teacher-student dilemma
recently i’ve discovered the education wonks, a blog that reports on teacher-student interaction that makes the news.
this particular post hits home, if only because i have a student who has mooned an entire class and thinks it’s her right to be at that school and no one can do anything about it. it hits home because i understand the position of the school, and i applaud their guts in standing up for common decency and not letting any student get away with anything. the message that they are sending is loud and clear - they will not tolerate this behavior. it’s a message i wish our school could send our students.
the student who is suing the school? breaking the rules and acting inappropriately in class somehow gains him the right to sue the school? the sad thing is, i’m scared he might win. and the students will continue acting in whichever way they want because the law protects them from being disciplined.
how are teachers and schools supposed to enforce their rules when there are so many laws protecting the students? you can’t even fail a student who comes to class with no intention of taking notes and/or participating if you don’t provide a pencil and paper for him everyday, since he has a right to a -free- education. failing him would be a violation of his rights because you did not provide the pencil and paper to make it “free”. in my opinion he should have to work for his free education (and by work i mean try - take notes, participate, attend every day, etc) but we are expected to spoon feed it to them because it is their right to learn without spending any money (or time or effort, it seems).
not all the students are that way, and i have a great bunch. it’s just that when our hands are tied and we for whatever reason cannot enforce our own rules, we create an environment that allows the students to say, “boooyah! look what i did! what are you going to do about it?!?!? i’m gonna call my mom!” and then their parents come in and argue and save them from their own consequences.
and yes, that has happened before.
may the school win the lawsuit.
