This teacher hasn't been fired yet. Unreal....Our public schools are a disaster.

Quote:Dallas teacher who threatened his sixth-grade class in a profanity-laced rant that included graphic references about his genitals was suspended Thursday by administrators who were "horrified" after hearing a recording made on a pupil's cell phone.

The shockingly graphic, 7-minute lecture by a teacher identified only as "Sgt. Griffin" occurred at Oliver Wendell Holmes Middle School on Monday. The teacher, who could not be reached for comment, was apparently incensed by the students' lackluster performance on a recent test, according to education blog EAGnews.org.

“If you don’t give a f***, I don’t give a f***,” and “I’m going to tell you the truth, you f***ed it up,” the teacher is heard saying on the recording, which was provided to MyFoxDFW.

“Let me tell you something, some of y’all are some ******* rude mother*****s. Shut the f*** up.”

- Sgt. Griffin

“If you get to f*** around I will go back and do the paperwork and change your f***** grade and fail you[r] stupid a**.” He also said.

The teacher’s salty language continues on.

“If y’all cool with me, I’m cool with you. I would much prefer, I like having fun just as much as everybody else. Matter of fact, I like having fun more. I’d rather be sitting on my a** chilling, watching y’all play basketball, play on the phones and all of that sh*t!

“However, y’all mother f*****s acted a ******* fool on Thursday and Friday.”

“Let me tell you something, some of y’all are some ******* rude mother*****s. Shut the f*** up.”

He even made lewd comments regarding his genitals to the young students, in language far too explicit for publication.

The recording was made by one of Griffin’s female students, whose mother alerted the school's principal.

“She asked me to delete the video, not to have the video in my phone, not to do anything with it,” the mother said according to a local news report.

Dallas Independent School District spokesman André Riley told FoxNews.com, the teacher, who he identified by last name, teaches a leadership class that is set up like a junior ROTC program.

“We heard what happened and we were horrified by it,” Riley said. “There’s no way that type of language is acceptable in a classroom.”

Riley said the district is conducting a full review of the matter and that the teacher will not be back in the classroom until it is completed, if ever.

Sometimes teachers lose it. Contrary to popular belief, teaching children is not easy. Especially when they don't learn something you worked very hard to teach.

You have to have really thick skin to withstand how you are attacked on a daily basis.

The first response to this display of incompetence was to defend it. Unreal.

I'm going to take the counter opinion and say that Dallas probably needs more teachers with the balls to say this to their class.

Yeah, the teacher was probably right in what he actually said. However, his delivery left much to be desired.

We're talking about Dallas schools. The delivery was probably necessary to get through to them.

Nope.

Just time to pare down the schools for those that can benefit from them.

I get that, but being professional would probably have been for the best. Now, it's all about what he said instead of what caused him to say it.

ah.....the law of diminishing......who'd a thunk it....

When you rationalized the situation.

Rationalization of bad behavior is one of many tactics out of the leftist playbook.

I'm not defending what he did. I'm just explaining why that sometimes happends.

There is never any excuse to curse at children.

I've had kids curse at me and even attempt to hit me. I have never ever lost my cool.

I'm still in the teaching profession. However, I now run a computer lab where students do online courses. So things are a little different. I still get to help kids on their lessons here and there though.

Now you are trying to utilize deflection, another defense mechanism common among leftists.

http://raoulderagon.com/2011/01/12/20-eg...your-life/

Quote:4. Deflection – Changing the subject to avoid dealing with something painful, distressing or anxiety-producing. The person who deflects will attempt to protect his ego by redirecting attention to another person, place, thing or circumstance. This is often noticed in arguments when one person responds to an accusation or complaint by pointing to a time when the other person did something equally undesirable.

I can't exactly say that I wouldn't lose my **** on a bunch of teenagers. I can see myself yelling at them.

Still, it's also something that should get you canned.

I'm pretty sure this guy will get canned.

I don't condone it but I must admit, I've wanted to tell a kid or two how I really feel.
