Oh for Heaven's Sake!

IT's time for the pendulum to swing back just a little bit---to where teachers can have some control! It was that way when I was teaching---the kids know the teachers can do nothing discipline wise! It's just not right!

 

After reading these posts, I just got this scenario in my head: A girl walks into the classroom with her boobs totally hanging out of her clothing and no one can say anything (or, at least not the teacher!) and then another girl is spotted hugging a friend. Guess which girl gets in trouble for inappropriate behavior!?!?

Whether there's more to the story or not, the fact that PDA has to be such an issue makes me glad to be away from it all.

As for teachers, I sympathize with them for everything from behavior to teach-to-the-test demands and the freedom they've lost to control the curriculum within their own classrooms. It was my stint as a long term sub that led me to HSing and no amount of money could ever get me back in the classroom again.
