Thread: School now like reality tv?

  1. #1

    Default School now like reality tv?

    http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2008/may/...t-classmate-5/

    I found it absolutely horrendous how this child could be belittled, and forced to be scrutinized by his peers. He already had problems, and this idiotic teacher has just added to it, and potentially smurfed the poor kid's life up.

    What do you think about this article?

    I am... beyond sickened. I hope this is some sort of joke. I'm not one for coddling youngsters overly, but a 5 year old? No. No way am I going to sanction being a prick to a kid that age. The woman has demonstrated an utterly astounding lack of educational chops, and should at the very least be fired.

    That's absolutely sickening.

    I hope I'll be a good teacher so that I can put people like this out of at least one job.

    How could anyone be that sick? It is just disgusting. A 5 year old autistic kid being voted out of class by his own friends because of the teacher. I cant believe anyone could be stupid enough to do this.

    Edit: didnt work for me either, but from what milf said I assume it is this St. Lucie teacher has students vote on whether 5-year-old can stay in class : St. Lucie County : TCPalm

    The teacher will more than likely be fired, but I doubt it will not prevent her from getting a job at another elementary school. Teachers are fairly high in demand and you tend to take what you can get as a school administrator. Although she won't get a recommendation!

    I agree on the point of this entire thing being extraordinarily disgusting.

    Actually, teachers are only high in demand depending on where you are. In most places, teachers are getting laid off right now.

    Anyway, as a teacher who's sick to death of parents making excuses for their children's poor behavior, I can almost see this teacher's frustration leading her to this. Don't get me wrong, this is way over the line, but I've felt that frustration too.

    Poor little kindergartener.

    That kid isn't even in junior high yet. D:

    I hope that teacher gets some form of punishment.

    Well, it's kinda happened in a few of my classes. Not to the same extent, but a teacher has got so fed up with a student they've said something along the lines of "You might aswell leave, no one even wants you in the room, ruining their education", but we're 15/16, not 5.

    That's really sickening really. That poor kid.
