bootleg11 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I dunno what can and can't be said on this site. But parenting (lack thereof) and political correctness/wokeness have completely stunted kids' emotional maturity. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBizzle Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 It starts at home. We all know it. The family unit in 2022, for many kids, is broken. Kids are not receiving the correct upbringing. They are saying middle school, so are we talking about 8th graders? I am not sure how Cy-Fair is set up. So we are talking 13-14 year old boys?! It's a sad commentary on where we are today. Thank the Lord there are a lot of good kids out there, so I don't want to turn this in to a rant about the younger generation. Clearly, we have a lot of room for improvement in how we are raising our youth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefBoy63 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 This is just sad. Reports said all he was doing was telling kids that they couldn't ride dirt bikes or 4wheelers on school property and it turned into that. I am not sure what is going on with kids these days but it needs to change and I am going to say it needs to start at HOME. The lack of respect for adults/teachers is going to force teachers out of the profession. Which would then force class sizes for the teachers that do stay to grow and all of the behavior issues in those classes to worsen. Things are only going to get worse instead of better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARDEDGOAT Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Why would anybody want to teach or coach anymore? Coaches work 100 hours a week for 40-50k dollars just to be disrespected all day. That's why there is such a teacher shortage and why there will continue to be so until public education crumbles or has a huge turn around. Like you guys said the home front is killing the discipline and manners which is really affecting schools and sports. Its not the kids fault its the parents. However, it is what it is and teachers are getting the bad end of the deal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Rab Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Let adults retaliate and this #### won't happen again. The moment he ran, is the moment he lost. I would have gone to jail in a big heaping pile of 14 year old whoop ass if those kids attacked me. Never work in a school again? #### schools if you have to stand there and let that happen. Dog cussed by a student and they are back in your class 3 days later? #### that administration. They should be forcefully removed by my hired hitmen in the Canadian Government. I swear to you, let one of these HS kids attack me. My 250lb ### will walk again proud that I stood up for myself while being hauled off to jail. However, there is an approach you can take to avoid a lot of this conflict. As coaches, we always want to be the alpha bad ###... but with these insane kids, you can take a calmer more logical approach to avoid these situations. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There woulda been a at least 2 punk kids going to the dentist if it happened to me. If they wanna bring charges, so be it but I don’t see a jury anywhere that would convict for self defense even if they are kids, or at least I’d hope not. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote me if I am wrong, but if you swing or violently attack a student, even in self defense, the TEA automatically suspends your license pending a review.

That’s a sad day for teachers. That needs to be changed. If a jury finds not fault because of self defense, then you shouldn’t be punished by the school. I mean all I would have to do is watch the video, see that he attempts to leave the situation and then conclude that he had no other choice but to defend himself.

I think that would be fair as long as they are still paid. I would agree that if a teacher puts hands on a student then a thorough investigation is warranted. Had this teacher beat their face in, then his license should be reinstated following the investigation, and those thugs should never again set foot in a school.

If the student or there parents won’t allow it, kick their butts out of school. When I was young and got in trouble at school, it was much worse when I got home. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonG Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I agree with cowboyandChrist. We need to put fear in these kids. If not they will continue to do what they do. I'm a firm believer in busting that but if it warrants it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was young and got in trouble at school, it was much worse when I got home. Exactly. Most kids don't care if they get in trouble. Parents don't want to deal with them at home. At the school I work at, the kids would honestly rather be in ISS because they get to do what they want. They get to sit at computers and "do their work", which usually turns into playing games that aren't blocked or watching YouTube. A lot of schools won't let coaches be the ISS teacher. They pay a paraprofessional to do it because it is cheaper to pay a para than a certified teacher. From my experience, it makes the discipline in ISS less so the kids don't care if they go there because it is like a free day to them. Another problem with the school I am at, AEP is full, so kids get in a fight or something in school then they no longer get sent to AEP, they only get sent to ISS. We have had more fights in school this year than the previous 3 years combined. Things are getting ridiculous. But what is there to stop them when they can't do anything more than go to ISS and play on a computer all day? No real consequences for their actions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't they continue to do so? BS, some charter schools do suck, however they're are many that are out preforming public options. So if someone doesn't like the school that the government chose for them, then they should move their entire family? Wow. Now that's some choice! Private schools can do what they want to do. Why do you think that so many public students would flock to private if it was financially feasible? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public schools educate everyone who comes to their door including the fragile autistic anyone that is who I challenge you to show me some data on your charter school claims? Here is some of the research and facts https://dianeravitch.net/2020/10/05/analysis-of-texas-charter-schools/ Private schools can choose to accept who they want. Do you really think they would accept special education students with severe disabilities? Let me pick and choose who I let in and I can be great at whatever the game is or activity I am not here to say that public schools are perfect Or that all public schools do not have areas to improve on I am just telling you there are some of those politicians that you mention get big campaign donations from some entities To open this new revenue stream up to them so they can profit from it.
