SHOULD TEACHERS VIDEOTAPE BAD KIDS?

Posted by twistedteacher Posted on: 07/23/08

SHOULD TEACHERS VIDEOTAPE BAD KIDS?

The bandwagon is already full of people eager to tattle on teachers about every piece of unprofessional minutia they are guilty of.  Youtube is plastered with "angry teacher" videos usually filmed by a student provocateer, as unsuspecting teachers are caught in  their humanness. Like the California police claimed about the Rodney King video, we really need to understand what occured BEFORE the filming took place. You know the old cause and effect defense. Therefore, I would like to devote a page of my blog to sharing some of the ridiculous and rotten things kids and their parents do that might cause even Ghandi to lose patience. I wish I could post video or audio tape, but unfortunately that might interfere with my desire to stay employed as a teacher. So for now, I'll share in a capacity more like a police blotter. Feel free to submitt your own TRUE "tattletales" about the rotten apples you've encountered in a school setting. I'll post them on my schoolblotter page.

  • I think that would just give kids more ideas and they would turn it into a contest to see who could be the worst! More trouble! I do think it would be a good idea though to be able to tape kids' behavior in school and put it on a website where just parents can view it so they can see for themselves what their "angels" are really like in school.

  • As a former teacher I love the idea of you posting your battle stories. Oh Lord I could fill up your entire site with NYC junior high horror stories.

  • IMHO more schools need to adopt tougher policies. Kids that have repeated behavior issues need to be expelled.
