The problem is not the 50, not the CEI,not the poor condition of the schools,not even the portables.
The problem is the total lack of Discipline!!!
How do teach a child that comes to class with a poor attitude, no pen,no paper and sits down and tells you he will not do the days assignment.
If you call his parent you will recive little or no help.
I will not even go into the gang fights and profanity in the halls.
You here all these wonderful plans from downtown but no one ever talks about improving the real problem which is POOR DISCIPLINE!
I have been a substitute teacher for 8 years and it is the same in all the schools I work at.Wake up DISD you have a lot of rude disrespectful kids!
[Ed Note: Hey! In high school, I was rude and disrespectful--once. Then I got my back side beaten by the late, great Mr. Albert Dudley. Problem solved!]
