We had a first grade teacher who grabbed a kid by the back of the hair and repeatedly slammed his head off the desk. Happened a few times. Tied another kid to his chair and didn't let him go to lunch. She'd slam her apple pointer inches from your face, at least until she broke it one day. But it was first grade. We knew it wasn't right, but just not how wrong it was. Why a POS like that ever wa...

Her lawyers have said she suffers from bipolar disorder I was waiting for it, and there it is, very last line of the article. This is clearly the behaviour of someone havinga mental health crisis

Agree to disagree. This seems like perfectly reasonable behavior.

I would totally pretend to be a substitute teacher. I would teach the kids all the shit they aren't learning like trade unionism, actual socialism, everything that Republicans in America and conservatives in Canada don't want people to be learning but aren't I would try to interest the kids in.

five counts of exposing a child to harmful descriptions

Ffs! That's a RIDICULOUS "offense" if I've ever seen one šŸ¤¦šŸ»

I'm not saying that I condone any of the racist parts, of course, but COME ON! Harmful fucking DESCRIPTIONS?!

Jones is scheduled for a preliminary court hearing on October 20 and, according to the Independent, could face a maximum 21 years in prison if she is convicted. WHAT? 21 years just for pretending to be a teacher and hurling some slurs? Even murderers often get less.

Jeffrey E. Likely had less and actually harmed kids.

It seems if she was being honest about why she did it, she'd have said she enjoyed an opportunity to be racist.

You've clearly never had to console a child after they were called names that cut deep to their core.

I don't think that's significantly different from every fucking sub my kid has had in elementary school.

Mr. Blah said that if we didn't stay absolutely quiet all day that instead of going to recess, he was going ot make us all do pushups.

They're fucking first graders. go fuck yourself mr blah because empty threats aren't going to mean shit to these kids.

Substitute teacher story: at my high school, a sub teacher called Mrs. West (who every student agreed was the Wicked Bitch of the West, absolute cunt of an old woman) got fired for telling a black student, "my grandparents owned your great grandparents." I don't remember if that kid was acting up or not, it was horrible, but we were glad to see her go.

one of the few subs I actually remember was a science-substitute (his specialty was biology), and he'd bring his snakes to class and let them wander about the class room and chill with the kids.

He actually cared about the kids he was teaching.

then there was the white South African sub that spent the entire class bitching about "discrimination" because she was denied scholarships for (black) South Africans affected by apartheid. she was just bitchy. (and credit to our history teachers, they found out about it and gave us an impromptu weeklong lesson on Apartheid.)

I don't get it. If you're that annoyed by kids then why would you intentionally put yourself in a room with a bunch of them? I don't like loud kids either but that's exactly why I'm not a teacher or pretending to be one.

Slightly off-topic, but Epstein actually was a high school teacher, back in 1974 when he was 21. He taught high school kids math at the Dalton School in Manhattan, hired by the guy that ran it, Donald Barr, despite Epstein's lack of a college degree. (Donald Barr was the father of Bill Barr, the US Attorney General under Trump 1.0, and also the author of a science fiction novel about a planet ruled by oligarchs who engage in child sex slavery. You can't make it up.)

But Epstein only lasted the first academic year. His behavior was so sketchy that they were about to fire him at Dalton, when one of his student's parents got him a new gig at Bear Stearns. I have never run across anything substantive on the specifics of why he was in trouble at Dalton, just rumors of non-professional behavior and too much attention paid to specific female students.

Childfree communities hate parents. Children are just their poor choices manifest.

My partner has been in some child free communities and i saw a lot of people hating on kids. Most of the stories she'd relay were about kids being annoying with minimal mention of their parents.

My old boss was super into those groups and would post just vile, hateful stuff about kids.

I do think that child free groups are mostly about hating kids, in practice.

However, after that teacher left she allegedly proceeded to organise students by race and gender, insult them using racial slurs and derogatory statements, and use explicit language — as well as playing loud rap music and bragging about being OK with going to jail.

A 16-year-old boy in the class told authorities that she also called one student ā€˜fat boy’ and told two white pupils that ā€˜they were the type to start school shootings’, Independent reports.

I know a lot of people are going to sound off about how they had it worse when they were a kid, but mental and verbal abuse is still abuse. It was never okay, not back then, and not now. This lady doesn't even have the excuse of being old and worn out like many of the professionals in that field. She's 23, doesn't actually work in that field, just decided to show up and being abusive.

One time in fourth grade, we had a new substitute that had a system for how mad she was. Lik, y'know. She came in as a teddy bear, she said. The more mad she got, she went up in bears. So over the course of the day, she gradually went up her scale because we were rowdy, I guess, however this went down, this was a million years ago, but she became a koala then brown then black. This spurred a discussion about how black bears are usually smaller and more docile, leading to a debate, which was a mistake, questioning this woman's bear knowledge. Thus, she reached her grizzly state and slammed a textbook on the overhead projector, breaking it. We never had that substitute teacher again, but in fifth grade we got this regular sub that had alligators.

Do you know what schools have implemented in the effort to cut down on school shootings? That's the security theater I'm talking about. The security theater that should have caught this woman. If she had a gun, there would be a lot of dead students right now.

Schools are more secure than airports. It's not just theatre.

She got away with a lot because people did recognize that she belonged there and she was unarmed. And she still got lucky.

And per the school's own admission, teachers recognized her as a former student and didn't say anything at the time. There's also many ways around metal detectors, especially when the school shows that they don't follow protocols anyway.

I mean a former student definitely can be a substitute teacher

Do all white South Africans suck? I knew a guy who applied for scholarships for African Americans because he's from Africa and he's American, he was bitching about getting denied during the interview stage for obvious reasons. He knew that African American meant something specific that definitely excluded him, he's just an asshole.

I haven’t met all white South Africans… but, there does seem to a pattern.

Edit to add: it might just be the ones fleeing from the consequences of Apartheid rather than all; and it’s not like I’ve personally met that many of them. (But we can lump musk and trump’s ā€œrefugeesā€ into this pattern, too)
