American teacher says they are no longer allowed to stop kids from destroying their classrooms
She says she had a kid start destroying her classroom and protocol is to do nothing
“This kid just decided to destroy my classroom, and I just had to sit there and listen to them break my things and tear things off the wall that took me hours, and it was awful. Not just for me, all the other kids just sitting there watching me, and I obviously tried to just, you know, remain calm, not let it phase me, but just them hearing things shattering and breaking and, you know, that's their classroom. That's supposed to be a safe place for them.
The worst part about it all is that kid was in the classroom two days later. They had to stay home for one day, and then they were right back in, and I had to act like nothing happened, as well as all the other classmates”
She says this the norm in America. Teachers can’t stop students when they act this way, even young students
right now there's a video going viral about a, like a kindergarten student basically destroying their classroom, and a lot of people are commenting, you know, "Why did no one stop him? Why didn't the teacher stop him from destroying the classroom?" The thing is, we can't, right? Most general education teachers don't have the certification and the training to restrain children, and it's a huge liability — typical protocol if a child is destroying the classroom is for the teacher and the other students to evacuate, so that's exactly what we did”
Kids used to fear their teachers and their parents for acting out. Now apparently you just have to watch it happen with literally no consequences
There needs to be accountability of both the kids and the parents
