My old french language arts teacher is in hot water for being too tough..

[Redlyne_mr2]

Aside from the homophobic comments, which I don't believe happened because I have a feeling he was gay, some of the students comments are just a joke.

When I went to River Glen that was a across the street we had a math teacher that used to smack us if we were to get questions wrong and yell. He also once threw a chair through a window.

Classic Red Deer.

That's nothing. Anyone go to school in the mid to late 70's?

In the 80s there were many "tough" but fair teachers, but then there was the occasional crazy teacher that made class interesting.

Pretty sure people don't name kids Billy anymore. It would be more like 'It's ok little Jaxon....

Lol..that's true.

one count of failing to treat students with respect and dignity, and one count of failing to maintain the honour of the profession.

In what kind of kangaroo court are those charges

Guy sounds like a typical power tripping asshole, probably needs to get over his little man syndrome and pick fights with people his own size. However I believe that in some of these cases, the kids PROBABLY deserved it.

I mean how seriously can kids in Red Deer really take french class

Or y'know, spelling it Byllie because that's cool and you're totally gonna find a magnet with that name on it at the gift shop.

It was a pretty hardcore class, we were reading university level novels that had content not suited for high school students in the 90s lol. He would be hard on us but we'd get him right back. I remember him starting each class with a bottle of Perrier, we would get to class early and shake the hell out of the bottle only to watch it explode over the chalk board when he opened it. We'd talk back to him, some of us would get kicked out, I remember a good friend of mine getting sent outside to read with the class through the window as he sat on the grass enjoying the sun lol. I still keep in touch with most of my french classmates through FB and unfortunately the kids who never fought back never really amounted to much in their older years.

To this day I still look for that elusive magnet/keychain with my name on it.

Several students stated a short-statured boy was frequently made to stand on top of his desk so the teacher could hear what he was saying.

This guy sounds like a legend!

I remember my buddy and I were running in the hall in grade 4 and a teacher literally grabbed our collars and dragged us the entire way to the principals office.

My parents showed up and told us to stop running in the fucking halls.

Oh how time have changed.

One thing I feel really bad for teachers/principals is you get to see how much worse kids are getting.

I think back of teachers I had in the 80's/90's and can only imagine what they think of the entitled shits they have to deal with today.

[btimbit]

Sounds hilarious to me I had worse


One of my teachers is on the run for sexual assault on a minor Funny thing, he was actually one of the better teachers I ever had

I'll try and find the article

Edit: Oh, nevermind, not on the run guess they caught him

Spare the rod, spoil the child. Or something.

I was a trouble child for sure. I remember our music teacher blew the entire budget on buying 30 ukuleles. During recess, me and a friend took it upon ourselves to de tune them all. She started foaming at the mouth, throwing chalk, grabbing kids by the ear etc etc. And this was in the mid 90's. Teacher's put up with a lot of BS.

Still better than all the "no fail" teachers.

My French teacher was a TV in the classroom.Madame something had black hair.

Can we give this guy a raise?
