Why are some teachers bad about not cleaning up after themselves in the school cafeteria?

They are just lazy, like some students. They figure "we have cleaners, they are paid to deal with this". Or if there aren't cleaners, they think "I'm too busy and important for this."

If your child is causing other children harm their is a proper way many teachers are thought to restarint a kid. Other wise I dont think you are suppposed to.

I am not a teacher but I think teachers have to put up with a lot of crap from students. There are so many kids today that are just plain lazy and disrespectful and then they whine because the teachers are mean. I personally think that "discipline" should be brought back into the classroom and home. If I said or did half the stuff kids do today I would have gotten my butt kicked!

Here's another question for you:  Why is it that students behave very badly in the classroom but when the principal walks in they are nice until s/he walks out?  It goes both ways you know. \n\nFurther, don't paint a picture with such a broad brush; not all teachers modify their behavior when an administrator is in the room.

It's good that you respect your teachers. It's rare. Keep it up, and you'll get nominated for stuff. But don't do it for that.  Just ignore those kind of people. People like to put down people who make them feel guilty. They feel guilty (or should) that they aren't doing the right thing like you are.

They want teachers to agree with them that "my child would NEVER behave like that!!"\nThey want teachers to give their children something for nothing...i.e. grades.\nThey want teachers to suddenly come up with an extra-credit assignment for their child (so the little darling can pass) when there are two weeks left in the final semester and their child's average is sitting at 47%.\nThey want teachers to put their own life on hold while they spend their entire weekend grading extra-credit assignments so their wonderfully well-behaved, academically groomed child WILL pass, dammit!\nAnd so on, and so on, and so on......

Everyone, including all teachers, aides, and children need to be taught the importance of hand-washing. It needs to be a routine after using the restroom, and before snacks or lunch. If one of the parents happens to be a nurse, have him/her come in and give a lesson to everybody.\nThe director has the responsibility to address the issues you speak of. I don't know why the teacher withheld dessert, but children have a very acute sense of fairness; so, if it was an attempt to discipline the kids in question, it should have been handled differently.

yeh i do agree because teachers aren't too focused on motivating their students and standards are lower than they used to be. For physical ed, teachers dont care to teach that much, they just have the students play and assume that they know everything.

I learned to stamp my shoes off outside before coming in.  I had a teacher in 4th grade that kept me inside from recess one day, because my shoes had been dirty so the floor under my desk was dirty.  She made me get down on my hands and knees and sweep up (with a little bittie broom) the dirt/sand that had fallen off my shoes.  \n\nI really DID NOT like that teacher after that...who keeps a 9 year old in from recess to sweep?  Why was I doing the janitor's job?  It's not like I intentionally caked my shoes with dirt, just to drop it in her class.  What a nasty old lady...anyway, that's what stuck with me

When it comes to putting food on the table, you have to make successions in life. I would feel embarrassed to be going through that too. What it comes down to it, do you care if the kids at your school are shocked to look at you in disgust or would you rather have your child look at you in disgust because you couldn't provide it with the needs of a child.

You might need to be more specific in your question, but I'll answer what I think.  I think kids are generally unrully in the classroom because they think that they can get away with it.  There is not a lot of parental control at home, in some cases, and teachers cannot discipline anymore.  \n\nIt's a shame.

There used to be students when I was in school that would take thier pencils and hit them on the desk the entire time.They would have to throw things away every 2 minutes...sharpen pencil every 3 or 4 minutes. eating chips/rattling paper.

Because they handle alot of dirty work obviously so people think thats disgusting and don't want them to touch or talk to them. Most will think they are the superior ones because of their position in a job? kinda odd.

I am a teacher and I will be the first to admit that we are babysitters----not in a bad way though like you are thinking of.  We watch and care for our students as if they are our own.  Somedays we are thier teacher, counciler, nurse, friend, driver, caretaker, etc all at once.  Some of these students the only adults they can trust or look up to is thier teachers.  Beleive it or not there are alot more parents out there who would rather stick up for there kids and be there friends then be thier parents--and we are to try and teach and disipline them---if you think we are just overrated baby sitters-----i challenge you to become a teacher and see what all the hardwork is about in this feild----( and I will add without the pay and regonition we desearve---but thats not why i teach)  Also there are some poor teachers out there yes---but there are also poor doctors, mechanics, lawyers, tellers, casiers, etc---  Hope this anwers your question.

Most of those kids have NO CLUE as to the reason they are walking out of school.   They simply desire to get out of as many classes as possible.   \n\nAlso, it was noted by many teachers on Friday that the kids that left school were the ones who had the lowest grades!!\n\nTHEY DON"T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!

If the student knows you accept them, regardless of their English fluency, they become comfortable and productive in your classroom.\n\nI work in a very economically underprivileged area (ALL students are on FREE lunch -- not reduced lunch... free), in an elementary school.\n\nMost students are from Spanish-speaking homes, and Mexican culture.\n\nBehaviors I see regularly in my classroom that I "accept" and then gently guide students away from over the school year...\n\nResource hoarding.  I have buckets of supplies, and allow students to hoard as much as they like, until they get used to the idea that they won't "run out." Taking other peoples' supplies is not allowed. The "stolen" item is openly returned by the "thief," who then is guided to practice asking for new materials from me or my EA. It does mean that at the end of the school year, when I pull apart and box things for the summer, I find little stashes of stuff all over the place, which I consolidate back in the buckets for next year....\n\nLack of eye contact with authority figures.  In the Mexican culture, it is disrespectful to look an authority figure in the eye. Once the kids are comfortable with me, we have several class discussions about this and other small differences that make a big difference in how the kids will interact with authority.\n\nAlso, I am the Gifted Enrichment teacher for my school (gifted falls under special education in my state). I work hard with the kids to understand how and why regular ed instruction is done the way it is, and how to challenge themselves and find their own depth of knowledge (while I continually try to "nudge" the regular ed teachers into curriculum compaction and allowance for independent study rather than drill).\n\nWith my Resource remediation students, certain phrases are NOT allowed.  "I can't" is replaced by "I need more time" and/or "I need more help."  Looking at someone else's work and saying "That's easy" is also not allowed... everyone has things that are easy for them and hard for someone else, and vice versa...we don't make someone else feel like they are dumb by criticizing their level of work.\n\nWe build on our strengths. I have several kids with normal or better non-verbal intelligence, who don't even talk in complete sentences because their language disability is so severe. Guess who were in charge of puppet and set design for our puppet show this year.... not as "filler" jobs but actually IN CHARGE. The set and puppets looked wonderful!
