So you want to be a teacher!
Starting with the 2020 school year, a new California state law will make it illegal to suspend students for disobeying their teachers (https://www.kget.com/news/state-news/california-public-schools-cant-suspend-students-for-disobeying-teachers-new-law-says/?fbclid=IwAR2QG91Q1DWFdYRyuOTFBzyIP6HZvhaOC0mcqNamb-_pdH3PqBkHukqZJ7M). What an idea!
This will apply in 2020 to kids in grades 1-6. In 2021 through 2025, it will be expanded to cover students in grades 6-8.
The “reason,” as the virtue-signaling legislators call it, is because suspension for misbehavior is “disproportionately used against students of color.”
As a former teacher, I can’t imagine the chaos that will ensue. Suspension is a next-to-last resort, expulsion being the last resort, for getting disruptive students out of the classroom so that some education, at least, can go on. To discard that disciplinary measure is to give up all hope of maintaining order. And don’t tell me I’m wrong, because I’ve been there, done that.
Of course, none of these Far Left Crazy legislators will ever have to worry about trying to teach in a classroom where hooligans run wild. Nope, they’re perfectly safe from the consequences of their actions. They usually are. They make sure of that.
Government by liberals means ruin.
I was considering being a teacher…..
Don’t try it in California.
Yeah, I know.
They would be amazed if they could tune in on a classroom that existed when I went to school, and even more if they could visit one of my mother’s classrooms. The kids were all terrified of one of the teachers back then. Now, not even parents are allowed to discipline their own kids.
When I was recently in California on business, several people told me how they no longer prosecute misdemeanor theft and that shoplifting has become a plague. I imagine that this new law will do for schoolrooms what they’ve already done for retail.
That state is about to descend into chaos.
When I encounter students when subbing who disrupt the class, they are almost 100% of color. So observing this, and then commenting on it, I guess that’s makes me a racist – such stupidity. The only solution is private and home education. The Home-School movement in Arkansas is alive, well, and growing in leaps and bounds – yea!
They’ve learned that liberals don’t expect them to behave themselves.
California education is so broke
