Live from the Classroom

 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.

@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.

Dan Hise said...

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

Anonymous said...

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.

It's my understanding that a student has to bring a weapon to school in order to get expelled. Otherwise, a school district loses ADA funding when students aren't counted present. I know of two Mississippi HS students who were put in alternative school - one for making a bomb threat and the other for beating an old man to death - but the alternative room was still on campus! Further, I worked next door and could hear the two student and their coach baby-sitter laughing and having a good time.

She will 100% be fired, which is a shame because she's probably the only person in the district with the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the parents and their "perfect" children and tell the truth.

May someone with common sense give this woman a job when she is undoubtedly looking for one in the coming days.

If you can't see the video, you probably have some overzealous browser extension like Ublock Origin running. Or perhaps you're using a newer version of Firefox which also seems to break some video links or any link with a social media (Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, etc.) tracker in it. You can disable these extensions on this page only and see the video if that's the problem. Or if you're using Firefox, instead try Sarari, Chrome, Edge, or Opera for this page and see if it works.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
