Good morning ! Wow, totally out of place for a teacher �s job ... sorry to say. If kids are the way they are nowadays, it �s precisely because of what they lack at home, so what �d be the use of calling them names and suggesting grading tests with such comments ??? Is that the way she supposes she will teach them anything ?? |

While I would never ever write such things on a blog, I can tell you that she describes some of my students and parents. I have stopped counting how many times I �ve said "This is not a suggestion, I �m asking you to do this", "Sorry but this is not negotiable", " Did you ever think there would not be consequences?", etc. I do a lot of class management before I can start my class. I follow student teachers and this made me realize that I �m quite lucky to have the students I have. The grass was not greener somewhere else and I appreciate my students a lot more now.
On the other hand, this teacher has decided to put all her students in the same pot. I can �t believe that all of her students are like that. I �m pretty sure we all have students with great manners and are hard-working.
