This should be the standard for all schools, not the exception. Every position I have ever held came with the implication that, if my performance were sub-par, my employment would be terminated. Teachers should be no different. It's an extremely important job because these children are the future, they will be running the country, so their teachers need to be phenomenal. If they are not, they need to be terminated . Everything should be done to insure their education is as exceptional as possible. Instead, parents wishing for a top notch education for their children must hope they have a winning ticket. I'm serious when I say as education goes, so goes our nation, and our nation is looking bleak.

Both her and her husband have tenure. I heard her husband was good but teaches another subject.

My old animation teacher, who taught us how to use Autodesk Maya, retired halfway through my senior year. She was replaced by another teacher who didn't know how to animate or use Autodesk Maya, so we had to learn the rest of what was left for the school year by ourselves. She was a very condescending jerk too, especially for a teacher who knew less than all of her students did about the subject (that's not even an exaggeration). She even had the whole summer or teach herself how to use Maya, and she refused, but instead came back to school still not knowing how to use it. Thankfully for me, I was already in college when she returned for the new school year, but I know this because someone who was a grade below me told me. It's not like I went to a really bad school either. It wasn't the best of the district, but it wasn't the worst either.

@@davidtherwhanger6795 there are certainly many parents that take responsibility. I do think that the unions and the government are concerned about many things other than the children. I know many teachers personally and while I only know a small percentage of the total I have never met a teacher that doesn't do everything in their power to help the children, often in spite of the detrimental interference from the system that they belong to. In the place where I live some parents have lobbied for things like a no homework policy. Some bring frivolous lawsuits that waste time and money. It is much easier to teach the children of caring and involved parents but they are not all like that. When parents see the education of their children more as a partnership with the teacher it is much more successful. When they see it as an adversarial relationship it is destructive for everyone. When the parents of children that need as much help as possible refuse to take any responsibility for their child's education it hurts their children and also the others in their class. Not every parent can teach their child in every subject but they need to help them in any way that they can rather than turning away. The parents that you describe are not part of the problem. They are the ones that should serve as an example to some of the others. The school has a child for a relatively small part of their week and without having parental support for the rest of the time many children won't have much of a chance.

It seems to me the money being spent by the government on public education goes to pay the salaries of administrators and pet projects, not on actual students. I'm a high school dropout from Arkansas who has had to correct the grammar of college graduates. Something is very wrong with that picture. I can't tell you how many college graduates I've met who were dumber than dirt. Education =/= intelligence. By 6th grade I knew I was being told a bunch of horseshit. It was mostly platitudes about "America the Magnificent", interspersed with math, English and (not enough) history. The fact that I couldn't get a study guide and 'take the finals' before age 16 told me something: School is indoctrination.

Socializing children simply means they are learning to be with other kids, to play together, to be in a school setting. Hells bells, we socialize kittens and puppies! IEA, NEA are necessary to run interference! No Child Left Behind and CORE do not recognize different learning styles nor different intelligences, nor what is DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE for kindergartners!

I think there will be, or could be, thousands of teachers commenting here like I am about to do. My school went "woke". They gave all students the authority to anonymously evaluate teachers, and it was hated. Students, generally, did not want to do it, other than the ones who had grievances, and they wielded enormous power. I had 1% (approx. 1 out of my 100 students) accuse me one year of, "Mr. X is having sekksual relationships with students". These were 12 and 13 year olds. This was clearly an outlier comment. Do you not think that if it were true that more than one student would know it and report it anonymously at that age? I was threatened with a "forensic investigation". This was the last straw. In this video, about the 05:00 mark the student used the term "mean". After 25 years of teaching, with no serious mark against me for anything, admin. put me on an "Action Plan" because of a comment I made. I'm not going to say what it was, but I assure you it was harmless. The admin. did not know the backstory to the comment, and made a false assumption. He, the self-proclaimed "social justice warrior," had it in for me since I am conservative. The Action Plan said that if another student made a comment with the word "mean" in it, that I would fail the plan and be fired. Think about that. Strict, demanding responsibility, having standards can be construed as "mean" by a 12 year old. I was called mean for not letting students text friends in other classes. I was given a text to use in class. Seven teachers, the other 6 women, used this text over about 6 years. It was approved by the principal, and chosen by his wife, the librarian. I didn't read two pages, nor ask the student to, since the previous year I had been disciplined when a parent complained that the text (a section about forced migration), included the terms, "prostitution," and "brothel". Remember, this was assigned to me to use in class, and approved by the very same principal who disciplined me for using it. The next year, I avoided the text, but an avid reader turned to the pages, later went home, and asked her mother what a "brothel" is. Another phone call, another trip to admin., and the explanation that I did not read the text nor assign it, but it didn't matter. I was labeled a "problem" teacher unofficially. It probably happened long before that. I was never openly rude, but I never just went along with the woke initiatives forced on us. Two months after the above "brothel" issue - the second one - the admin. approved a mural in the hallway of the school : "LGBTQ-GF-PS-TS-++Ally, all spelled out with definitions, over the rainbow. I was threatened with investigation for a one off comment, remember, and disciplined for using an assigned text - that the Director of Learning also told me was appropriate to use. All this to say, I retired. Good thing I saved my pennies. Education is a disaster these days. You may think that all those horrible "woke" teachers are in the public school, but they are everywhere, and many become administrators. Spelling error to avoid deletion by YT.

