Quote reblogged from I missed tumblr too much with 14 notes
I doubt anyone could possibly disagree that accountability must be a part of teaching, but accountability in recent years has increasingly meant sucking all of the creativity, art, and dynamism out of teaching.
Teacher Complains about Students on the Internet. America Loses Its Collective Shit. « Shitty First Drafts (via notemily)
Oh, sure. I think we shall all rally to defend someone who mocked students with disabilities on her blog, referred to a students “rat like”, as “street walkers” and as ““rude, beligerent, argumentative fuck[s]”, mocked students for being exhausted and falling asleep in class, complained the shy students should just get over it, and talked about calling in sick to work just to avoid a particular student. I think that’s a lovely idea.
If this is your test case for how teachers are being held to a higher standard, I’d like you to seriously consider if this person - who was easily identifiable because she included her first name, her last initial, and photos of herself - which means her students were easily identifiable - is the person you want as your champion.
Her blog was found by her students and did the rounds of facebook before it was reported to administration. Which means her students now have a teacher - a teacher being defended by a lot of people - who has told them it’s okay to openly mock students with disabilities.
Awesome test case, folks. Just awesome.
