You wouldn't last a minute in my class. My fourth graders have stronger reasoning skills than you've demonstrated here.
You really have a demeaning attitude for other people who choose to not attend your classes. It is so sad how the institution of compulsory public education warps the minds of educators in such a way as to turn them against students.
Many teachers of course recognize the shared humanity of children and treat them as equals.

As I left the class she was saying that underwater mountains didn't count.
Well, that was just a pointless argument. That would be like me insisting o my teacher the moon doesn't have a face: DOES IT REALLY MATTER?
Also it can be shown to be incorrect as it isn't the highest from sea level.

Teacher: Freedoms are important, none should be held above the other, freedom of speech, religion, life, they are all important and must not be repressed, its not something we do in this country.
Student: Ok. I disagree with Islam
Teacher: Why?
Student: Because it represses females, children and gives excuse for people to murder.
Teacher: Get out.
Me: Why did you send him out?
Teacher: I wont have comments like that im my classroom.
Me: But you just said freedom of speech was important.
Teacher: Yes
Me: The why send him out?
Teacher: He insulted someone’s religion
Me: But you just repressed his speech, for that matter shouldn’t someone be punished if they kill in the name of their religion?
Teacher: Get out.

No, i just recognise that those who skip school are routinely caught because they're in uniform. I speak from experience.
Further, if the best he can come up with is "Nuh-uh, uniforms are stupid", then he's demeaning himself without my help.Natapoc wrote:It is so sad how the institution of compulsory public education warps the minds of educators in such a way as to turn them against students.
So by holding a belief (backed up by evidence) that uniforms are a good thing I'm "against students"? Or is it my expectation that students obey rules that shows that I'm "against students"? No really, I'm honestly curious how I'm "against students", given that I've dedicated almost a decade of my life to them.Natapoc wrote:Many teachers of course recognize the shared humanity of children and treat them as equals.
Yeah, they're the ones who resign early in their careers, unable to cope with the students who walk all over them. Students are not and can not be equal to teachers.

Yeah, I see no problem with that. It may be important to know name the states of Australia, especially if you live there.

I imagine he had misread the problem, though. Then there was an English teacher with the attitude of "there is only one correct way to interpret this text, and it's mine." Any interpretations that differed from hers (which were often from a fundamentalist Christan viewpoint) were wrong and would receive poor grades. (She also had a tendency to round down the grades of students she didn't like, such as me, but that veers into different territory.) Later on, I had a composition teacher who informed me that the music I wrote was worthless rubbish (although in fancier words). He was emulating his old music teacher, it turned out, who'd done exactly the same thing (to the point of tearing up manuscripts if they displeased him), but still, not exactly the best teaching strategy.
And of course there were teachers who told me that people are pleasant, nice, or trustworthy, or teachers who told me that everyone's opinion is equally valuable and worthy of consideration, and the like. But considering those statements "stupid" would probably send me careening into Internet Tough Guy territory. <.<

I think he's referring to the fact that he's in 9th grade and being made to do the exact same task I gave my fourth graders last week.
