I really feel for this guy. Here he is trying to do the right thing and take a stand against an idiotic policy and he gets suspended.
We are teaching our kids to be lazy bums and then when they are called on their laziness, they can refer to a behavioral disorder.
What a load of nonsense.
It wasn't so long ago that I was in high school myself that I can't remember my reasons for not completing work.
The reasons are short and sweet. I was too lazy to be bothered with it. I'd rather do other things. And, if a teacher referred me to a behavior specialist I would have eaten that right up and never ever completed an assignment. Ever. Instead, I got a couple of 0's and made good and sure on the follow up assignments that I did good work because I didn't want to fail. Oh right. We don't fail kids anymore either.
I wonder if there are any other countries out there who look at how we do things in Canada and pee themselves laughing.....

Canada: institutionalizing laziness and lack of accountability.
ReplyDeleteOur school system today does more harm than it helps and it's mostly not the fault of teachers.
Welcome to what is happening in Saskatchewan. Students simply pass on and teachers have no choice.
