This opens it up to people who actually live in LA, but can't get Amazon to change their state qual.

Howdy My Peeps!

Soooo... I'm back to turking somewhat full time after a failed adventure in my first teaching job. There was just too much violence in that school. My son (kindergartner) was pushed backwards down a slide and broke his collar bone. At least that's what he says, but I've gotten 4 different stories from other teachers and the principal said "this stuff just happens because we can't watch everyone at all times". On top of that I had several students punching each other and stabbing each other with pencils in my classroom (2nd grade) and I was not allowed to write referrals or enforce discipline. The most I could do was ask them to go get a drink of water and think about what they'd done and I was only allowed to send a note home to parents. Friday was my last straw... Two of my students verbally and physically threatened three other students on the playground stating "You'd better run pussies or I'm going to beat your ass!" while making punching motions with their hands. Of course the students ran, and they were chased with even more threats. I called our Dean of Students and put my foot down saying that they needed to be written up as I DO NOT tolerate bullying in my classroom. The 2 students were pulled out of my class for maybe 5 minutes and upon returning they interrupted my lesson coming back in laughing and saying they didn't get written up or even in trouble!!! Lots of "I told you so's" directed to me... and of course the students that are being bullied were visibly upset. Needless to say I'm done with this school and am pursuing other opportunities. Right now I plan on subbing and checking out other schools before I decide where I'm going to accept a full time position. I'll be trying to make up the difference in money with turk. Luckily teacher's are in high demand here... I just refuse to work for a school that practically encourages violence and bullying.

Sorry for the long rant, but I needed to get this off of my chest. I feel so bad that my hands were tied and I was unable to help the students that were facing the bullying...

I am sorry you had to deal with that. It sounds horrible.

I'm so sorry you had to deal with all of that, it sounds like you'd fit in perfect with our schools here....they hold a very high zero tolerance policy..

I have always hated how this all goes on the teacher. Sounds like more of a parental problem to me. My kids were scared to death to get in trouble at school for fear of what happens when they get home.

That sounds stressful. I wonder if you could call the school district and speak to someone to tell them what is going on at that school. Even if you are not going to be there anymore it might make life better for some of the students getting bullied.

I thought that's what most schools do considering how things are... apparently I was sadly mistaken with this "prestigious charter school". I thought it was supposed to be better than public schools. My opinion is now that charter schools are a joke and I need to go to public schools.

Sadly most of the parents didn't care... or couldn't even speak/read English well enough to understand what I was trying to tell them. Without support from parents or administration I felt like there was nothing I could do to provide my students with a safe learning environment.

I agree. It's so sad you have to deal with this and even sadder for the children with zero responsibility for their actions.
