The teacher caused the disruption. She could have ignored it.

No she didn't. That shit distracts me all the time. Some stupid cunt in one of my classes is always snickering and tapping away while the teacher ignores it and it drives me nuts. It's a damn good thing I don't need to pay attention in the class.

Who pays for the High school students education? Who pays the teachers salaries?

The taxpayers who elect members of the board of education. This board sets the policies and procedures of the schools within the district. If they do not feel that texting is a problem in class, the electorate should vote members to the board who feel the policies should be revised. If the policy is against existing state law, federal law, etc. then a person with standing has the right to sue to have the policy revised.

Teacher could have dealt with this whole thing and other disturbances in a different way. Would make life much easier for herself. oh well i guess.

Or she could have been trying to make an example of this student to deter the other students from engaging in disruptive behavior.

Because that would be disrupting class like the teacher did //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
That money comes from the state which comes from taxes. That stuff will be payed by everyone either way.

ok, so then they would have ignored it too, and not needed to be there. Your argument is going nowhere.

so youre saying this disruption in the class was the taxpayers fault and not the teacher's then?

All she did was cost the parents more money. So now teachers are supposed to be affecting the home life of the students and their families? If you havent forgotten, there is a recession going on.

How is my argument not going anywhere? YOU said confronting the student would cause a distraction but then turned around and said if administration was in the room, why didn't they do anything.

No, it was the student's fault. The student engaged in disruptive behavior.

If the recession was a real hardship on the family, one would assume that a friviolous cell phone would be the first thing to go. Yes, school polices adversely effect the financial situation of the families of poor students. Metro-Nashville schools has a policy that fines the parents of truant students. Truant students are disruptive to the classroom when they arrive late and because of compulsory education laws, they cannot tell the student to go to hell, like they would in a college classroom.

I said the teacher caused the distraction. Administration could just suspend her and that would be that, without even causing any type of problem. This was all based on me saying if they were there....which they werent. Your argument was going nowhere as soon as you started.

the teachers wouldn't be affecting the home life of the student if the student would just follow the rules.

its the students fault, she broke the rules, got warned, broke them again, and got punished for it. what's so hard to understand about that?

That is EXACTLY what teachers do. Don't forget, they are the ones that teach most of the skills you need in life. A lot of students see their teachers most than they see theiri own parents. Teachers play a HUGE role in the student's and family's lives. Who gives a shit about the recession? If the parents did a better job at home maybe the kid wouldn't have been an *** at school and they wouldn't have to pay for a ticket.

Why is a cell phone frivolous? It may be to you, but not to everyone else. Maybe they dont have a home phone and instead have a family plan?

The late student comparison doesnt really apply in all situations. IN my classes in HS and even in College, that was something that couldnt be ignored. But not all HS are the same. You could have big classrooms, they could walk in and get a late mark later that day

It was probably set to vibrate and her boyfriend was calling her.
