  Bad take. Is not teachers’ job to instill good morals in kids.

  It also shouldn’t be in them to put up with abuse in the workplace, regardless of who’s the one delivering that abuse.

    That would be on the parents

      Yes, but also on broader society. 100 years ago that would have been contained - people in you’re neighbourhood would know you and help out. It’s a lot harder in the internet age

    good morals in kids

    I think you mean basic human decency

    • Zagorath@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yes. I would suggest having human decency is the bare minimum of good morals.

    Yet it is. It’s a broken system.

  As a person who has a teacher in my direct family, I can tell you that it wouldn’t matter what preparation and training they are given.

  Part of the reason is that they have zero ability to control the kids in the class because if they do, the parents will basically sue the school, rip into the teacher (Because little Jimmy is just their perfect angel and can do no wrong.), and you can do nothing to any child that speaks to you like that, in any way whatsoever.

  The system is completely broken and the teachers just sit there and get abused from day to day to day. It’s been happening for years now.

  I tell you what, next time some little teenage shit tells you you’re a “fat fucking cunt of a piece of shit” (for example, to mirror the linked article’s language), and tells you day to day to your face, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Let’s just see how well prepared you are.

    What ever happened to detentions, suspensions and expulsion?

    Soft.

    Schools need to start issuing “Your kid is a cunt” warnings to parents, with threats of abuse and harassment criminal charges. If public health staff won’t put up with it, why should teachers?

    Parents and school won’t do shit. Call the cops. Except in America, because that will get someone shot.

      No meaningful consequences is definitely part of the problem. I was once told of a student who threw a chair at a TV. Breaking both chair and TV.

      Consequences? He was given a card that says he was naughty, and was told to give it to his parents. The card was promptly thrown in the bin. Nothing else happened.

      The soft touch approach is too soft. They’re being set up for failure in the real world. Can’t wait for them to try this shit at uni/tafe/job.

        The hell? Parents should pay it and the student give a handwritten apology.
