I told his GF who I teach 2 periods prior after school
Today the student apologized and said "I'll never do it again"
What did we learn here???
ask_aubry 58m So as a teacher, you are putting the labor on a child? You are teaching a boy that he needs to depend on girls to regulate them? This is terrifying.
the replies showing why this a problem of not teaching boys to self regulate

You mean he empowered a girl to take action to defuse a situation by talking some sense into him?
Part of growing up is taking your first steps without training wheels and guardrails.
I think she did pretty well.
hexaa_decimal 58m Of course you're a man. Only a man would think putting the responsibility of the emotional regulation of a violent student on an underage girl is empowerment. Empowering her would be convincing her that she deserves better than some violent idiot who threatens the staff that teaches him. Empowered women know that we don't owe anyone emotional labour just because we're women.
he thinks the teacher passing off a violent boy to his girlfriend is "giving space"
no that's passing off accountability
jpdbuchanan 51m
If he were that violent, he wouldn't have waited.
Unregulated emotion would have exploded right then. The kid was talking shit, and the teacher understood that. He was angry, he gave him space to cool off rather than escalating.
This is how dudes have been taught to use girls and women to regulate their emotions rather than take accountability themselves.
They honestly think somehow this is empowering women.

The "hate on the left"?
Let's talk about that hate.
WHAT exactly do we hate?
We hate children going hungry in the richest country in the world
We hate systems that create generational inequality, poverty, & trauma We hate the powerful harming the vulnerable

Milgram literally concluded:
" ... , that if a system of death camps were set up in the United States of the sort we had seen in Nazi Germany, one would be able to find sufficient personnel for those camps in any medium-sized American town."

My freshman year of high school I attended the football game. The crowd repeatedly chanted, "<nameOfSchool> Rules!"

Political journalists need to stop pretending they don't know what Republicans are going to do.
"They told us what they were going to do. They published it. They put it on a website. And when it happened, the press was surprised."