In the past the word discipline was a code word for state approved violence on children entrusted by their parents into the care of other adults. The legal term used was "in loco parentis" which allowed the use of corporal punishment and more recently verbal abuse and ridicule to keep students in line. One defective teacher can cause untold harm in the learning experience of several children, detracting from the honest efforts of more effective teachers. Discipline needs to be used sparingly and in conjunction with honest and open discussion with other teachers and principals before taking any steps. Also need to investigate and involve the parents as early as possible in the process. I was bullied at school due to having undiagnosed autism not discovered until I was 52 yrs of age, a scandalous outcome in any education system. In later life I found out that many of the bullies came from dysfunctional family backgrounds full of violence and hate and were themselves victims of bullying. It is vitally important to differentiate coercion and violence against a powerless individual from the necessary corrective action needed against underperfomance and disruption that can occur in any social setting involving focussed work and collective effort.

It was a combination home school/charter school, so my wife and I taught the kids at home and took them to the charter school once or twice a week. It put my kids light years ahead of kids who were only in public schools! Not only that, but it let my wife and I spend time working with them AND the charter school still had cool electives like music and welding! If I ever become a grandparent I am going to do my best to keep my grandkids from EVER setting foot in a public school!

Hearing about the teacher making her student do pushups reminds me of my drafting teacher in high school. She would give us the option of 50-100 pushups or the principal's office when we acted up. From my experience, it worked well. Students got in less trouble with the powers that be but were still punished for acting up. Plus we had the added benefit of doing something healthy.

When I was in 5th grade, my parents had me transferred to a school that was very strict. It was the best thing that ever could have happened to me.

I taught 39 years - retired from public school and taught in a private school. Public school was a constant interruption with lead abatement education and smokey bear etc. I never felt I could get any teaching done. Then I went to private school and parents only wanted high grades for their children whether they earned them or not. They felt that paying tuition earned their children that right. Who in their right minds would want to teach? Fortunately, I'm done. There are some darn good teachers out there but if you sat down with them their list of frustrations would be a mile long.

I am pro school choice. However, there is something left out. The charter schools can kick out a student for poor performance. Public schools have to keep the students who don't study and don't perform well. This in addition to the juvenile delinquents who make it hard for the good students to succeed. Public schools have to take them all!

These individuals would be denied an opportunity to succeed (and everyone else would be denied their contributions) in today's economy, they would feel the deck is stacked against them, and would turn to crime etc in order to make their way.

As a former student of an Irish Catholic school we got the whole lot free from fees. The standard of discipline and values taught was high but certain teachers got away with violence and attitudes which would be downright criminal today. I was educated through fear in my formative years. Once this threat of corporal punishment was removed my performance in school plummeted. I was barely able to stay employable at a junior level in my chosen sector for which I was not suitable. I was only diagnosed with autism in my 50's despite having gone through 20 years of formal education in the 1960's through to the 1990's with no single teacher even trying to figure out what was wrong with me in that time span. The big concern should be measuring and accounting for individual teachers performance and the need to diagnose intellectual, social and neurological and development difficulties in sufficient time to alleviate learning difficulites and other school problems such as violence and bullying which can detract from the school mission. This did not happen in the past in my personal experience.

You may be right. But would be fully privatized schools without government dependence and without lobbyism better? Why do I have to pay for someone's education, even when that person isn't a part of my family? Also, competition between private schools will drive prizes heavily down and increase quality. For example I think you would pay like 20-30$ every month for your private school, so that your kid would visit it.

My only concern would be really poor people being stuck when they can't afford sending their kids to school. Wasn't their kids' fault! Sure the parents should do better to send them to school, but the kids shouldn't suffer for it. You have this issue with college now (although the real issue is college being WAY too expensive). If college was just $500 (or even just $1000) a year, nobody would be complaining about student debt as much. It's $10000 a year and counting. I digress.

But the charter schools shouldn't receive taxes, but money that is given by private charities which get the money from people who voluntarly give the charities money. Because taxation is force and that'swhy I Compliance about. Honestly I would myself give some of my money voluntarly for the education of someone else.
