fucking sick...

turns out the teacher had anger problems before she had started the job.
now how did the school district not check for this? she had slashed a woman's tires with a knife but never arrested. the women has not been put behind bars for this one either.

...yep looks like a corrupt system to me

Teachers are union. They don't check for things in a union.
If you wanna be a teacher, you can be shitty as fuck - doesn't matter you'll still get paid the same and you can't get fired.

She'll be off the hook faster than you can blink.

Agreed.

Besides the union thing you'd think the school district would check though. It's a public job dealing with the young people of the US. Just think if her before metal health was worse then what it was before who knows what could of happened

I think it's cute how you think the public education system actually cares about the students.
Okay, done with the sarcasm. XD

They should, but they don't. Their job isn't to care, their job is just to be a place where your parents can dump you for 7 to 8 hours a day. They don't care about us, they have no incentive to care about us. They get their payments through our property taxes - even by those who don't even have kids (a portion of all property taxes goes to the school - all of it, therefore if you don't have a kid your property taxes pay for the schools).

There's no risk of being let go if they do a crappy job, they all get paid the same so there's no need to work harder, not to mention all the money that goes to pay for security offers as well.

Now, I do believe that charter schools are a bit different - not to the extent of a private school. Generally charter schools are better but not as good as private as I believe property taxes also help pay for charters - but so do the parents. I also believe they are still a union, whereas private schools are not.

But it wasn't just the teacher, there were other people in the room - at least enough to take her down. But rather, from what I could hear, they were chanting her on.

I desagree. Publics school are good. Some are even better than private school. Cause they have to work with all the kids they get wheres private school can kick you out if they don't like you. Public school CAN'T.

I went to a publics and I got a good education and my teachers cared about us. Not all of them,, but most did. And many of my friend going in private school were saying the same thing... some teachers didn't really care about them but most of them did.
But I guess we don't live in the same world.

I'm quite sure your schools are different in Canada, boy.
Such as in Japan, it's the exact opposite - the systems are the same, but they are called differently.
A public school in Japan is a private school in America and vice versa.
There, you are placed in a school depending on your grades - if you don't make it in then your parents pay to send you to a lower class school. Basically, if you want to get into a private school in America, you're parents pay a fee but you have to behave and keep your grades up.
With public schools, the education is lower class because they have to teach down to the lowest common denominator.

If you're in a school where everyone makes high scores, you get taught on a higher level. Not like in public schools.

Oh my gosh, working to get a better education - the idea is just so - aw fuck it, I'm pissed and don't feel like being sarcastic.
They can't kick you out for that reason, you have to keep your grades up in order to stay - you also have to behave.


I went to a public school. It sucked. It was horrible. Everyone there was an idiot and my IQ dropped because I was there so long.
I was born smart, school made me dumb. They never taught anything relevant to anything - they preached shit but never taught.

For the record Public Schools in America aren't as bad as the rep they're given.

But I should be specific and say "not ALL public schools are that bad".

Also, just because teachers must teach at the lowest level to make sure they cover all the bases, does not make them bad teachers. They are doing what they have to do.

This is why most high schools offer 'advanced' or 'college prep' classes, in which you can actually study at a higher level.

Personally, however, if I have kids, they will be in private schools. But that is more based on the fact I do not agree with what is being taught in public (or the lack thereof) schools these days.

this is nothing compare with students fight
you'll see blood in everywhere
you'll see Bruises on each one
i didn't join to one
i don't like fighting
i feel if i do that something bad will happened

I head someone laughing
maybe they like to see their friend got beaten

Well it said at first everyone thought it was all a joke... so its humorous and people laugh.. till they realize what's really happening..

I dunno, I'm more of a pacifist in regards to it all.
