Basic Student Summary

 

At orientation, a school teacher stated that students teach other students.  In a sense this is true.  In a school system where students are given 2/3 of their grade based on homework, students copying each others work and achieving similar marks are in fact learning from other students.  I bring students into this mix because they are a captive audience and seemingly have no influence on education.  A good teacher realized the importance of communication amongst students. 

 

Communication is good.  When you think that your teacher is less than adequate at his or her profession, you need to talk.  Question your parents.  Use specific examples to clarify your reasoning.  First and foremost, your parents want you to get a quality education.  Open up to your parents, they need to know what is going on in these schools.  If you feel like you are speaking to a wall, contact us.  We will protect anonymity, however, we have to have a way to verify who you are.  We will NOT publish your name on this site.  We fully understand the retaliatory effects that you may experience by outing an abusive person or incompetent teacher.  We know that you may be scared but it is of utmost importance to bring problems forward if we, as a community, are ever to solve them. 

 

Do you have a teacher that is abusive?

 

             1.  Are you treated like garbage? 

             2.  Does the teacher associate all problems in the class with your name?

             3.  Are you belittled?

             4.  Are you given the cold shoulder when you ask a question?

             5.  Rather than instruction do you get intimidation? Yelling? Screaming?                                    Bullying?

             6.  Does your teacher try to shame you for your question or your answer?

             7.  Do you feel like you are being humiliated to make a point?

             8.  Does the teacher use name-calling or make negative comparisons to                     others?         

             9.  Does the teacher tell you that you are “no good," "worthless," "bad," or "a                   mistake?"

             10. Is your teacher just downright cold to you but warm and open to others in                    the Course?

             11. Is your teacher habitually blaming you for everything in the class?

             12. Is you teacher ignoring your questions or rejecting the opportunity for you                    to engage the class?

             13. Is the teacher disregarding any comments or questions that you present?

 

All of these are examples of emotional child abuse.  And if you are worried about sexual misconduct or even sexual abuse, we will make certain it is not swept under the rug, regardless of the offenders position.  I will repeat this, if these problems are occurring in the classroom, go to your parents first, they want to be involved.  They will want to help.  Also, go to THE BLOG section of this site, register and post what is going on.  Other people care what is going on, also; and, you may not be the only child with this problem from this teacher!

 

You don’t have to open up about teachers only.  Tell everyone about the school.  Is the fecal (crap, turd, what-have-you) matter still on the walls in the bathroom in “the tunnel” at Sevier County High School?  Are people still urinating on the toilet paper in “the tunnel” bathroom?  Take pictures!  I’ll post them!

 

When problems are occurring in schools, it takes the student body speaking out.  The UNION has a clamp on the teachers, principals, and administrators mouths.  You, the students, are the eyes and ears of the community!
