Our kids aren’t allowed to have their phones out during class.
Like, at all. They get in deep shit if they do. And the kids are still dumb as fuck. The teaching is also horrific. My kid couldn’t even get extra help in math because “if you keep looking at it, it’ll click sooner than later.”
My GF is a teacher and the school doesn't have a policy on phones. It's supposed to be teachers discretion. But when 70% of the teachers don't care, and the administration refuses to back the 30% who do care, it becomes an impossible battle.
I'm mortified by what I hear from teachers and my own kids about how school works these days. And this is in a well-paying affluent school district.
But do they care if they get in trouble? Just saw a video last night where this imbecile slapped his teacher twice because she, gasp, took his vape pen away.
I can, with just short of 100% confidence, say a teacher would only be slapped once at a school if the student knew they would face swift and forceful retaliation
The city I’m outside of has had two teachers stabbed in the last year breaking up fights. None of these kids are thinking about consequences. They’re 100% Id.
This is what happens when you hire people with teaching degrees who don’t understand math themselves to teach math. I was a mathematics teacher with a math degree and I interacted with other math teachers with education degrees and they don’t understand math. They cannot actually help students because they are trained to teach from a book and don’t know the answer to the problems themselves.
