It seems that now, more than ever, the children are running the schools; so much to the point that they are willing to threaten and even attack a teacher.

this just didn't start ..... the system has control and have allowed these kids to
act in such fashion

I think there is a teacher shortage because when I was in high school, the football coach was our math teacher and he was learning the material right along with us. So there are alot of unqualified teachers teaching different subjects and plus (i believe) they are there just for the paycheck. What I am saying is that some do not care if your kids pass or graduate. The government knows that the majority of the students that attends inner city schools are "minorities". So do you really think that they are concerned about our childeren being under educated within a hostile envirnoment?

That the students are acting out because its their way of crying out for help. They understand that the system could give a d*** and they probably also have alot going on in their private lifes. Its their way of taking control to atleast of some kind of control over their lifes.

teacher that really gave a care about what is really going on...

they are lock stock and barrall teaching the kids if they do x, y and z they will make it.. when the whole system is designed for them to fail...
