Which kind of idiot says that to an elementary student? That incredibly dumb.
One of my siblings actually got repeatedly in trouble because my parents weren't dropping her off early. This was in elementary school. Some of the buses didn't even get there by the time she wanted them there (10 minutes before the morning bell rang). The school 'solved' the situation by moving my sister to a different class. Which I guess did solve it for my sister, but I still have no idea how the school decided that was a normal thing to tell children 10 and under to do??
Elementary teacher
They couldn't even graduate to middle school, such a shame
Elementary school teachers are often children themselves.
Oh, so that's a common thing and it wasn't just the mentally unstable morons at my elementary school? I'm not even surprised tbh.
Oh, it was definitely the mentally unstable morons at your school, but it was also the mentally unstable morons at everyone else’s school too
Kids can't fight back after all, so there is no pushback punishing the teachers.
Good luck with teens, who will get parente hawking for them, or adults, who will rip her a new one right there and then.
We aren't so lucky.
Children that age have a very sharp sense of fairness and cause/effect relation. They sort their issues out if allowed to.
The adults in that role most often take it either for the social prestige or because they couldn't get anything better.
I had this sort of shit from my teacher, she was such a cunt.
Every teacher and coach I had growing up. And I still hear it working in education.
I and all my classmates had walking distance to school - almost all of us without having to cross a road. It was very common at that age to walk to school alone, thus being responsible for being on time as long as we were sent out at an appropriate time.
I grew up in Europe.
They said that a lot to me
teachers are cunts a lot of the time
The kind that only knows how to solve problems by punishing.
