[quote=AN][quote=CA renter]AN, flu was directing that last part at me. He’s not trying to make an actual point.[/quote]Whether he’s directing that at you or not is irrelevant. I totally agree with him that those are crappy teachers. But IMHO, those are not the worse. The worse teachers are those that belittle, demean,abuse, etc their students.
But it’s a little sickening to hear you defend them so easily (even though you say you don’t condone those behavior). If you defended those teachers so easily, how can I take anything you say as objective and unbiased analysis of the situation?[/quote]
I’m not at all defending them, but what we don’t know is the context of those situations. I’ve heard and seen situations that might appear one way if we were to look at a transcript (especially one that is truncated), but look entirely different when seen in context.
I’m willing to bet that if we were to record all the goings-on at your house when you had 20 kids there every weeekday for a year (including disrespectful ones, angry ones, ones who never listen to you, etc.), we’d hear things that would make most people want to call CPS on you. I’d lay money on it. Now imagine if we could cut away all of the conversation before and after the worst thing you’d say so that we don’t have context, how do you think that would sound?
