Told off this girl today.. And it felt ohhh so good.

and you're so much better? you're on the board chastising the guy. Why not be the "bigger person" and walk away? yeah that's right because it irks you.

-Ed

Usually, a post like this does not warrent a response. It's called troll bait.
I'd like to see where I implied that I'm better than him in anyway. I never mentioned myself, compared myself to him, or mentioned any of my merits in my post. So, go to school, take some LOGIC IMPLECATIONS courses and get off my a$$ kid.

I'm not chastising him what so ever. Just pointing out his reaction for a TO BE SPECIAL ED TEACHER, was a little off the handle.
Were talking about some 16 yr old children making fun of someone. His response, to mouth off about how much MORE he has than them.

If that is going to be his job -- dealing with delinquent teenagers -- then don't you think he should practice a little more restraint?

I hope you're not like that 16-17 year old. I came from a world where teachers should be given respect.

-Ed

I agree,however right now he's in training to become a professional and that is not how professionals respond.
Provoked? wait till he's in charge of a group of Sprecial Needs kids.

you're doing is believing that he treats the kids like that, which is not true. The kids have "special needs" this 16-17 year old does not. Think about it this way: If you're on a bus and an old person comes along (and ur sitting in the front) do u give up ur seat for this person? probably! However if a young 19 year old comes along, do you give up your seat for this person? NO!

You're jumping to conclusions. He's probably a great guy, and does his schooling/job well.

I was merely commenting on the situation.
Please, cease and desist your generalizing of me.

There are official policies and procedures in place to deal with out of line students.A simple trip to the school office
and a recitation of what was said to you would probably have been enough to get that young woman in some pretty hot water.Day care slots in high schools are a pretty precious commodity.

As a Special Ed teacher you are being entrusted with the welfare of people who have been given far,far less than what nature has seen fit to give you.You are going to face days that make this look like a day at the beach.I seriously advise that you have a long talk with your mentor/counselor at the school,you erred seriously today.

tec699: Weak! She sounds like a loser, but your response was, uh read first comment.

IT DOESN'T MATTER!

You were completely out of line, & should be fired for it.

Ok.. I'm a special education major at Rowan University in NJ. I'm going to be graduating soon. One of the requirements that we havr to fulfill is to work with special education children at a public school that is assigned to you.

He's not an employee...

He can be asked not to return, which for all intents & purposes is fired. That would probably be even worse than fired from a regular job, since it would likely endanger his major.

Viper GTS

hehehe, anyone else see the irony in this?? viper is overreacting about tec699 overreacting.

Viper chill dude. it's no big deal.

BruinEd03,

If you applaud him for his actions, you too need to grow up a bit. Letting a 16 or 17 y/o child get to you so bad that you blow up on them is something an ADULT will not do. Period, end of discussion.

hmmm

did you miss the part where he said that she wasn't a student at the school but the mother of one of the kids?

 

[cavemanmoron]

My DAD is retired,

I have A Real job,and pay a Mortgage
you are still going to school? {college?}
LOL

i have been working,at a real job,paying social security since i was 17,after i graduated from high school,I turned 18, four months after i graduated.

I bought a house a month before i turned 22.

i built my own computer 2 years ago,with stuff i bought at Anandtech for sale/trade forums,
🙂

How much do YOU pay in car insurance, or does Dad pay that too/.? 🙁

I realize its tough to get a job without a PHD nowadays,but, how long will you have to work to pay off the college loans/if any; before you are able to make up what it took 4-6 years {or more}of Not working,and earning $$,compared to someone that has a reasonable job,and worked all that time,and did not go to college?

Good Luck

 

[Looney]

sure maybe not respect, but maybe/maybe not at least she'll think twice about her situation in relation to others. Let's put it this way chance of her changing her mind given no verbal outburst: 0% (yes flat out zero...she'll learn that she can talk $hit to other people w/o repercussions). Chances of her changing her mind given the verbal outburst: 5% (yes...horrible odds, but at least it's in her mind now), chances of her changing her mind given another verbal outburst by someone else: 10%...etc.

You work on a lot of assumptions. I'm sure to you it might be worthwhile to risk your career for a 5% chance (entirely an assumption you pulled out of your ass btw) to change a teenager's behavior.

 

[flot]

I agree with everyone else - with an attitude like that you need to seriously evaluate your choice of professions.

I know that a lot of people (myself included) often have a hard time determining where "the workplace" begins and ends, but that was totally inappropriate behavior. It's even pretty inappropriate if that had happened when you were just walking down some random street.

