• ‘Just Get Up and Teach Them Instead of Handing Them a Frickin’ Packet, Yo’: Student’s Rant to Teacher Goes Viral

  May 11, 2013 at 1:53pm

  In reply to outforawalk.

  When do you start holding parents accountable for their children’s discipline problems and unwillingness to try in school? Teachers are with these kids for a very small amount of time compared to what parents are. For example, if you are a high school teacher, you may only see a student for one class all day. So in say a 40 to 50 minute class period per day what impact is a teacher supposed to really have on that student?Who is really at fault here? The parent who spends hours per day under the same roof with the child, or the teacher who spends 50 minutes with them a day?

  I am not saying there aren’t bad teachers/school systems out there, the recent Atlanta cheating scandal is proof there are. Yet if you want your child to be well educated that starts at home. Amazingly I see very few comments mentioning the fact that parents do not raise their children anymore. They expect someone else to do so at daycare, at school, at church, at boy scouts, or by the TV. Parents need to stop blaming everyone else for their kids shortcomings and start looking in the mirror. Raise your kids to be respectful, hardworking, to make no excuses and to value learning. The results will show in school no matter how bad some of their teachers may be.

  I agree with you. There is no way that kid is a hero. If the teacher had been using a traditional style of teaching the guy would have done the same thing. He would have simply said “You can’t just stand up there and lecture…” and away he would have went. What he was doing is making excuses, nothing more.

  I have a feeling there is a parent behind this kid who let him do whatever he wanted, never checked the kids homework to make sure it was done, and generally expected the school system to raise their kid.

  Heh, so this kid is upset because a teacher is not using the traditional style of “lecture at students” that has failed for well over 40 years now?

  The most remarkable thing to me is that no one offered any help to the guy. At the very least I would have taken a look at the guys laptop to see if there was anything I could do.

• The Pictures Coming Out of Israel Are Chilling — See Our Collection Showing the Aftermath

  I do not see any of these photo’s on mainstream media sites. All I see there is the aftermath of the Israeli strikes. It would be nice if the media did their job for a change rather than try to pick winners and losers.

  So atheists are always lamenting that Christians try to spread their faith, yet the atheists do the same thing with their faith.

• Obama: My Re-Election Proves Americans Want the Wealthy to Pay More in Taxes

  So if Obama’s re-election means that people want higher taxes, what does the GOP increasing their numbers in the House mean? Democrat logic is always flawed.

  We as conservatives need to stop equating Conservatism with Nativism.

  The biggest argument I hear for being against amnesty is “well these people broke laws.” Okay, you are correct, they did. I am going to go ahead and guess that many of you have broken laws too. Speeding would be the glaring example. Should we strip away your driver’s license? Not many of you would be for that I am sure. So a better explanation is going to be needed if you want to exclude a race of people from the conservative platform due to law breaking.

  The next argument of course will be to point out the violent offenses of Illegal immigrants. Again you are right, those are terrible things. However, for every violent offender you show me who is Hispanic and illegal I could give you a white violent offender that is a citizen. So why are we focusing on this? The fact of the matter is all people of all races commit horrible crimes.

  Another argument that is constantly used is that “well if we allow amnesty the few jobs that remain will be taken by this new group of people.” There are different variations of this argument but what it comes down to is less jobs for current American citizens. What is never factored in is the number of jobs that could be created by this new citizenry if they were given legal status and were embraced by conservatives rather than lead down a path of welfare by democrats.

  Stop handing Hispanics to the liberal welfare state. Embrace them and teach them Conserva

• Obama Delivers Victory Speech in Chicago After Decisive Election Win: ‘The Task of Perfecting Our Union Moves Forward’

  2016 will be an interesting Republican primary since it will determine the next president. The only positive thing about Obama being re-elected is that it will give him enough time to leave no doubt that liberal policies do not work.
