Angry Teachers Caught on CameraFollow

I think most teen agers are cry baby *** holes...

I think they should be given the ability to beat the little sh*ts. People wonder why kids (like the first vid)have sh*tty grades. If someone had beat the sh*t out of me I would have stayed in the G.A.T.E. program instead of zoning out in front of the tube when I was supposed to do my assignment.

Edit- Spelling+grammar

No. In fact, technology has made them even more of a distraction since, instead of merely making a phone call during class, one can now text message, play video games, access the internet, listen to MP3's and, yes, take covert photographs and videos.No. Lots of distracting things are generally disallowed in class.

Generation Y for the loss.. Seriously, we should just beat them all with rattan canes systematically. This is idiocracy at its finest.

Frankly, if the professor wanted to kick them out of class thats fine with me. That guys lucky I didnt get his cell phone.. I would have dismantled it right in front of him.

I don't need news articles to discredit the videos, because all the evidence points to it being fake. You're the one that needs to show me articles.

Why was the lecture being filmed in the first place? Why was the camera focused on the guy talking prior to the teacher shifting his attention? The whole thing was clearly staged.

I suppose this could theoretically have all been part of a plot by the students to expose the professor's improper punishments. But that's pretty implausible. Why would students waste money to buy a, from what I can see, decent-quality cellphone? To expose a punishment that they can avoid by just not being dickheads?

Why was there no reaction whatsoever on the part of any of the students? You'd think that if it was real, the offending student would say something in protest, and even if he didn't, you'd hear a quiet reaction from the rest of the students (an "ooh" or something, or just a quiet stir).

Not to mention, no professor would be stupid enough to risk his job and any future jobs doing something like that. The fact that he doesn't look any older than the students doesn't do much for your case either.

That's right. And cars kill people so we should ban cars! No.Let me know what they tell you.Maybe, maybe not. Ask the school what their policy on reporting teachers is.Not really, no.They'd almost certainly be allowed to under IDEA. And the instructor would be notified and it'd be done via video camera rather than cellphone under the desk. Which of the students making the linked videos was disabled?

Normally I just lurk in the Asylum for entertainment, but this is just too amusing to pass up.



Because cell phones are essential to cultivating learning, I know. The only thing they are more efficient at being in the classroom is distracting and cheating.



No. It actually detracts from learning, since it is a distraction. Which is better for learning: a student taking notes, or a student texting, calling, and taking videos on their phone?



The school can make up it's own rules about talking in class and badmouthing a teacher; they can certainly ban the use of phones in class. And what does not allowing cell phones during class have to do with freedom of the press? You're taking an issue that is decided privately by each school and applying it like it's a government restriction on national entities, which is absurd.



You can keep a phone in your pocket or bookbag and glance at it when you need the time, provided it's on vibrate and will not distract you or others. Comparing a watch to something that makes and receives calls, has noises, takes and plays audio and video, and plays games is, again, absurd.
