blast from the past - new info on a bad teacher I hate, decades later

[TheoK]

Hadron is brave!

The dim often are--foolishly so.

cannon fodder...

Useful, then.

as fertiliser, possibly.

True. But I think the cane should be a last resort and it should be given by the headmaster/headmistress and written up in a book. I don't believe kids should get the cane for being slow learners.

Depends if the slow learning is their own fault or not - i.e. their own laziness.

I don't think it's the place of the teacher to make such judgements.

Can't help imagining an idiot like Mr. Loser with a cane.  

Easy to imagine him with one shoved up his ass, though.

I do in the case of a bright teacher. Asides I can practically smell out Aspies these days, so I know who to favour.

So does that mean you would cane a kid who is bullying or teasing aspies in your class?

Absolutely - and more.

Kill the little bastid!

between Hadron's breezy hubris and Lit's utter bollocks, this thread is becoming quite entertaining.

I agree.  Too many lazy teachers would place the blame on the child and his/her laziness rather than recognize the real issues with which the child contends.

My daughter's special education teacher felt qualified to recommend that I drug my daughter and she told me that my daughter couldn't possibly be autistic because "autistic children don't hit" even though I had a private assessment from someone infinitely more qualified than she that said that my daughter was indeed autistic.

[TheoK]

What a stupid bitch.  I'm autistic and I hit a lot in school. I actually hit that much that I had to go to another school when I hit some bullies so they had to go to the dentist. 

[Callaway]

They should not have been bullying you in the first place.  I struck back at a couple of people who were bullying me too.  I did not hit them as hard as you hit your bullies, but they eventually learned to leave me alone.
