In Thursday’s, June 23, 2011, issue of ”Time” an article emerged that ought to clarify an immense deal of what I have been referring to over the past few years. The article, “Why Students Have a Right to Mock Teachers Online” illustrates perfectly the ignorance our society has developed into concerning children.
It appears children are too juvenile and naive to be disciplined or punished, however they nevertheless should have the identical rights as adults. Actually they are given the right to be disrespectful, disruptive and rude because of their immaturity.
What’s more, this is in light of a teacher in Chicago facing discipline procedures for manufacturing comments concerning a student on Facebook. So students have rights, but teachers do not. This teacher remarked on a girl’s hair, whereas one student referred to the principal’s body size and the other made lewd sexual interpretations about her principal.
Obviously I am not declaring either one right; actually they BOTH are in the wrong and there ought to be certain disciplines. However, the courts becoming mixed up and commanding the school to rescind their punishment for the students conveys the precise contradictory position we require to send our youth.ADULTS NEED TO LEAD AND YOUTH NEED TO FOLLOW… THAT IS WHAT MADE AMERICA GREAT!!!!
I am taking next week off, however I will return Tuesday the 5th of July…
HAPPY 4TH, BE SAFE AND REMEMBER THE CHILDREN.
