Some of you are enablers and apologists to an absurd degree. smh...
"I'm going to slap your ass with M&M's" and holding a desk over the teacher head acting like you're about to hit her with it is very different then goofing around and talking out in class. No one should have to go to work to worry about getting their ass kicked unless you're a boxer, police officer, military, where physical confrontation comes with the terroritory. Especially if you're an elderly lady who just wants to teach
fukk it, I'm going to say it cause all this p*ssyfooting around and pretzel logic excuses for what we see in the video is nauseating to be quite honest. I've gone to "ghetto schools" in elementary school, to normal middle class schools in middle school, to attending a pretty high end public school in wisconsin for high school. There is a vast difference in behavior of "bad behaving kids" from each one. The severity differs. IN highschool, even with subs, the worst thing that happen in class were kids being loud and talking to each other over the teacher trying to teach. In elementary school I saw a teacher get their head busted open after a kid threw a globe at his head and the metal base busted open his eye and blood splattered everywhere. Oh yeah and pretty much fight every week if not multiple times a week, while this did not exist at my other schools. Fights would break out but it wasn't fukking anarchy level shyt that you see at some of these schools
The thing is, its not a race issue as far as the cause but unfortunately it does CORRELATE along racial lines unfortunately. The main problem is as someone else said, these fukking kids parents aren't raising them. As someone said too many single parent homes living in poverty where the parent is working all the time that they can't raise their kid or guide them properly or just having parents who aren't shyt to begin with. Then this burden of issues the kid carries is put off on teachers who MAIN JOB is to teach, not raise children to not be anti-social. That is a parent's job. Its a fukking school, not a correctional facility or half-way house. This shyt should not be normal.
School is for teaching kids and educating them. Yes there is an expectation that given kids are there for 40 hours a week, teachers have some responsibility for the kids but at the end of the day you have to be realistic about expectations of teachers. Its bad enough being a parent of one bad ass kid but a parent at least understand they're the parent and there is a onus of responsibility placed on them for that. Then the parenting is supposed to take care of how the child MORE TIMES THAN NOT acts at school (some kids are hardheaded and never learn no matter what). However, a teacher, or in this case, this teacher who look elderly is having to deal with 6 bad ass kids who are not just being loud and obnoxious but acting like they're about to kick her ass. This little nikka is a 6 foot looking dude talking about he want to beat her ass and this shyt is normal to some of you dudes

?
I bet you if she goes to another school district that doesn't have these knuckleheads in them, her "lack of commanding respect" will no longer be an issue at least not to this degree.
fukk out of here with all the "kids will be kids" shyt.
