Is it just me, or do school teachers.. (mainly from secondary school's), seem to want to bully kids these days. I receive several emails from teachers, and when I sit there and read them, I have to say that they actually come across as bullies, or people who just basically want to be in control of our children. Yeah I know that secondary school is important and that our kids need to work hard, but really... constantly threatening after school detentions and crap like that, because they don't hand homework in on time, or their homework is not acceptable... grow up teachers, you will earn more respect from the students in the long run!
I have actually just come across something on the good ol internet, one of the daytime shows have posted this question...
"Is tough discipline really the route to academic success? Are you a parent, is it time for teachers to get tough?"
So... is it perhaps that I am not the only person who is beginning to think of teachers as bullies??? Obviously with the fact that this question has just popped up on a TV show, I am assuming that perhaps there are other parents out there who are thinking along the same lines, or perhaps the other way around, in that perhaps there are parents out there who think that maybe teachers should be more strict. Whoever reads my blog I would be intrigued to see what you all think, please feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think.
