The Lovely Job of Being Substitute Teacher

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/11/09/video-show-philadelphia-teacher-knocked-out-by-student/

This is nothing new to my area at all

Philly schools are just shitty

I couldn't imagine sending kids to these public schools, which is sad because my mom always told me how better they were back in the 70s

If you're lucky ur kid will get accepted to a school for the gifted or another top tier academic institution. They have their own flaws but you NEVER hear about shit like this

And while people frown upon the idea of schools being a pipeline to prison, these stories don't make it any easier to change that

No respect for authority whatsoever

 

Filthadelphia.

 

Seriously wtf is going on with these students

Like I said, I'd never make a conscious decision to raise kids in philly

It's not too bad if ur an adult (ok who am I kidding..people are being kidnapped) but if ur looking for a prospective school district....

Do

Not

Want

 

What is going on with these students...can be traced back to a lack of and/or bad parenting. No child accountable to an actively participating parent or parents in their life, would dare behave in this manner.

 

A simple ass stomping is what this kid needs.

 

Something is up.....shit....I wouldn't dare think about hitting anyone, let alone a teacher

My mom and grand parents would tear my ass up, lol

Yes...I came from a family of spankers and I turned out proper

Forget all that psycho babble that says otherwise

Just better watch out for that one-hitter quitter

 

The man is 68.
geez glad I ain't over there not that Houston is better.

Forget Houston

Philly is desperately trying to keep pace with Chicago

 

holy crap
You guys have metal detectors. I would never send my kids to philly. That's too much.

 

For once I'd just like to see an asian kid knock out a teacher

Damn model minorities

 

Lol what.....you mean metal detectors aren't standard issue nationwide?



I told u I'd never send my kids to public school in philly...shit is just too damn real and ain't gettin no better

 

oy my spelling...

I have only heard of that crap never have I seen it in a school.

 

Metal detectors were common back in the 90s when I was coming up

Sadly we don't typically hear about issues with violence in school, until some random........infrequent incident where a kid decides to shoot up the place

Then you have month long discussions trying to figure out what went wrong

The fact of the matter is that public schools are violent places year round, especially in the inner cities and really need more attention and debate

Why pay taxes for a school system you wouldn't send ur children to?

 

68? Oh my goodness. He could have killed him. He probably has a concussion.

I hope Eric Holder sees this before he bails.
I'm betting this isn't the student's first rodeo with abhorent or violent behavior. You don't go from zero to 60 and feel that emboldened to knock a teacher out.
But because the DOJ now investigates teachers for wanting to suspend or expell, they have likely been hesitant to punish him harshly.

I bet no video, and he would have gotten a suspension only.

 

Wonder why the stereotypes

 

It's so hard being a teacher in an inner city school, when you're dealing with the truly hard rock cases among the student population.

Still even among inner city schools most students who actually ATTEND classes everyday aren't the problem.

Where things get tricky is when you're dealing with that borderline criminal element or gangbangers who go to school to pass time from hustling on the streets.

As bad as it was seeing that 68 year get knocked out, that's still a freak occurrence.

I know in D.C. several schools have private security and sometimes D.C. POs cruising the hallways just to keep things in check.

Damn shame but in many cases it's a necessity.

IMO the charter schools should be used to warehouse all those knucklehead kids bringing down the overall learning experience for everyone else.

Let the legitimately striving students stay at the public schools.

 

Don't you guys do vouchers or something? I'm sure that parents that are sending their kids to private schools have their taxes going there.

Times like this has me hoping that I can make enough to home school or hire a private teacher.

 

The violence and madness isn't a freak occurrence when your schools have notorious reputations

I grew up in philly and went to these schools

They're fucking war zones that I would hope no kid would have to endure
