Video at the link http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/get-schooled/2013/may/09/viral-video-student-dressing-down-teacher-commend-/ Should this Texas high school student be decorated or disciplined for his outburst in class? Take a look at this video that is going viral of a high school student lecturing his world history teacher on her slack teaching style. Duncanville High School sophomore Jeff Bliss tells the teacher that passing out packets is not teaching the students. If Bliss seems inordinately articulate for a sophomore, it may be because he is 18. He dropped out of school and returned, according to Texas news reports. In the 84-second video, Bliss tells the teacher: “If you would just get up and teach us instead of handing ‘em a packet yo. There’s kids in here that don’t learn like that… they need to learn face-to-face. You want kids to come to class? You want them to get excited? You gotta come in here, you gotta make ‘em excited, to change him and make him better, you gotta touch his freakin’ heart.” The Dallas Morning News reports that Bliss will not be disciplined for this behavior, which was caught on a cell phone by a classmate and posted. In a statement, the Duncanville ISD district said: “As a district with a motto of 'Engaging Hearts and Minds,' we focus on building positive relationships with students and designing engaging work that is meaningful. We want our students and teachers to be engaged, but the method by which the student expressed his concern could have been handled in a more appropriate way. We are and will continue to be open to listening to students.” Edited by Tybee, May 9 2013, 07:51 PM.

Good for that kid! The way the woman sits behind the desk petulantly saying "bye... bye.... goodbye" is childish. |

I'd say about 80% of the teachers I worked with shouldn't have been teachers, and 50% of them should have been in jail. Everything from fucking their students (junior high and up) to routine, repeated physical abuse to bringing guns to school to pretty much every bigotry you could think of. So only handing out packets of worksheets probably puts THIS teacher in the top 85%th percentile in her school, performance wise. That's probably why she gets away with this bullshit. At least now she has public shaming to deal with, which she deserves. |
