The middle schooler had been begging to opt out, citing headaches from the Chromebook screen and a dislike of the AI chatbot recently integrated into it.

Parents across the country are taking steps to stop their children from using school-issued Chromebooks and iPads, citing concerns about distractions and access to inappropriate content that they fear hampers their kids’ education.

    The most I dealt with was around 36. I had around 28 chairs.

    However, the feeder middle school had class sizes of 60+. There were literal riots, with multiple teachers injured, that the district covered up.

    Stocks would absolutely not be allowed. I had a student that spent fifteen minutes screaming and cussing me out, straight to my face in front of a principle. When she said “I wish I wasn’t in your class” and I said “me too” - I got in trouble. (She was mad because I wrote her up for literally just walking into my classroom to sell snacks. She didn’t attend classes, she just did whatever she wanted.)

      This was a public school and they tolerated this shit?

      Sweet Jesus the standards have fallen.

      Is it the parents, school board and administration or a combination of all 3?
