People my age who constantly need to be humored. At this stage in life you should be fully assured and certified.   ;)

DUMB BOSSES!  I am so glad friday is my last day.

my boss is an asshole!!!!

[aMD]

I got a new kid today and he is killing the culture of my classroom.  He has a checkered past to say the least.  I'd like to help him but at this point in the year I'd rather focus on teaching.  AWWW!!!

Isn't that just a small mircrocosm of what's wrong with this world?  One fucking ass hole ruins so much shit for the rest of us.  The lowest common denominator.  Just like so many of the laws in this country have been developed because a few jackasses can't handle responsibility.  So we have to be told by our government what we can and cannot do.  >:(  Sorry, mini rant.

No I totally hear you.  It pisses me off. I have 24 kids I am responsibile for and they are going to be so worse off now because of this kid.  Not only because of his behavior but because of the time and energy I have to spend dealing with his bullshit.  I mean, I feel bad for the kid, but I really feel bad for the other 24 kids in my class.  This kid is B-A-D BAD.

But, like you're saying BH, this shit totally happens in real life, so the other kids are learning a valuable lesson: you have to suffer because other people suck, it's not fair, but too bad, deal with it (okay, that's a run-on sentence but it's been a long day folks!)

amen brotha.

AMD- I feel for you. As much as I hate that I'm not teaching, I really do not miss that. I still have to deal with it in the corp. world, though.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  :'( goddamn! :'(

Good Lord what a terrible couple of posts. My complaint is whiners and "teachers" who say they have a  student that "sucks".

oh, and elitists. Can't stand elitists.

you guys must be perfect.

[aMD]

seriously dude, you've gotta be kidding me!  You're calling me an elitist?  What gives me the moral high ground to call me that?  This kid jumped on the principal's desk, pulled out his penis, and pissed on his last teacher.  He runs out of the school as a habit and when picked up by the school counsellor kicked out her windows.  He throw the stuff off my desk and yell at me that white people are stupid.  In five days he has threatened 10-15 children and hit, kicked, or punched five.  But I suppose I'm a horrible teacher teacher because I'm frustrated that this behavior is happening to the determent of 24 other children's education. Get off your high fucking horse and give me a break!

Horrible teacher? Who said you were a horrible teacher? Please re-read my post; I'm not sure you are totally responding to just me here.

No, you said "teacher" as if, what?  you tell me?  You're not going to play this one off like I'm over reacting here, you plainly were trying to insult me and put me down. I re-read your post and you're the elitist.  Why don't you re-read the post?

You can read whatever you want to into "teacher" (and I would look long and hard into why you took it to the "horrible" place, considering I never said that). I work with very difficult and dangerous and disruptive kids, and the LAST thing I do is put them down and say they "suck"; you do that and you're doomed (unless you plan on "teaching" angels your whole life). You may not think you are "teaching" all the other kids that this kid "sucks" (and you are re-enforcing it with the kid), but you are.
And that's probably not your job or what you learned in school (unless you went to a school where they teach you to treat the "good" kids better than the "bad" kids).

I happen to disagree with saying a young person "sucks", PERIOD.

Just like you never said horrible teacher.  I never said the students sucks, never!  Re-read my posts.  Maybe YOU need to think long and hard about why YOU took it there.  I never said he SUCKS you said it.  And I know you work with troubled kids, you remind us at every fucking turn so that you can remind us that you are morally superior to those who don't, you fucking elitist.  

And you can drop the Freud psycho-babble about the horrible shit.  I am a great teacher and I know it.  I don't have to list my credenials for you but I assure you, I am.

"so the other kids are learning a valuable lesson: you have to suffer because other people suck"  

sorry, not sure how I thought you were implying that the kid in your classroom "sucks".  My bad.

"And I know you work with troubled kids, you remind us at every fucking turn so that you can remind us that you are morally superior to those who don't, you fucking elitist." Wow! Every turn, huh?

Man, you got a chip on your shoulder about the size of Connecticut.

you've said that to me before.  you need to get some new material, dude.

[ycartrob]

aMd, I am not trying to fuck with you and I am sorry (seriously) you had a bad day; I had teachers growing up who thought I sucked and it hurt (and I acted out to show them I didn't care, when I really did).

I just can't stand adults who put young people down.

Do I take this shit too far and try to push buttons? Yes, I do. But the bottom line is to think outside the box and look at the world from the kid's perspective and not the empowered adult. If you think this kid is bad, then he will be bad. Pull something (anything) positive from him or he controls you and your classroom.

this would be a different conversation in person. I'm really not a dick (well...) and I get very passionate about certain stuff.

i've just been less vocal about my edge recently.  hopefully i can ramp back up to vermont in the near future.  (why is it only east coast states?)

after getting a PM from aMd saying he would "punch me in the teeth" for my comments, I think I am going to retire from this silliness.

You got some huge issues pal and I hope you don't physically assault someone and lose your teaching gig. You really seem like you have some anger issues and can't handle criticism. Good luck man.
