Some mess about some mess took place at Callaway High School a few days ago and JPD was called to the school. A fed-up teacher had enough and voiced her thoughts about certain elements on social media.
Kingfish note: Not arguing with one thing she said.

Government run schools are a failure.
Students wearing hats and hoodies inside, students on cell phones, teacher dressed like an 80s punk rocker. Maybe the first step to improving the school's environment is going back to the basics?
Have low expectations and get low results.
I agree with most of what she said, with one glaring omission.
Not one word was said about the parent(s) of the children, and their responsibility in rearing kids to not act like this.
PERFECT!
She is right on point! Good influence on her students!
Preach. Amen.
This is the disadvantage of compulsory education and public schools. The ones who want to learn are mocked and disrupted by the low IQ thugs and troublemakers. The low IQers make fun of them for "acting white" and too many white teachers in urban areas who don't teach in the real world are on a social agenda which diminishes society rather than these teachers attempting to improve society and give the kids a future other that dope, drank, and dysfunction.
And, BTW, they are NOT "overpaid." You couldn't pay me enough to be Mr. Garvey or whatever.
And deliberate disruption and chaos are indeed the goals of the low IQ set and their politicized masters. No grandmothers in the projects were calling for less cops or less stop and frisk. Nor were they calling for DeFund the Police. Same here. Good for her.
I say DeFund Public Schools and let parents use that tax money where schools are safe and maybe someone can pray and not have purple haired teachers or woke awareness as the agenda instead of learning and civilized behavior.
Dumb phones are for smart people. Get rid of cellphones in schools. They are the source of bullying, violence, and torture for normal kids trying to learn and grow up.
Depends on the government. Clinton and thousands of others seem to do a pretty decent job of it.
I love this woman.
First off, Calloway isn't the only school that has a issue with children and cell phones. If you weren't so focused on appearance then you might have actually heard the message that was clearly stated. Secondly, who gives AF if the teacher dresses like a 80's punk rocker. Her students obviously respect her and are engaged.

I believe she was addressing the parents. Did the "your children" comment no clue you in? Regardless the problem with public schooling is that they can't do much to the problem children. They can't kick them out. They can barely put them in alternative school (if that's even an option anymore).
Not surprised most of the comments are attacking the teacher's appearance instead of listening to the actual message. What else can you expected from the SAVE JXN crowd.
She's right. The problems at JPS are caused by a minority of bad apples who are allowed to have too much influence on the entire school. If these would be thugs and their "parents" could be isolated or even removed these schools would be great. It can be done.
This lady is the kind of teacher successful people look back on 20 years later and thank from the podium.
Teachers need to be able to remove certain problem students from the classroom, and administration needs to back them up on it.
Yep. It all starts at home. Most of these kids are coming from a fatherless home with 5 or 6 other siblings that were all raised on welfare by a mother that did not care. We can thank FDR for a lot of the mess we are in.
We love you. I am a 1976 graduate & would never act up, nor disrespect a teacher! Both parents would set me straight on that!
I agree with all she said. However, it is concerning that we have teachers with such poor grammatical skills in our classrooms.
Bear with me for a moment. If anyone - students, parents, teachers, administrators, anyone in the legislative, executive, or judicial branches of government, unions, organizations, associations, etc. - suggested that each student should have their own old-fashioned _telephone_ at their disposal for every minute they were on school property, the vast majority of people would call that crazy. Similarly, if any suggested each student should have their own old-fashioned "TV," the vast majority would call it crazy. If any suggested that every student should have their own game console, walkie-talkie, movie camera, boom box, etc., again, it would be labeled craziness. If any suggested that every student should have every one of those things, it would be dismissed as insane foolishness. Yet when technology advances to the point all of these distractions and mis-incentivizing objects are now available in a single hand-held device, only a handful of any of above-named (allegedly) responsible parties makes even a mild protest.
This is not an old boomer being a Luddite. Having "computers" in the classrooms could and should be an educational asset, but if the (alleged) purpose of a thing - be it a book or a handheld device - is education, then its use should be restricted to its purpose. It should not be surprising to anyone that people, especially young people, are distracted by...constant distractions. Nor should it surprise anyone that something that incentivizes bad or inappropriate behavior will result in bad or inappropriate behavior.
There have always been students who needed more attention because of their lack of discipline. Those students require a more structured system to help them to succeed, and not hinder other students.
In my opinion, the old military style school system should be brought back. Teachers are forced to deal with children that may have never had an adult to correct them. Teaching is difficult enough without them being a disciplinarian.
Girl, preach it!
@11:44. I strongly agree. I am an adjunct at a university here in Mississippi, and I see many students that are not prepared for college level work. I assume that they are just getting "passed" to get them to the next level.
Right on, 11:50. And I would be happy to have this extraordinary woman teaching my children.
This is the second post on this subject this week and the second time I don't see a thing. All the other posts on this site seem to be coming through just fine. Is there some technical difference with these two posts that is not compatible with Xfinity? I have been reading this site for 10 or 15 years and never had a problem like this before.
No idea, I see it fine on apple, android, and windows.

Personally, I would place more of the blame on LBJ's "Great Society".
I was watching a great, black and white movie today that starred Robert Mitchum in an Academy Award-nominated performance.I looked up his biography. Turns out he was a rowdy teenager who was expelled from two separate high schools for fighting. Does anyone get expelled for bad behavior these days?
Educational malpractice
Compulsory education is a scam to keep the dollars rolling in. If the parents don't raise their children to respect a "government" employee or staff, they'll NEVER respect anyone else. Pipeline to prison....another government scam to keep the dollars rolling.
