The principal just sat there. Disgusting.
That was eight years ago. I think the student graduated last year and now is working at Wal-Mart. |
Seems to be a common issue - it's more important to them to avoid being sued than to enforce the rules. One of the poor classroom aides, in her 60's, was shoved by one of the little punks. She landed on her knee and slid down the hallway on her knee for a good 10 seconds. She needed knee surgery and was out of work for about 6 weeks. Guess what the principal said?! You're gonna love this one. We needed to expect that type of behavior from these children due to their difficult home lives. In addition, she tried to force the aide to use her paid time off, instead of putting it through workers comp. Are you effen kidding me??!! It was at that moment that I realized I had already wasted enough time in school for teaching (I was almost done). I finished out the school year and told them I wouldn't be back in the fall.
