Something needs to be done about teachers who hate kids tbh

My sister is currently getting her doctorate in child psychology & education, but years ago she worked as a substitute english teacher at a high school in nyc. She spent half a year subbing for a woman who was out for surgery, and had been teaching english there for years and years. Most of the kids in this class were remedial; they had failed english before and had to retake it. Most of them hated the class, and they hated literature, because they had been made to feel unintelligent. My sister decided to introduce them to poetry, which was a little easier to digest than long form prose, and had them read Robert Frost's "Fire and Ice." And the kids loved it! They connected with it, they were spirited and engaged in class for the first time all year. They wrote their own poetry! They started seeking out and reading poetry on their own! They were all on track to get a C, B or A in that class. And then the original teacher returned and failed every single student, to "teach them all a lesson". That was the moment my sister decided to go into administration so she could hopefully prevent that sort of thing from happening. But it's difficult. Despite numerous complaints from parents and other teachers, that teacher had a job there for decades. She continued to have a job there. There are a lot of teachers like her, wielding power and taking their frustrations out on kids, especially disabled and remedial kids. And students have so few advocates in the classroom.

This post has turned into teachers complaining that this behavior is understandable because of burnout, low wages, etc and like. Ok then quit lmao. If you treat my kid like this because of "burnout" I'm gonna burn out your fucking teeth

I'm a Special Education teacher at a low-income school and this shit gets me all the time when I see my colleagues being assholes to the kids. My philosophy is that these kids already deal with enough shit and don't even want to be in school so it is extremely unfair of me to treat them negatively for anything that is going on in my life. There are definitely great changes that are being made in teaching and in education school, but there are way too many traditional style teachers still fighting tooth and nail to treat and use education as a punishment tool. I have my masters and I'm planning on getting my PhD in education to hopefully come back into educational policy and make some changes in admin, but this stuff can be super disheartening to see.

I once worked as a tutor at another highschool and I was stuck with a traditional and super racist teacher. We gathered a ton of evidence on him and reported him, but all the school did was put him through "coaching" which was just a guy asking him why he did what he did and then the pandemic happened and we never heard from the dude again. The school was letting him get away with everything and turning a blind eye to him because he was close to retirement, but it was horrible because he was messing up literature and reading for like 90 kids.

a lot of people don’t get this but if you don’t say every deranged thing that’s on your mind at all times the thoughts leak into the groundwater and make it bad. Do your part. Just say some shit