And I hate to tell you, but the 17 yr old with the kid has enough problems as it is. If you're actually pursuing a career in special education, your top priority should be HELPING people...

 

[jeffrey]

Sorry, but you lost the arguement because you responded with your computer and your dad 😱

i wouldn't have responded in the same manner...but props for putting her in her place...

my reply:

your 17 with child...
who's supporting your education and your child financially?...not you...
how does this make you better than me?

😛

 

[SuperGroove]

dude...you told her you had a $2000 computer?

...wtf

 

[tec699]

Wow... It seems that half of the forum users agreed with what I did and half disagreed. Well anyway.. after I thought about what I did and I cooled off a bit, I came to the realization that it's just not worth it. Was it wrong? Yea.. it was. It doesn't make it right, but I was in a bad mood that day. Actually I was in a horrible mood and this girl got under my skin. I exploded because I couldn't take it anymore.

And yea.. again I was wrong, but when someone keeps picking at you then guess what? Your going to bottle it inside and it will eat at you, or you'll react and release that negative energy. I have to admit that it felt good, but I should have restrained myself. I guess I need to find another way to release the anger because I can't keep it bottled up anymore. I'll work on it. Maybe I should take some anger management classes.

by the way.. when I was in grade school, I too was in special education classes. That's why I wanted to get involved. I can relate to the children, because I was once in their shoes. What I did today does not really relate to how I am as aperson. I'm actually a very caring and understanding individual. The incident happened and I need to learn for it. You can't look back... you can only look forward.

If you guys don't mind, lets kill this thread. I appreciate the support and the criticism.

thxs... 🙂

 

[petejk]

YO!!!!

You got my props

Dizz her lame ass!!!!!!!!!!!
Kick her to the curb like the trash she is.

Suck a fat one. bizzatch!!

 

[Jynx980]

Good for you. Im pretty sure I would not have said anything. I hate when people talk smack for no particular reason. I remember middle school, 🙁

Well, heres to you and your brass balls! 😀

 

[AnyMal]

Sounds to me like you belong in one of those special education classes. She may be only 17, but you acted like a 12 year-old.

 

[ChefJoe]

Bah, it's your place of work. Was she wrong for saying this about you, yes, but she's liable to be lashing out at the world around her more than you. As a professional, you should have probably ignored it, but, if you choose to address her, it needs to be pointed out that you work there and would appreciate it if a level of respect was held for the school and the environment.

It does no good to have a young parent mouthing off in a school, it's quite disruptive. You would have been within your rights to have asked her to leave your place of work as well... provided you could get another more senior official around to validate and help with your complaint.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

tec699, Are you certain you're the target of constant derision by complete strangers? Perhaps you suffer from a personality disorder that's responsible for this perception.

Im sick and tired of people talking sh!t about me and I do nothing! IM SICK OF IT!

that's a disturbing statement that indicates you have an extremely unhealthy amount of pent up rage and fustration. I'd recommend against your intended course of action of "dishing it out" as it's posible it will escalate to something with far more tragic consequences, particulally with your lack of poise and disturbing overreaction to meaningless baiting by a complete stranger as demonstrated by your saying

My hands are shaking abit because of this damn incident.

Do some introspection and see if you can determine why the disapproval and negativity expressed about you (if indeed it's not that you're delusional ) by a girl who you'd already evaluated/judged as highly dysfunctional would elicit such an aggressive reaction and emotionally effect you so drastically. You might benefit from professional counseling so consider that as a possibilty as well.

How to make your insults more effective:

WRONG: "I have a $2,000.00 computer!"

RIGHT: "My computer cost more than you will make working at Burger King for four months!"

😉

 

[Koing]

You should have said something which you did. I don't think you should have mentioned other people when you were talking about yourself though. Your dad earning x amount thats not relevent and your sister working at Harvard either. Thats not you. You driving a car thats you. You owning a $2000 pc well i think that was over the top man!

Anyway it really piss's me off when this happens to. I've had numerous kids when I was 16 that would come up to me and talk sh!t to me just becasue I'm asian. Very few asians live in my area.

You said what you had to say at the time. Some people are really stupid especially when she was being so loud about it.

 

[J5im8yo]

I never had any girl talk SHI# about me like that before... In fact I'm pretty good with them gotta know what they want 😉 But on the other hand there are many brats out there and I do feel she deserve a little put down. Just a thought.
