Bill would require school workers to report all bullying incidents | SouthCoastToday.com
I just want to know when these legislators are going to hold the bullies and their neglecting parents accountable. They should come into the classroom and try to teach when you have to mediate, counsel, discipline, answer phones, write conduct cards, escort to the office... Maybe a brightly colored pie graph with a break down of our day would enlighten then to how much time we actually get to teach. These habitual school offenders learn these behaviors at home, they are enabled at home, and the legal system has abdicated any authority we may have had over student behavior right out of our hands! Now you want to hold us accountable for yet one more thing we have no control over? Let's not even get into the lack of support on administration end when it's a student on an IEP, who can't be suspended for the tenth time because the LAW says we have to reconvene a team. How are we helping these students by allowing them to point the finger at anyone else but themselves? The courts are to blame too... when a child turns 16, we technically can't file against them, because they are "too old". Or you get a magistrate or judge who says reconvene a team and come back in 6 months. Society has created these evils, and social services have enabled them... We need a legislator to grow some and pass a law holding the parents and/or guardians responsible. Attach their "transitional assistance" checks, make them come to school and escort their little darling, require community service, etc. It takes a village... but our village is filled with freeloaders who want it all, but don't want to do anything for it!

The newspaper always blame teachers for all that is bad in education. Yet they never point the finger at portia bonner... The educational leader.
I stopped buying that rag. I refuse to support them.
