Student Suspended for Taping Teacher

Status
Not open for further replies.
An 18 year old kid brought a video camera to school to tape his teacher who "goes crazy at least once a week". He wrapped the camera in a shirt and taped his teacher yelling at the class for not standing during the national anthem. When a classmate refused, the teacher pulled the chair from under him. The kid posted the video on his site. When the school found out, the student was suspended.
The site messed up on the video so it doesn't show properly for some reason, I made a torrent of the VIDEO, its the bottom one tittled mantel-chairincident.wmv

I can't believe the kid got a 10 day suspension, jeez.
 
I had a high school math teacher who would make racist comments every day and was just a nutbag...

One day, on a Jewish holiday, a black student asked:

"Mr. Goldstein, shouldn't you be home today?"
"Why's that?'
"It's a Jewish holiday."
"Shouldn't you be in jail in Puerto Rico with Revrend Al Sharpton?"

That was just horrible.

He would talk about his "gorilla" of a son, and how he was worthless. He said Mexicans would suck the gas out of busses with siphons to avoid paying for it. It was just like some un-loveable version of All in the Family every day.
 
Countdown to the ACLU's involvement in this little affair...
 
I found some of the Goldstein quotes from my LiveJournal:

http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=goodcow&itemid=51779
E194 - Some of Mr. Goldstein's quotes...
I'm cleaning my room, and scanning assorted stuff that I find, and I came across a list of things Mr. Goldstein said in Math class last year. Look at this messed up list. (this was just one day's worth of material.

"If you don't understand this, you probably smoked too much dope sometime in your life."
"If you don't find this easy, you don't belong in this building."
"If you don't have a T.I. calculator, you're just playing with dynamite."
"Kids who cheat on the Regents should be shot on sight."

"It isn't messy! Cleaning out garbage filled with maggots, now that's messy!"
"My garbage isn't filled with maggots."
"You know, in Australia, they eat maggots."

"They got these Asian kids who work in China making your calculators for rice."

The public education system at its finest.

"You know Alex, I've always wanted a kid like you to push me down the stairs so I could file for disability."
"Can I do it now?"
"Nah, it's too late now."
"Better late than never."

E484 - Hoodlums...
The hoodlums in my school shot a fire extinguisher at Mr. Goldstein today, and ran.

Man, I miss that class... :lol :lol :lol
 
We did this at my private school. My friend Brad brought a camera and we taped a teacher who would hit on girls and who would throw stuff at the nerdy kids. He would freak out and yell, mess up the room, and NOBODY BELIEVED US.

We turned the tape in to the principal and he was fired the next day.
JUSTICE!

He didn't stand for the national anthem? You can do that?!?

I must have gone to a very liberal high school but we never had the pledge or the national anthem.

The teacher didn't get in trouble for assaulting a student..?

That's not assault.

Schools never had this until 9/11, then every school got a jolt of patriotism or something and decided to do it.

Sure they did. I've been saying the pledge and doing the anthem since the 1st grade.

You really have a thing for taping and photographing people. Have you considered a career in stalking?
 
loxy said:

Contact's not required for assault. I'd label what he did as such.

I don't know how things are now, but I graduated high school in 94, and the last time we had a pledge of allegiance was elementary school, and never that I can remember did we listen to the anthem.

He's got a point, Olimario. Can we expect pictures of this sexy gym teacher on GAF anytime soon?
 
We didn't have the pledge or the anthem at the public high school I attended.

That kid is a puss, though. From the description, I thought the teacher violently pulled out the chair or something. That kid should just be disciplined for being a whiny pussbag. I have lost all faith in the rebeliousness of teens.
 
Ugh; that just renewed my gladness at being out of high school; I had about 3 pitiable teachers like that, and tons of "question authority without a fucking clue about the answer" classmates.

The teacher should have beaten the little brat over the head with the chair WWE style.
My Science teacher in Grade 9 literally threw a chair at a student's head (in my class). No one complained either, the kid was a fucking dick :lol
 
I wish one of my high school teachers had tried to make me pledge allegiance to the flag and then pulled my chair out from under me. There would have been a completely different ending to that tape.
 
