Yeah, the impression I've got is that the schools are in a hopeless position. When students can't be controlled (from the synopsis of the amazon book - "Kids from the halls barged into classes all day"), and schools cant choose their students, the school is then at the mercy of its surroundings.
- acjohnson55 9y agoI'd argue that students shouldn't need to be controlled. They need guidance, nurturing, and engagement. And social services, in some cases. This concept of out-of-control students is a symptom of extremely concentrated, poorly treated social dysfunction.
- ygaf 9y agoIt's no concept my friend. Sure, the students need nurturing. With the world each of them is surrounded by, and their own life outside school, they are bound to behave badly. But it sounds like you are saying schools shouldn't have authority. Schools with well-behaved students have an inertia, but the school will also ultimately exercise control over them. edit: didn't realise who I was talking to, more respect is due (or less opining on 'baltimore' and 'teaching'). I've read some of your journal.
