    Teacher bullies students

    Seriously, I've had teachers show students their collections of air guns to students and tell the girls they'll get extra credit for wearing mini-skirts, but this is kinda bad...

    Pretty disgusting. They really need to revamp the teacher system so idiots like this can be fired quickly and cleanly.

    Public schools are under Teacher's Union rules which force any principle to go through heaps of paperwork just to put a teacher on review. It takes forever to fire one. Some schools simply pay the teachers to sit in a waiting room all day for the rest of the year until they're terminated.

    This, among other things, is a huge reason why America's public school system sucks so bad.
    ...and that's why.

      My teachers bullied me.

      Most of them, anyway.

          They said other parents are supporting the teachers actions? WHAT?

            Took at least 10 years of my old music teacher's lecherous behavior before he was canned. They finally started an investigation right after I graduated.

              Denmo's got the right of it. The unions protect the bad teachers which is one of the problems with education. Many of these teachers really don't give a damn if the kids learn or not, many of them are in it because the pay, hours, and benefits are pretty good. I've had my share of mediocre teachers, and most of my schooling was in a Catholic school; I shudder to think how much worse the public schools might be.

              In addition, all these benefits the unions want cut deep into funding. That, in addition to the soccer moms on the PTA constantly demanding all the latest goodies for their precious brats in the more affluent neighborhoods, is why schools in poor urban districts keep getting the shaft.

                I don't know what the teachers are doing at the school I work at, but they're definitely not teaching. I'm practically the kids' teacher... without the salary or benefits. |:c

                    Yeah, I've had teachers who would just hand out a dumb pointless worksheet and then sit at his desk and eat all hour.

                      I remember back in high school we all had this great history teacher. He was really smart and passionate about what he was doing, but he was also really funny. If he liked you, he'd talk to you like an equal or a friend, and rib on you in the middle of class - it was his way of showing respect.

                      In the middle of a class he called some new kid stupid in passing - you know, chumly, the way I'd call any of you guys stupid - and the kid complained to the upper staff, and the teacher went under review. Every other student went up to this kid and was like, "Nice going, asshole, you're gonna cost us the best teacher we have in this ****ing school."

                      I think he's still working there, though.

                      I wonder how a grown man defends calling a kid a loser anyway? Only because I might need to know for my own sake in the future

                          I mean, don't get me wrong. Most of my teachers were pretty decent. True, it was public school and true, we were pretty damn broke, but the teachers were pretty good.

                          But yes, some teacher sucked. Like the one with the air guns. Banned twice. (Once for the air gun, the other for punching someone.) Plus, there was this other teacher. He would always pair me up with the kids with lower grades who HAPPENED to be on the team HE coached.
