Duncanville is about 25 miles from where I live... I remember when this happened... such a shitstorm all over the news lol. The dude is absolutely right.
What's funny is this is something you'd expect from Mary E Smithey Pace HS, the other HS in Duncanville with a 35% graduation rate (yes, 35%). Duncanville High has a 91% graduation rate.
Anyway, even the principal agreed and he went back to class and the teacher was put on paid leave while it was investigated lol.
I disagree. There are going to be unmotivated teachers at every school, but kids are more likely to stand up for themselves if they're used to being treated better. These kids have likely seen examples of really good teachers and therefore expect more out of their education. Kids at a school with a 35% graduation rate will be less likely to know how to self advocate and, to be honest, will probably have a lot of outside concerns that come before "am I expected to learn out of a workbook?"
When kids make more sense and have more widsom than adults who suppose to be their teachers, it's unbelievable and depressing. This new generation sometimes make me proud, they are ambitious, fearless, brave and well informed. (Not all)
