Im not sure of the whole story but heard about it on CNN last night. If thats what she really did than that is fucked up.
Right. teacher should have addressed the behaviors, and voted the behaviors out of class.
Not the kid.
Kinda like the Cumdumsters on the Politics board who attack the messenger, and not the message.
Doing what the Teach to a 5 year child can have a damaging effect that can affect emotional growth. The Teacher made a mistake.
The kid was too young to resort to doing something like that. It shows the Teacher lacks skill or education needed to manage and teach 5 year olds.
Huh?
You eating those funny corn flakes again?
The kid has aspbergers (sp?). No amount of scolding would change that. I'm wondering if the parents disclosed it or if he should have even been in that class.
Teachers single out kids everyday for disruptive behavior, by moving their card, writing their name on the board, or sending them to time-out.
In this particular case, the teacher was trying to teach grade K kids how to act, and how not to act.
Teacher was stupid to 'vote someone out'. However, you'll see this all the time in schools, where groups will address behaviors. "What does johnny do that makes you upset, susie"?, etc.
BB, can you twinkle your nose and create an elementary ed degree so you'll know what you're talking about here? Mine is actually real, son ;)

Of course i didn't read that the student didn't have AS. Skimming is a bad habit.
That makes it even worse. My Son (17) has a mild form of AS.
The Parents should have informed the school or Teachers of their child's condition. If they had and the Teacher did what they did, then the Teacher should be fired immediately. If it was my son, I'd have the Teacher fired in a heart beat.
On top of all that, one of the TEacher's job in Kindergarten is teaching social skills. The Teacher failed and should be reeducated.
You have an elementary education degree?? [stifling laughter]
So when did you get fired?
I taught elementary, then middle, then adult computer education as I earned my computer certifications and an AS in Computer networking and became a school netadmin. Then, a college hired me to do 1/3 of their university website, and paid for my MBA, and I went for it.
Stifle your laughter. Mock my degree, and mock the fact I work from home. Most dads would love to have the opportunity to work from home 4 hours a day and make a good living, and spend the other hours playing with their children. As you get up and put on your tie for work each day, I have some OJ in my slippers and decide if I want to play in the pool, or just watch cartoons.
good job! :)
thanks man. I used to have delusions of getting a record deal and getting rich. Then I had plans to work for a big company, got a summer internship at a law firm and ended up managing a big dotnetnuke programming project. hated it. hated meetings, hated corporate life.
I'll never be a millionaire, and I'm okay with that. And teaching elementary school was seriously fun, I gotta tell you. Kids are happy, they are optimistic about life. I miss those days sometime, but it just wasn't for me.
If you weren't such a liberal whore you'd be happy
You sound "emboldened" to me.
Are you an iraqi warlord, posting from the baghdad amusement park?
You support Obama, don't you? He's muslim, you know...
I support Obama becuase he supports surrender.
So what ever you draw from that, you are probably right. I have to clean my AK now.
You guys need to stop flirting.
Sounds like you'd like to start a liberal orgy. We can disguise it as the "American Haters" ball.
Yes. Stifle your laughter. You admitted you were a high school dropout here, and patted yourself on the back for overcoming such great odds in building a business up. Later, when conversationally convenient, you became a college professor instantly.

Geeze Louise. What a drama queen.
Yes, she should have had the class elect representatives, then allow them to be paid off by the rich kids in the class to "vote" on whether he stays or goes.
