Our administration gives the teachers no support AT ALL. This same child came to school with a tool that had a knife on it, stated to another student that he was planning on using the knife on another child in class, the knife was found in his book bag, and he got a 2 days out of school. That was it. Two days for planning to hurt someone with the weapon in his posession. The asst. principal's viewpoint, "Oh, he's just a kid he's all talk. And, it wasn't a real knife, it was just a tool that HAD a knife." Now, what would he have done if something had happened, and he used the knife because no real disciplinary action was taken? The same child also got 3 discipline referrals in a weeks time, and got one day of in school; during which he went around to every teacher's classroom in the whole school and collected their attendance folders and ran other errands. Sounds like the punishment fit the crime, right? Unfortunately, this is seriously how our school works. Blah!~*~Bre~*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/04735317879631870157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862508101573996763.post-4718051392073670312009-05-14T16:39:00.000-04:002009-05-14T16:39:00.000-04:00My wife is a teacher with a Masters degree and has...My wife is a teacher with a Masters degree and has taught about 8 years in private schools. She often takes a couple of years off to write elementary cirriculum books for various publishers. One thing is an absolute to her- respect. When a child is openly disrespectful, they are out for the day and a parental conference is set up. Every time, no exceptions. At some point in time the student is suspended and even expelled. She tolerates a lot- but not that.BLAZER PROPHEThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01235006693463509086noreply@blogger.com