At first I thought the title of this thread was "Student Suspended for Tapping Teacher". I was like "Dang, another one of these threads??"
 
We did the same thing back in 4th grade. I told my friend to turn his sound recording pen on and get all the crap she gives us. Problem was, when we had no material, we'd have various students imitate her. They went way overboard and sounded nothing like her so we had to scrap it. Guess we weren't as organized back in 4th grade. :lol
 
:lol :lol :lol

My History teacher last year was creepy. He would hit on girls, and he said the dumbest things.

"That about makes as much sense as giving out speeding tickets at the Indy 500."
"Boob spelled backwards is still boob."
"That about makes as much sense as having a pay toilet at a diarrhea ward."
"The answer isn't A Raisin in the Sun because that's about Chinese missionaries."
 
Oh man, do I have teacher stories...Here are a couple:

In 8th Grade there was 1 math teacher that no one wanted to have because there were rumors that he was batshit insane. Usually, teachers get a bad rap and you find out that they aren't so bad after being in their class a while. Well, the first day of class, there were a couple of idiots who couldn't stop playing around and laughing. He warned them once. The second time, he rushed from across the room and threw their desk across the room. They sat there for about a second looking real stupid in their chairs with no desk. He told them to get up or he would toss them with their chairs. The quickly got up and ran to the back of the class. He told them to stand there for the remainder and not say a 1 word or lean against the wall. And they did. Later, the same day, some idiot peaked his head in the class to wave at one of his chums or something. The teacher threw a chalk board eraser fast ball straight at his head. The guy ducked out at the last micro second. The teacher chased after him in the hall, caught him, threw him in the class and sat him next to the fire extinguisher. He told him to stare at and read the fire extinguisher for the remainder of the class and that there would be a quiz after class. If he failed, there would be dire consequences. I laughed. :P

After a few weeks of his class, you could tell he wasn't so bad. I think he just liked to scare the shit out of his students the first day so there wouldn't be problems afterwards. He was kind and had a decent sense of humor.

In HS 10th grade, we had a history teacher that was totally wacko. I had him in the 9th grade for Law, but I think he lost his mind by the 10th grade. He would say the most retarded and innaccurate history "facts," curse the "white man" and his fat wife every day. Some of his fat wife jokes were hillarious.

He would also turn up the AC up all the way every day. We later found out through a conversation he was having with another teacher that it was because he wanted the girls' nipples to erect. :lol We did have some super hot chix in there.

My senior year, I had a economics with this incredibly annoying chick. She would have an (often incorrect) answer for everything. She thought she was the smartest being on earth. Every day she managed to piss me off with her big mouth. Anyway, one day, she went off on a rant as per usual. After everyone was done rolling their eyes at her, the teacher put some stuff up on the projector. She began to discect it and bitch about the homework, her grades, etc. and the teacher comes back with one of my fav lines of all time: "Wow, looks like somebody had bitch syrup with her attitude pancakes this morning." I laughed my ass off and so did most of the class. Her face turned bright red and she finally shut up for once in the 4 months we were there. It was a classic moment.
 
Schools Superintendent Thomas L. Seidenberger issued a statement that "not all details cited on the Internet regarding this incident are factual." The statement did not elaborate.

WTF?!?!?!?! Not all the details are factual... video clip looks pretty factual to me...Oh wait we didn't see the part before this where the teacher says... ok I'm about to pretend I'm going crazy to show you guys how it's done...

Wow. Looks like yet another high school teacher that takes out all of his anger on his students because he can't control anything else in his life.

The pledge has been around forever.

This incident had to do with the national anthem though. Did you have that every morning throughout school? I really can't remember that I ever did.
 
You get demerits/detentions for not standing for the pledge and stuff here, and I do make my homeroom kids stand for it. I don't personally believe in the patriotic crap, but it's a lot easier than having to listen to the principal or something harass me for not disciplining the kids.

