Reply to Would Teachers Agree with Zero Tolerance if Applied to Them? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

And that is One teacher's opinion...And the scenario you wrote about dealt with One specific teacher...yet, the title seems to generalize, and several comments made on here seem to lump teachers into one general "Zero Tolerance Happy" group as well. Exactly. I am one of millions. On this topic you're

Ha. Yeah, I know what you mean. Last week I apparently played both the Dabe AND the Wounded Marcie cards. I've come to the conclusion that he is an asshole, and nothing but an asshole. There is absolutely NO truth to anything that anyone else says. At all. Whether you've been there or not, you're j

I, for one, don't want you calling CPS if a child has a bruise, either. No...I know that you don't. One of my little girls in my class last year was a string bean, and she and her dad were playing and he was swinging her around by the wrists and she got bruises. I wasn't worried about her welfare at a

Here is a little situation that has occurred with our school lunch time. When I got here, my principal had my schedule made up. I had NO say in it whatsoever. Half of my students are out for ESL services right before lunch, and it takes them a long time to get all those winter clothes on, being first graders. So they get back from ESL right when we're supposed to be going to lunch. That means that now that it's winter, we're ALWAYS going t

teacher with a high IQ and one with a natural talent for teaching (and I honestly believe that really good teachers have a talent that cannot be learned) I agree. The teacher next door to me last year had this conversation a billion times. Some teachers are just BORN to be teachers. Some teachers hav

Reply to On Doctors... in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Very interesting article. I think the best kinds of doctors are the ones who don't forget that their patients are humans--not animals or specimens or something--and treat them as such. I think its important for a doctor to have a heart--so when you do have to deliever bad news, you know how to empathize with that patient and his/her loved ones. Having a heart might get you hurt--but as a doctor you have to realize, too, that dying is

Yup. That happens a lot. Don't you know, Marcie? You're just an ignorant, weak, weepy woman (and a teacher at that! Only morons become teachers!) Duuuuuh, Tex. And teachers also have a less-than average IQ--you must, too, since you were leaning that direction. Maybe we should be in special education t

Jesus H Christ! Dont spout ignorance! Learn! You are a teacher. Dont speak in ignorance again! At least read my religion articles. I will address this one next since while it was mentioned in the comments, it was not the subject. I'm confused? You're goign to write an article about this over on yo

lol...Gene...you hit on the head. I taught in Clark County last year. The weather *does* go from pleasant to a little unpleasant right about now--it gets dark and grey and the desert wind gets cold. I don't remember ever being *cold* in my school, though. Clark County is so large that it's hard to keep track of who's doing what, you know? I'm not saying this is an excuse for this thing--but basically no one knows what's going o

Me, too, Tex. When I get down on JU, I blog on xanga. My girlfriends from college blog there, so if I just want them to know about something or if I need to vent, I write there. I don't appreciate when you don't agree with the mainstream, or you don't have the time nor the energy to visit every link they give you to prove THEIR point, that you are automatically assigned an IQ that's 40 points less than where you really are. I also don't app

As I am the only teacher other than IB who has responded, I am assuming it *is* about me. And you are playing your "oh...it's myrrander" game. LOL...what a dumbass. Yes Baker. You are right. As always! I am wrong. Okay? Hows that? Better? Is that what you wanted to hear? Done!:)

Steven King makes millions a year writing horrific stuff like this. But according to at least one turnip on JU, "zero tolerance" only applies to dirty Johnny who repeatedly gropes virginal Mary in the hallways. Other than that, it just aint happening. Innocent kids arent getting tossed out of school for having an aspirin

Yes, she did promise confidentiality to these students, and yes, she did break a promise... but this was shocking and disturbing content she read... how could ANY teacher turn a cheek to that? You know what's really sad...she'd probably be dragged through the mud as well if she DIDN'T say anything...she'd be criticized

typical teacher has not had to increase their education level to nearly the same extent I disagree. It wasn't so long ago that teacher education consisted of apprenticing with the one-room schoolhouse teacher for a few weeks. Then a teaching certificate progressed to a one-year post-secondary educatio

Today's public school teachers, by and large, simply aren't very intelligent compared to the general population anymore. That is the rudest drivel I've ever read. Have you administered IQ tests to public school teachers and compared them with those of the "general public". It's bullshit, Brad. It's

Reply to Stop Scaring Off Would-Be Bloggers! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I suggest it's time we go back to that: pick new blogs of interest and spotlight them for bloggers on this site to discover their sites. After all, we all had a hand one way or another in getting as far as we have in the blogging community; giving back wouldn't be a bad idea. Plus, with something positive to blog about it could k

Meh...I tend to think that mostly any Virgin Mary stuff is crap, myself. I don't understand the Catholic hoopla about her. She gave birth to the Son of God. Okay...I don't know why that means that Catholics have to pray to her or through her or whatever. Weep away, baby. ~shrugs~
