You do not let a kid engage in sports, cheerleading, drill team etc. UNLESS they get approval from every single teacher they had the previous year ( we use to call that conduct grade)<br /><br />At elite white schools, you can apply such consequences. At districts like JPS, just try to take a privilege away that everyone else has and Baby Boy is going to be on the phone to Mama immediately and Mama gon' show up at your classroom door. The administration is NOT going to enforce the collection of a fee - remember, the kids are "disadvantaged"-, nor the requirement that students do their work. As a principal told me, the kids might drop out if you make school too hard...and that's a loss of funding for the school. You can't keep a student after school as they have to ride the bus. And some schools FORBID the issuance of conduct grades. Work in poor or minority district and tell us how successful you were.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-22334962892124209132016-08-09T09:56:44.117-05:002016-08-09T09:56:44.117-05:006:10. this is 12:35, thanks for the help.

That is to get a good education so they can be more successful later in life. Children have a hard time learning in an unruly classroom. Even those who want to learn are handicapped by the children who do not want to learn who disrupt the class and keep the teacher from doing their job.<br /><br />School is not INTENDED TO BE a free child care. It SHOULD not BE a place for children to come to for the free food. Schools SHOULD BE for learning. Anything that stops the process MUST be dealt with swiftly. Children who cannot be controlled MUST be removed so the children who do want to learn can do so.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05673810827616305193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-11662379294894300382016-08-08T10:13:38.340-05:002016-08-08T10:13:38.340-05:00If you , as a parent or a teacher, can't outsm...If you , as a parent or a teacher, can't outsmart a child , then you are too stupid to contribute to raising children.<br /><br />I agree. Today too many grown people, I can't call them adults, don't really want their children in the first place. As soon as possible they put them in care of the schools or the streets. Anyplace other than the home. Then they yell when someone else tries to control their feral kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-92088909291125172482016-08-08T08:05:06.346-05:002016-08-08T08:05:06.346-05:00Oh Good Grief...

You need clear, age appropriate rules and boundaries that are clearly understood and consistently enforced. You do NOT need to teach children that brute strength trumps mental toughness and cleverness. Therefore, no one uses physical punishment, but you take away privileges ,issue fines, require work on campus . You reward those who perform up to expectations. You do not let a kid engage in sports, cheerleading, drill team etc. UNLESS they get approval from every single teacher they had the previous year ( we use to call that conduct grades).<br /><br />This is just more muddying up the waters for political gain and the public is so caked in mud from both sides, they can't see that our democratic republic has been lost. We are an oligarchy now. Dozens of sentences over the years in laws took your freedoms away while you argued nonsense.<br /><br />If you , as a parent or a teacher, can't outsmart a child , then you are too stupid to contribute to raising children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-38071485776376778512016-08-08T04:06:45.180-05:002016-08-08T04:06:45.180-05:00@6:41, you left out an S.

As long as teachers are afraid of their student, nothing good can happen in school. As long as students respect their teachers then good educations will result for the majority. Once upon a time the term "self-esteem" was not around. It was self-respect and that is what dicipline gives to a child. Indulgence gives "self-esteem".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-10988718408895176202016-08-07T13:09:31.690-05:002016-08-07T13:09:31.690-05:00If Ms Goodman is so critical of those "low se...If Ms Goodman is so critical of those "low self esteem" students who "identify with their oppressors", perhaps she should spend some quality time with a group of enlightened, empowered youths who have not toiled under the oppressive rules of strict schooling.
