Boy, 5, records teacher berating him in class

[CubanSucks]

There are kids that are just tough to deal with. No matter what you try to do to fix the problems, nothing works. Teachers, even schools, are limited in the ways they can discipline kids. It's even worse when the parents won't cooperate with the school. Some of you may not understand the frustrations of dealing with kids who just don't care and have at ude problems.

>chronically disruptive kid in class
>teacher disciplines kid to the best of their ability
>kid gets put right back in that class after a few days of detention/suspension
>kid miraculously doesn't change after their "discipline"
>the school's higher ups never up the punishment do to fear of parents taking legal action or even complaints and community outcry
>class productivity goes down

I laugh every time I hear people on the news talking about public school choice and how it's a solution. What would happen in a perfect society: those kids who never give a damn about their grades and making a scene in class get kicked out of ing school and get a head start at working at McDonalds.

for the people who've never worked in education or who went to very nice schools, they don't believe that some kids just don't care to learn. To them there's always something that can be done to get them to be interested. This is the failed mentality behind 'no child left behind'

From the testimony in this thread, it's quite clear that little kid is a head. The teacher handled it diplomatically, calling upon the kid's classmates to draw his attention to his ty behavior when he clearly doesn't listen to teachers (and his parents obviously have set no boundaries for him). That boy did not belong in that classroom, and the parents are lucky he wasn't kicked out earlier.

So I wonder, where are the people in this story now?

Yeah. I didn't even think of that

"Now, baby. You gotta make mommy and daddy a little more prouder today. I know you can do it, honeybear. Here's a yummy candy bar for you loaded with sugar to help you make mommy and daddy more mon, I mean, more prouder. Mommy loves you. Muah"

You're exactly right. I'm lucky that I have a 12 yr old daughter that has the fear of God in her. She doesn't even say bad words, which I hear kids throw out a lot these days. Bad parenting = Bad kids

I guarantee you your kid says bad words. She's probably just smart enough not to say them around you.

I don't see anything wrong with what the teacher said. It's all true probably

this is stupid.