I always hated doing the pledge thing, but hey, everyone has to do it, so just get the fuck over it. If we're gonna start pussy-footing around like this, then there's really not a whole lot a teacher can do for discipline. I mean, honestly, students have to have some of their liberties curbed, or every class would be chaos. PEACE.

You're actually very right. It's not like society depends on teachers to teach kids that some things in life are more important than taking the path of least resistance, right? And really, why should we even bother teaching children about civil liberties? As long as it makes your job easier, then don't worry about that whole "Bill of Rights" thing. Its kind of overrated anyways...
 
When I read the title of this thread I thought it would have some sexual angle to it as in the student "taped the teacher with duct-tape" or something to that effect. :lol
 
From 1st to 12th grade, we had the pledge and the national anthem every morning. However, if you chose not to participate you could just sit there if you wanted to (teachers didn't have to participate either). On average, about half the students in a class would participate.

Fuck, that's one giant waste of five minutes.

We had to stand for the pledge every day, but after a teacher flipped out(much in the manner of this guy) because a student refused to stand, a few people including myself decided that we weren't going to stand any more. I never recited the pledge, I just stood there anyway.

This made the faculty a bit upset, so it was deemed that anybody could choose to sit during the pledge, but had to provide a written explanation of why they wouldn't. They only accepted "valid" excuses, which extended only to "I'm a jehovah's witness and my religion prevents me from participating".

My written excuse consisted more or less of "Fuck off, do you have any idea how much you are perverting that for which the country should stand by forcing people to pledge to the flag on a daily basis?"

I was a bit of an ass in high school.

I understand your sentiment, but the path of least resistance ensures financial security in most cases. Why do people in the military do what they do? Not necessarily b/c they agree with it, but b/c they are paid for it. I'm personally a scofflaw who does things his own way, but in the role of a teacher, I often have to follow the rules, regardless of how stupid some of them are. Not doing so teaches the students (who are more observant than they get credit for) that you can break rules if you disagree with them. That leads to a loss in discipline. If you can prove to me otherwise, I'd love to hear it. But from experience, I've learned to understand why teachers sometimes act the way they do.

It's a conflict that eats me up inside. I mean, I do all sorts of wrong stuff, but I still have to smack the kids for those same actions. I wish I could level with them and let them do what they want, but free will is the last thing you need in a classroom. A learning environment require structure and order. At least with modern class sizes (20+ per class), you simply have no choice. You can go freeform with that many kids, b/c there will always be a few who want to push the envelope and cause problems. And trouble propogates through a classroom at warp speed. If class sizes were realistic (a dozen or less per class), then you could allow kids more personal freedom without jeopardizing the education of the other students in the room. My Summer school classes were a lot more relaxed and enjoyable than my classes during the school year. But that's only b/c they gave me 10 kids to work with. But my current classes are 25-33, so curbing freedom helps immensely with crowd control. And my class sizes are small by FL standards. Eventhough the law calls for numbers lower than mine, most schools you go to have class sizes of 30-50. Sometimes multiple teachers teaching multiple subjects. I side with teachers a lot in their actions, b/c we are responsible for discipline and control of the class. And there's really no way to do it until class sizes come way down. PEACE.
 
Almost none of my teachers did the pledge while I was in highschool. I guess it depends on where you at, but even that shouldn't matter. The students do have the right to excuse themselves from the pledge.

I was saying both since the 1st grade as well, and that's like over 25 years ago.

Uh I'm 34, we said the pledge when I was in school...EONS ago......
 
I love teachers that you don't know if they're perverted or naive. I had a girl say this class reminds me of her house. Just a bunch of yelling and arguing, during one of the classes fights. The teacher laughs. Bout a 50 year old guy. Bald, moustache, Hulk Hogan like face, in pretty good shape. He laughs though, and says "I guess that'd make me your daddy, huh Shannon? Why don't you call me daddy from now on. I'm your daddy". I just look at her and we start cracking up.

He's done a billion other odd things too though so I don't know. He has nicknames for almost all the girls. "Sweat pea", "Jammy", etc. Weird dude.
