Not a single thing happened to the soccer team. |
Who made the call to let it go without punishment???? The principal, Cunningham, & Beedles - Miller most likely. Teachers don't have the backing they need to establish discipline in their rooms. If the kids see that nothing was done to the little criminals, they know they can get away with almost anything.
Here is an example. A student begins cussing & throwing things in the class room because the student got called on for an answer & didn't know it. This is not the first time the student has blown up in class. The teacher sends the kid to the office so he can continue to teach & the other students aren't hurt by the objects being thrown. The office sends him back 20 mins later. Nothing but a 'good speaking to' & a phone call to Mom was given as punishment for a disruptive, abusive, foul language blow up that has happened time & time again. The mom didn't give a hoot about what happened & was abusive on the phone with the principal. (No support there.) The behavior continues & now others feel free to act this way because they know they can get out of class & they won't be punished once they are in the office. Do you think that there is a lot of teaching & learning standards going on in that room? Would you want your kid in that room? I know I don't!
