There’s a word for somebody who gets off on “fucking with people,” and it’s like, right at the tip of my tongue. Somebody help me out here.
(For inspiration, consider the precocious red-headed brat who trawls for attention by hitting on his teacher.)
Unlike Diane, I sometimes indulge your visual vomitus, the way one’s eyes are drawn to the making of a gelding; if however you’re posting “to fuck with people,” why should I read you at all?
I got a kid expelled as a SUB when he verbally threatened me for the second time, and after he backed up and apologized about 4 times when he realized I was serious about reporting it. And this was in Lynwood, CA. (look up the demographics some time). The OP’s circumstances were ridiculous. Shame on the administration.
The more I read this thread, the more my sympathies are for the kids. What he did was wrong, and he most likely needs professional help (which he most likely will not get), but there seems to be this attitude of self-righteous anger towards teens here. Or do the people here also threaten co-workers with their jobs when harsh words are exchanged? (obviously, if you are threatened or punched at work, amongst adults, that’s a whole nother story.) I feel more sorry for the kid at this point than I do the teacher.
Expulsion solves nothing–it puts a kid with anger management issues outside his peer group and on the street with nothing but time and boredom on his hands–great solution! :rolleyes:

It solves plenty, honeychild. Mr. Anger-Management-Issues isn’t the only kid in the class. Every moment spent dealing with his psychological problems is a moment every other kid in the class isn’t being instructed in the subject matter mandated. Learning does not take place in an environment where either the teacher or the students are worried about personal safety. The mechanisms are in place for him to get the kind of help he needs beginning with the school psychologist. The subject teachers are there to teach a subject. Until he can control his issues he doesn’t belong in a regular classroom.
Do you teach? Do you work in the public education system? I get a distinct impression you don’t. Even following an expulsion, the school is required by law to provide a student with his government guaranteed education. Expulsion means that the student is no longer permitted to be part of the general population of students. It does not mean the system washes its hands of the student. Understand?
Give him a break, Daniel. You are such a complex mixture of different kinds of shit that he can’t be expected to nail it down in a single post. He could be reasonably expected, though, to know that anything that comes out of your mouth is some kind of shit.
True, all true. You’ll notice, however, that I didn’t follow that up with “And therefore every other job in the world is a cakewalk.” It is possible for there to be more than one sucky job.
And why give El Perro Fumando shit for not having complete control over her classroom? It’s her first year, for Christ’s sake. These things come with time.
Hmm. Diane comes in here and spews a ton of shit all over the place, and Daniel ribs her for it. And you’re giving Daniel a hard time for that? Very interesting.
After much consideration and detective work, I have come to the conclusion that you’re not Daniel’s biggest fan. What’s up with that? Anything you want to share with the class?
Oh, God. I’m sure she’s got tons to share–but could she at least do it in a new thread, so that this thread doesn’t get hijacked with her charming fixation any more?
No, actually it’s pretty simple. I don’t like you because of your personality. You want to be the board Dr. Phil and yet also want to fuck with people. You don’t do either one worth a wet shit, but hold yourself and your opionions in irrationally high regard none-the-less. The fact that, while blindfolded, you can accurately identify each mod by the taste of his/her ass alone just intensifies my pre-existing dislike.
By the way, I am not a “she.” I am not insulted by your use of the feminine. It was obviously just another fuck-up on your part. A touchy-feely like you wouldn’t use it as an insult.
