Teachers

[pawsandclaws1]

To all teachers, I admire your dedication to your students and learning. My father was a teacher, and then he taught student teachers at our local university. He was dedicated to assisting children to learn and equally dedicated to ensuring children received the best learning opportunieis. He was a hard taskmaster at university and at home with the homework🙂.

My step son is in yr 8....he copped a detention today for an hour tomorrow, but they sent home a note fpr me or his mum to sign if we agree with the detention, which they now call a "reflection session"
If we sign he gets detention, if we dont he leaves as usual.
We werent there when the reason for the detention occurred but the school system is now leaving it for us to judge as to wether hes "punished" or not (one hour big whoop)
Is this standard these days?
Are schools scared to 'punish' kids?
Imo this promotes the attitude of aome yung people these days not wanting to accept responsibilty for anything

Remembrance ceremony this morning, all kids sitting on the ground outside, my stepson had his arms on his knees and his head on his arms ie not paying attention 100%....head master said disrespect, I agree and talked to him about it this arvo, apparently a few others copped the same, fair enough imo.
I will sign the note.

Maybe its good schools are sending this back home, but i can imagine some parents wouldnt give two craps

It's called "contemplation" at my school. Parents don't like there being consequences for their perfect little darlings 🙄 It's bloody exhausting. Happy to chat with you, Ink. But from a teacher pov, please sign the note 😉

My full, ongoing respect for anyone who chooses to undertake, and manages to persist in, teaching as a profession and life pursuit. Cheers to you all!

You and your partner are bringing your step son up the right way to give him every chance to be a member of society that everyone will value.I hope the other kids who also received the same sentence get the identical result from their parents.

sign it then, depending on the value of his indiscretion, dish out your own justice. also. Parents should have and should act out more discipline then the schooling system ,same as ? grumpy old man raving with a walking stickup the street , setting values going forward .
Long answer short ,he does the time , for the other times it went ? unchecked
