Any of the decrepit old nuns at my school would have controlled that room with just a look.

Of course they were fully backed by the merciless hand of God.

And by parents who were paying the tuition and had given express consent, encouragement even, to smack the ever living shit out of any student who was misbehaving, had misbehaved, or had the potential to misbehave at some point in the future.
The 2 nuns I had for teacher's where the nicest teachers I ever had actually.

Unfortunately, the second she lost it, she lost the hold on the class. The ONLY thing you can do is keep your cool. If someone is being disruptive, send them to the principles office with someone else escorting them. If they won't leave, call security or the police. That's the point that we are at now.

Sure they were nice. They were all nice... until you were alone with them in that stagnant little windowless room just off the cafeteria where they sent the barfy kids to wait until their parents could come pick them up. Once inside that room they would gruffly dangle you over the precipice to Hell that exists in every Catholic school while demanding repentance, lest you be callously let free to plummet into eternal damnation.

At least that's how I remember it.

It's sad that this is not a joke.

Seems like students have realized teachers can't really do shit anymore if students aren't compliant and some teachers haven't adapted.

Anyone know what school in MD this was? Just curious which county it's in.

EDIT:

I see it was in Baltimore. Not surprised by either the teacher or students acting the way they are. That city is such a shithole.

when i saw "maryland teacher calls students..." my first thought was "gotta be in bmore"

I agree.

She lost it. Once that happens it's over. She will never EVER be able to show her face in that classroom again.

I doubt that this was a lone incident and she lost it. My feeling is she's been teaching that class for a while and she has a few trouble makers. It's very difficult to bit feel frustrated day after day.

What if she didn't sleep well?
What if she was feeling sick?
What if her principal was on her ass to curb the behaviors in that classroom.

The point is there are so many underlining issues that it makes it very hard for educators to do their job. Day after day. Year after year Especially if you have a room full of kids who don't want to learn. And, you're under pressure from administration to pass these tests. It's a very difficult job.

The reality is these kids are going to be dealt with harshly.

Not by their teachers, guardians, or the administration. But by life!

Life is going to kick their little asses inside and out.
Agreed. And if I had been their teacher I would have already been paying some illegal to beat their asses after school.

True story from my 8th grade year. We had an older math teacher that lost control of her class. They had not done her any favors by putting quite a few of us that were wise asses and troublemakers all in the same class. We came to class one day to find her there along with 6 male teachers/administrators standing in various places around the classroom. Stupid as I was in 8th grade I had to test by making a smart-ass comment and was rewarded with a smack on the back of my head with a college class ring turned palm inward. No more smart-ass comments from me. The other troublemakers that weren't quite as astute were similarly dealt with in place. A few days of this and the point was made that:
1. We would behave ourselves.
2. The school was firmly in control of the situation and would not allow this teacher to be humiliated by a bunch of 8th graders.
3. The other students in the class would not be denied an education by a few troublemakers.

After a few days the extra help disappeared and there was no further trouble in this teachers class.

There's only so much you can do to adapt when your hands are tied by school policies and the union can't protect you from being fired if you violate said policies

A lot of the blame has to be on her for taking such a crappy job. Go find a school where kids are more normal and want to learn. Don't hang out in a shit hole school just cause its a job. I would have been out of there the 1st day most likely once i saw how the class behaved.

Self control, she lost it. Kids aren't without blame, but they are the kids. I expect her to not engage.

And that's why the system fails. It starts at home, if parents value education the kids will learn no matter what the school does. And if the kids are demonspawn of welfare junkies who understand that the government provides for them no matter what level of lowlife they are and education doesn't matter as long as you get a welfare check, then that's what the kids learn. If the kid walks into class with the attitude of "I refuse to learn and you can't make me" then that is indeed the case. The schools can't make a kid learn if the kid refuses. The old lead a horse to water dilemma.

I can't explain why we keep throwing good money at this problem when there's no chance that the system can work. Instead of segregating kids by race segregate them by desire. If you want to learn, take a seat and here's today's lesson. If you refuse, there's the door, get the fuck out. Why pretend that the current education system is working? It can't if the parents are the ones sinking it.

On a different thought, what if a handful of kids really really want to learn in that class you just saw? It only takes a few bastards to fuck up the entire learning process for everyone.

Sadly found out my old elementary school got rid of all the teaching nuns, even Mother Superior is no longer principal :(. I feel bad the kids these days are really missing out on some fine disciplining tactics.

Normally I would agree with you but in that situation I would have personally straight up quit on the spot and left those kids unsupervised. I actually give her credit for still being in the classroom in the first place. I'm not condoning what she said, she should have never said that but I definitely understand why she lost her shit.

Until we are able to discuss these issues frankly without being called racist when you point out that bad behavior is not a cultural thing nothing will change.

Is there any way we can just call out the individual parents, instead of targetting $race or $incomebracket? Maybe we do a 2 strikes and you're in army basic training rule? Like second strike and the kid's gone until next year, he gets to do BMT until then. Include the parents to give them some discipline as well?

I honestly don't think this is the answer. I went to grade school in Alexandria City Public Schools and they did not allow corporal punishment yet they were able to discipline students effectively and maintain control of schools and classrooms even through the desegregation period that took place between 1962-1972. I then attended Fairfax County Public Schools for Middle and High School where corporal punishment was allowed yet it was 99% a threat rather than a reality. It mostly meant the you could be grabbed and slammed up against a locker when you got too much out of control. Again discipline and good order was kept. The major difference was the WWII generation parents of the baby boomers fully backed the actions of the teachers in the classrooms and the administrators. When I got in trouble in school I was more afraid of what would happen if they decided it needed to be elevated to the point of calling my parents rather than just dealing with it internally. All of my peers were the same.

I was just north of you in Montgomery County, MD ... they tended to call your parents as well, if a good scare didn't work; and like you, i feared my parents wraith, lol

I just don't agree with how children are disciplined as a whole these days. I feel like the government/media/whathaveyou has taken the ability away from parents/elders to discipline your children properly.

The real problem here does not stem from the school system at all - it stems from the parents of these children who think it's okay to act the way they are acting in school. But then you have the parents who want to blame everyone but themselves for their kids acting like little shits.

What the teacher did is completely unacceptable though.

Unfortunately this dumb cycle will continue. 90% of the blame is on the craptastic parents who should be thrown in jail for not bringing up their children correctly.

There's future leaders of America and future gangbangers of America, sadly it appears there are more in the latter in some of these schools.
