Wow, what a brilliant idea, banning social interaction between normal, growing kids. Bet if they just made every kid stay home every daytime they'd eliminate bullying and fights all together and save on all those expensive teacher costs!
Awww that's cute. You think that teachers make a lot of money.
Many schools, especailly in my state have been historically notorious for implementing idiotic policies that inconvenience otherwise good students rather than actually dealing with the bad ones.
I want a Waldorf salad!
Taking away the rights of everyone won't stop the criminals. Communication is needed to effectively solve problems. Taping kids mouth shut breeds animosity and rebellion. Grow up administrators!
How about just getting some better administrators, perhaps even some with degrees in education administration rather than just failed football coaches.
i used to stay in coconut grove, mid to late 70's.
"The Man who Nailed His Hand to the Roof" would make a good Dr. Seuss book.
what's better than nailing grandma to the wall? i say nailin' a teacher roaming the hall! what's better than nailing vexation to doors? i say nailin' a mormon on the floors! what's more fun? roof nailin' in glee? i say nailing a cat in the streets!
As far as the no talking rules in school hallways, I'm reminded of Pink Flyod's ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL lyrics. We don't need no education........ ...and ...thought control......It says it all!
That's... Floyd's
When I first saw the video you mention, I was a teacher and found the video offensive because I did not in any way even remotely resemble the teacher as depicted in that video. Perhaps that's why I'm working in insurance now.
This hallway talking ban seems to have stemmed from frustration rather than considered thought. I wonder if it would have the desired effect.
Teacher-student rapport, communication between parents & children matters more. Reaction to socio-political changes also impacts these minds.
look at it...as uhh...free money...hired yourself a civil rights attorney and file a class action suit for violating your children's right to freedom of speech.
I'm cool with the idea of no talking between classes. You know how hard it is to get around 15 teenage girls just standing in front of my classes chatting? Or in the bathroom, taking up space. I know that the rule could have unwanted effects on our mental developement in the long term, but the idea of quiet hallways and people not standing around is pretty tempting... Meh, things like this always go sour eventually, just gotta watch and wait, I guess.
I went into a restaurant the other day, looking forward to getting a quiet bite to eat while conversing with my wife. There was a group of teeny bopper girls that came in shortly after and opted to sit in the booth next to us. What had begun as a nice, quiet escape turned into a series of loud, obnoxious chit chatting and excited screaming over a bunch of nonsense, like what color lipstick one girl started to wear, how another though an American Idol contestant was sooooo cute, etc. Little chicky idiots, I could not wait to get out of there.
Sounds like PINK FLOYD is right,,,,,,,,, if you dont keep your mouth shut, you cant have any pudding, how can you have any pudding , if you dont keep your mouth shut! These kids need to protest this new rule.
@bombo you did it again! Keep it up man , you will never peak in humor it just keeps getting better! LOL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i can afford to laugh because ive been impaled 4 times once a 4*4 rolled over and got me with 2 protruding 16 penny duplex nails sticking out and pinning my hand to another piece of wood.
