If a teacher was bullying my kid this way, they would be beaten in a dark alley. I expect him to be fired as he rightfully should be. What would you do if you were this child's parent?

I would definitely complain. Teachers are there to help their students in the development of their academic studies, not batter them emotionally and mentally.

He should be fired, he obviously can't control his behaviour adequately after being told to cease and apologise once before.

**** would definitely hit the fan. Nobody will be cutting down my kid's self esteem. Kids hate school enough, they don't need to be called names while there.

Why do these teachers always use the excuse of trying to relate to student when they do something absurdly idiotic? :lol:

I'm not one of those people who think every kid should get a trophy, or that teachers shouldn't use red ink, but this teacher seems to have crossed the line.

Why doesn't she do anything about it? If I was her, I'd beat that teacher so bad. I'm not kiddin'. One time I tripped this sub that I hated and he nearly broke his neck.

All you gotta do is set a backpack right aside as they are writing on the board, and once they turn around... SMACK.

I had a teacher tell tell me that if there is a way to half ass something, I'll find a way to do it. I thought it was hilarious. Apparently I should have had my mom notify the news networks. :lol:

When I do badly in school, it makes me feel bad about my academic abilities, but if somebody called me a loser or stupid or something because I didn't do well, I'd just feel like crap about myself. No need to add insult to injury.

My teacher would tease me and treat me unhuman. The reason she did that was that I didn't know how to read. I didn't care about school because of the situation I was going through at home, but look at me now, I'm way smarter than her now.

No it doesn't. It teaches kids a life lesson. It's about how good you are that equals success. Not just that you tried. You can't get a good grade at everything. Now a 20% may be a little harsh but we don't know what the assignment was nor what the kid turned in.

They actually got an 80. Which is besides the point regardless.

We live in a society where we cant' even spank kids anymore and everything has to be done for them. I thought people in my generation had it easy, kids these days are a joke. Looking at my younger cousins and their friends. They're so sheltered.

Why is it always crazy looking parents who take these things to the press. You know if the kid is a loser, it makes sense. Albeit, I don't think a kid needs to be called a loser until high school.

Word. I remember my Grandma coming at me with a wooden spoon if I did something bad. I also have fond memories of watching Scarface when I was like 11 and Gladiator when I was 10. Now my cousin...He's 5 and one time my Grandma put her hand up to scare my cousin and my uncle flipped even though my cousin, being a sheisty child, was spitting on the floor. And then my Uncle went on to defend his son for spitting on the floor saying the food wasn't good enough for him...Seriously? And like, I see their friends all come over and watch TV. If a commercial for a horror movie or action movie comes on the TV, their parents flip out and dive for the remote to change it. Because of that, these kids crap in their pants at Transformers now and all these PG movies I watched all the time as a kid. And the shows they watch...Man. I used to watch TMNT, Power Rangers, Gargoyles, now they watch fat people in animal suits humping eachother and hugging. Kids these days...

I love teachers that make fun of and screw around with kids, but even then you need to be careful on who it's you do it with. It also crosses a line when you do personal attacks....

You can not be serious? What if the child has trouble in that subject, maybe she had other problems before taking the test?? A bad grade means that the teacher should be more supportive and try to help her get a better one not calling her a loser. It is beyond inappropriate, it is absolutely ridiculous. Plus if students are getting low grades in the class maybe the teacher sucks, another reason he should be fired.

I bet that girl isn't actually upset, and is just pretending to be upset about being called a loser, so it would distract her mother from her terrible grades!

My science teacher is like that but he's awesome. He can be rude, mean, and nice. As long as he has a good side, I'm cool with it. He's only an ass when you break on of his rules or when he feels like joking around. His class his rules.

Haha no As a former failure, I can speak on this. In grade 6 I got 20 percents on all my math tests cause I really didn't care. That stuff was easy but I wasn't trying. If a kid struggles with a subject, they usually pass, they usually can get a 50 percent or around there but if you were like me, then you get the 6 out of 30's or whatever other ridiculous grades I got in math :lol: I even remember my dumb hippy of a teacher saying, 'Good Effort!' on my big fat 10 % but I just laughed.

Haha no As a former failure, I can speak on this. In grade 6 I got 20 percents on all my math tests cause I really didn't care. That stuff was easy but I wasn't trying. If a kid struggles with a subject, they usually pass, they usually can get a 50 percent or around there but if you were like me, then you get the 6 out of 30's or whatever other ridiculous grades I got in math :lol: I even remember my dumb hippy of a teacher saying, 'Good Effort!' on my big fat 10 % but I just laughed.

Did you read what it said? It said -20% for BEING a loser, he took off 20% because he thought she was a loser, she didnt get a 20 on test. People really need to watch the video again and actually look at what the note said.

[QUOTE="Hopkins_J"]A teacher once called me a dumb@ss..Jazz_Fan

Exactly. I had teacher who called kids idiots and the like all the time. Has American society gotten so soft and pathetic that this is suddenly news?

I love teachers that make fun of and screw around with kids, but even then you need to be careful on who it's you do it with. It also crosses a line when you do personal attacks....

Heck, I had teachers in HS that, if you were talking too much, they called you out infront of everyone and threw your ass out of class. I would (along with many others) get tossed out of class at least a couple times a week and I never complained to my mommy about it or informed the presses. You dealt with it and took whatever the authority threw at you. It's a sad day when kids have the authority over the teachers.
