Reply to comment by potou in I am a teacher, and the quietest kid in class just became the most brutal one by Jermzberry
Look, you like to assume A LOT about what I shared, and that’s fine. You asked why I took offense to it and instead of even considering the validity of my argument, you totally dismissed it. That’s fine as well.
I’m on Reddit. I have children. And if I saw this on Reddit, which is possible, I would be troubled. As a parent, that’s the concern.
There is no parts of the post that could identify the school, teacher or student except for the assignment itself. The teachers handwriting, the students, the actual assignment.
I look over my kids work all the time as a parent and I know their handwriting like I know their voice.
Yes, children say childish things, but it’s not for the teacher to decide what to share with the rest of the world. It’s why there is a policy.
I didn’t say anything about the quiet kid becoming a terrorist at all. Not once. The fact that you go there speaks volumes about your obtuseness to the idea that it wouldn’t happen, even though it does literally every year in American schools. Sadly, more than once in a year. So don’t even dip your foot in those waters of hyperbole.
The nod to Florida is a joke, because actually, a ton of the funny posts I see on here with children assignments being posted by teachers or spouses of teachers actually come from Florida.
If you want to climb on this hill and lay down, so be it. I’m not going up there with you. You fail to see the facts that posting this is not necessary or violates a policy and that’s your choice.
Post a cat falling off a fridge, or a duck walking backwards, I don’t care. Folks just need to stop posting children’s assignments on Reddit and call it funny. There is zero considerations for the actual kid here. Would you just assume your child would be okay with it? Did anyone bother to ask?
