Some typical anecdotes from my wife, who is a special ed. teacher at Artesia High School in Southern California. A student is sent to her classroom to get help on his assignments by his history teacher. He is wearing a hooded jacket to hide the earphones of his disc-player which is in the pocket of his jacket. My wife asks him to surreneder his disc-player as it is not allowed. They start to have a little tug of war over it and my wife thinks better of it and decides to blue slip him and send him to the office. He leaves the room ostensibly to go the office. She finishes up a minor glitch at a computer program her aide is running and then suspecting this student will not go to the office, proceeds to the office to see if she is correct. Sees the security people in their golf cart and asks them to "help" him find the office. Spots him heading back to her classroom and intercepts him. He says he went to the bathroom. They end up in the office with one of the counselors and he is asking the student to respond to my wife's complaint. No response. Then the Vice Principal in charge of discipline comes into the room and comments that the student will be going to the continuation school in a few days and with the implication that the student is in limbo says he's not sure what to do about the situation. My wife leaves the office in disgust. Reality is that this student and others if they do not want to be in class will ask/demand to go the bathroom (I gotta ****in go) to get out of the class. If that doesn't work they will do something to get blue-slipped and get out of the class that way. Anyway you look at it, they do not want to be in school and my wife and others are wasting a good deal of their time with this type of student. At an assembly to elect students for some office of position (the vote will be by acclamation) one student strips down to his shorts and proceeds to "hump" the microphone. He does this at the next assembly also. At the most recent assembly on what to wear to the prom (a sort of fashion show) one kid proceeds down the runway in a tux, pulls out a condom from his pocket with one hand, while twirling a pair of string bikini girls underwear with the other hand.. My wife has not doubt he did this at the next assembly also. There is an essay at this site. capitalismmagazine.com on emotionalism. Interesting and different viewpoint. Gordon The stories my wife tells me everyday about her dysfunctional school are a source of conflict between us. She needs me to listen to her and I feel compelled to give her advice and even ask her if she would like me to go and talk to the administration and get some answers on her questions and concerns. They are very good at putting her off and I suspect would be equally good with me.
