Rules for teacher conduct aren't "laws". They're guidelines laid down by school boards. >obvious<To strictly enforce that you would have to define it. Then that means it would get defined improperly. Stop trying to make more laws. Laws don't do schite.
Teacher story of the day.
My wife has 28 students in her 3rd grade class. She has one kid that has a severe behavior issue. When I was in school these kids would be grouped with the special ed kids and not in class with "normal students".
Bad kid flat out refuses to do anything. He jacks with the other kids and does anything in class to get attention. Yesterday he had a ring on. He would rub the ring on his desk to heat it up and then press it against other kids to try and burn them.
Today he spent the entire day drawing dicks on whatever he possibly could. My wife said he drew about 300 dicks; she did find it funny that he would expend that much energy on drawing dicks and not just doing his class work.
The specialists at the school that handle these kids said they can't deal with him for another week because they are in training until then. The admin just tells my wife to be firm with him and be creative, but they won't intervene. The mom doesn't think he has a behavior problem and think the school just wants to label him. Talking to mom is useless.
My wife can't physically touch the kid in any way. So his deeds go unpunished and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
Its insanity and this is why teachers quit.
.. or a collapse of the entire public primary education system. Which might well happen.Sadly, it will probably require an exodus of teachers leaving to drive substantive change.

The scandal is that we don't yet have a statewide school voucher system in Texas. But the public pressure to have that keeps getting stronger. Something's got to give soon. And when it happens there'll be a flood of students fleeing public schools, especially the really bad ones.the 12% of teachers leaving Houston ISD every year hasn't made any significant changes in the way they operate, it would seem. Does that need to double? When teachers are faced with 50-60 kids per class, will that be enough to get them to walk if they're facing serious issues?
They could quit and start private schools or private tutoring. That's how my son's new school started. Founder and most/all her teachers came out of public education disillusioned with how they are run.

I had a cousin that was a teacher in Madisonville. One student had a crossed eye. The school district offered to pay to have it corrected. The parents said NO!!. They were getting gov. assistance for his handicap. Maybe the same with this students behavior problem.Teacher story of the day.

I doubt many people quit over that.Some lefties are saying this is because of some wanting to arm teachers.
Also, who the **** talks to lefties. Commie queer sympathizers.Some lefties are saying this is because of some wanting to arm teachers.
Hopefully people without school age children will be able to donate vouchers to someone going to a school of their choice. Would hate to still be paying taxes to just whatever the local public school is.
