Cancel school stupid. Early release is better. When I was in high school in Omaha we would have early release most days until at least Labor Day. No A/C, temps in the rooms was close 100 with 90% humidity.
Now fire academy during the August and September in Omaha, you went into the fire to cool off. One night we had half the class with IV's in due to heat stress.

Ahhh I was looking fwd to your opinion since u are in the trenchesOriginally Posted by BigBear
Yet they continue to push for year around school.
If you want peace, prepare for war.
I'd love to hear from a teacher or school staff. I don't have any kids in the school system so I can't speak first hand on any of this. It just seems ridiculous from my independent point of view. After all, how hot DID it get today?
I dunno how it was in Denver, but over in Lakewood, as we get breaks every hour or so and I went outside on most of them today, it wasn't that bad- partly cloudy for the majority of the day, and when we left at 1630 it was raining. What a crock! I fail to see how it got so hot that the little chirrens were suffering. Thus continues the pussification of America.

Well, fine then. Flame Suit on: If parents would actually spend time with their children, raise them, and then teach them some common (not so common anymore) ideals such as responsibility, manners, standards, morals, ethics, integrity, intrinsic motivation, etc we ALL would be in a far better place in our education system. All the pandering, and "pussification" in our schools happen because the liberal ahole parents are the ones that actually go to the community meetings or find time to make an appointment with the principals/admins/supers to make their view-points known. In all my years of teaching, I've steadily seen a decline in parental involvement because everyone is "too busy". I work 70+ hours a week (not including all the time spent on weekends for football season, etc) plus hundreds of hours in the summers to try and teach your enititled, rude, thugish, ILLITERATE child something that just might help them get ahead in life. And no, that hours spent is not compensated for over time, etc. I am a musician and it's the price I pay to try and teach, keep up my own chops, etc. Do not pity me for I chose it as my lifes pursuit. I am happy with my decision.
I often find... no, I ALWAYS find that the attitude of the children is a direct imitation of the attitude the parents posseses. It is NOT my job to raise YOUR child. It is my job to try and get them interested in learning so that hopefully they will be a contributing member to society. A lot of the fighting, problems, etc in our society can be solved if we would stop finger pointing and blaming each other. We ALL play a part.
Now, I am not trying to say how much better I am than you, etc. Much the opposite if truth be told. I want to help, I want kids to succeed. Lord knows I don't do it because of the money or the benefits. I can't do my job as a teacher without you as the parent. We spend so much time disciplining, correcting, raising your kids that there is virtually NO education happening. We (via YOUR taxes... from people who don't even HAVE kids) even feed your kids while you just have to have that pack of cigarettes or 6-pack of Bud. Lord forbid you actually have to go without your hourly cigarettes to buy Johnny a coat in the winter time....
Let me calm down... more later....
I think that year round school will eventually win out. All the welfare hood rats who can't take care of their own children, will opt to give them to the government. Especially when they find that they can save money and even GET money for doing so. They are already talking about 5 hour workdays for school, just year long... Don' get me started on all the problems and how expensive that will be (for the tax payer = YOU)....
At my school, we have been without AC for three weeks due to the bond construction issues. It has constantly reached over 100 degrees by noon. We do what we can with box fans etc. However, thanks to our "safety" and litgious society, we are NOT allowed to open windows/doors to get airflow. We just have to deal with it. Let me tell you, 40+ hot, complaining, rude, thuggish kids who only want to push the one teacher around gets tiring very quickly. I can understand why the admins cancel school.
Fortunately, my kids are decently behaved and I treat them like adults so I do not have most of the discipline problems that other people do. Yes it is hot. No we haven't cancelled school. Yes, the days are long and tiresome. But I wouldn't give it up. I have taken the kids outside several times. I've bought them bottled water, etc. You do what you can and keep trucking along. Complaining doesn't solve anything... and yes, I do complain a lot.
Please stop lumping all teachers into one column... There are some out there who do try to make the difference. I know I lumped all parents into a single column with my previous paragraph and I do not apologize (yet) for that remark. Prove me wrong, get involved in your childs school. Are you getting irritated? Is it hitting close to home? I am not your babysitter. I am not your friend. I am your teacher, your mentor, your counselor, your guardian angel, etc.
Yes, you have the worlds biggest balls because you've walked through hell and a blizzard at the same time fourteen miles to school all uphill boths ways carrying the Encyclopedia Britannica Yes, your balls are gigantic because you work with smelted iron all day in a brick housed shop with a tin roof, no AC, and a furnace of 3K degrees... Good for you.. how does that help solve the problem?
Maybe we are all seeing the pussification because we can bitch like a pussy, but no one is willing to step up and contribute to solving the problem?
Oh look, I missed the bullseye... must be the scope....
If there's anything else I can clear up, let me know.
Flame suit is on.... literally, it's hot in there.

And on the pussification...
Did you know that we can't play tackle football during recess cause someone might get hurt?
Did you know that we can't even play touch football cause someone might trip?
Did you know that we can't even run because someone might run faster than someone else and "that's just not fair"?
Make your voice heard or it won't get better... Litigious society and all that jazz.
What's this "we" stuff?
