schools do.

Just from reading your comments I can tell you're a good teacher...I wouldn't have any issues with you teaching ours.

Our oldest have a history/political science teacher, love that guy, he told me our oldest girls challenge him and he welcomes that. That's a teacher. None of that it's my way or the highway garbage so prevalent today
