Don't turn your back!

One of my students told me "I'm going to pee on you!" I told him to leave the classroom and not to come back until he apologized in front of the entire class. He came back a few minutes later and made a lame apology. I told him that he needed to leave and try again. As he's leaving he smacks a girl across the face. "I didn't do it, Mr." Five minutes later the school police officer is on the phone. "Your student is here and says you threw him out for no reason." "How about he smacked a girl across the face and threw her books across the room?" "Oh. Well, he says he didn't do it. We're sending him back up." I had to beg them not to. Amazing. Why is there always someone second guessing us? The kids are running this place and they know it!

The students are throwing rocks at another teacher in our building. The reaction from our administration is to blame the teacher and side with the kids. "Why did you have your back turned?" Geez. You kind of have to turn your back to write on the board, don't you? You have to take your eyes off the students to look at a textbook. You can't watch them all the time because you would never be able to do any teaching. You can barely teach on a good day.

The kids come to school just to f*&% with us. You can't stop children who just sit there all day thinking up lame things to do to teachers. It can't be done. It's like The Great Escape. They're just thinking of ways to escape, waste our time, and disrupt things. Don't turn your back on them? Come on? When a teacher gets seriously injured will they continue to side with the kids?

No one is held responsible except the teachers. It's always our fault. Everything is our fault. A teacher is getting pelted with rocks and nothing is done. What kind of message does that send? Thank God we have a union because our administration doesn't care about us. Perhaps when this teacher's head gets split open something will be done?
