Student's Rights' take precedence!
Shocking new book examines the issues & offers answers
ATTACKING OUR EDUCATORS
by Derek Randel
Most teachers did not expect to be sworn at, spit on, shot, punched, stabbed, kicked or have items of furniture thrown at them when they decided to become part of the educational system. But dealing with violent and aggressive behavior has become part of the job description.
Why is it that many people are under the impression that students have full rights in school? What rights? School is not a democracy. If it were then we would be voting on whether or not there will be a math test next Friday.
Students have entered a system of education and society where discipline and responsibility are being replaced by the politically correct nonsense of students' rights. It seems that many of today's children have been victims of a social experiment of how best to raise our kids. Students' actions will continue to go downhill as long as we tell them that their rights are more important than their responsibilities. Politicians, the ACLU, liberals, and political correctness are undermining parental authority. Preaching that students have the right to use technology as they want, have cell phones on school grounds, and wear whatever they want is wrong. School administrators must have the right to discipline students who disrupt the school day. School is not a democracy and students need to be held accountable for their actions.
Factoid: Between 1997 and 2001, approximately 1.3 million teachers were victims to nonfatal crimes at schools in the USA
It isn't only students who are bullying teachers. Incidents where parents are attacking a teacher or school administrator are happening regularly. Bullying by parents, both in-person and via the Internet, with the ACLU in their corner, have grown totally out of control.
Learn how, why, and where this is happening, and what we can do about it, in Derek Randel's latest book, ATTACKING OUR EDUCATORS. This expose on violence launched at teachers, is shocking and informative and documents the facts surrounding this issue, substantiating an immediate call to action. In his book and on interviews, Derek Randel covers such topics as;
• How much physical violence do educators face, even at the elementary level?
• How to avoid 'parents gone wild'
• How educators are being cyber-bullied
• What issues are causing these problems
• Solutions for teachers, administrators and parents
The epidemic of attacking educators is happening all over the world and the problems basically come down to five issues:
1) Lack of parenting skills;
2) Lack of trust for educators;
3) Students are not held responsible for their actions;
4) Administrators not supporting the teachers; and
5) Teachers are not trained on how to handle these situations.
Derek Randel is a former teacher, who is now considered one of the nation's leading authorities on violence in our schools. He is an experienced speaker who travels the country speaking out to both parents and educators, and his best-selling book, Stopping School Violence has become a highly utilized resource guide on bullying in our schools. He regularly contributes to national and local market television news stories and is an experienced interview guest.
