Fight Night?

It seems that there is always something new going on in the education arena. This time, though, a teacher took that idea literally. In Los Angeles a substitute teacher for a probation camp decided to make let the juveniles fight and to regulate the fights. Although there are plenty of times that there a fights in the classroom and teachers do not jump in but call security to handle the issue, I have never heard of this. Up until this point I have seen a lot of different situations that teachers did not act appropriately, this somehow is a whole new blow,literally. 


Here is a link to the article: Teacher Busted For Running Fight Club With Students

At the end of the day if you are not ready to uphold a good morale standing please do not place yourself in the life of children. Being a parent is different than being a teacher, and vice versa. Many times people feel that they can do both but it is not the same. There are a lot of boundaries that teachers can not cross and it seems to be getting blurred.

Although the students that were in this facility are more prone to violence does not mean that a fight club. I am not sure as to where the world will end up but I do know that I do not want to be like any of these educators that have failed the system of education.

That is all. I am lost by the actions of these people.

America's Most Wanted adds Day Care Owner

Everyday something new is going on in the world. From Monday through Friday something new is happening every five seconds at the Daycare/ Preschool that I work in. We have to ensure the children's safety no matter what they do or how they do it, but that is our job and in all cases that is the job of every capable adult around the world. They are our future... But i think that everyone could understand my outrage when I woke up this morning picked up my phone and read the article from CNN that was entitled, Owner of Texas day care, site of fatal fire, now among 'most wanted' .


Read the article for yourself, I will always recommend that since this is my opinion and all the details are sometimes left out.  Even though I thought it was a joke or going to explain that this was a misunderstanding it did none of those things. This article demonstrate what most daycare providers fear, that not everyone who work in the child care field can be trusted. She left seven children unattended in her home,which is her daycare facility, to go to the grocery store. Unfortunately for her this time, she left a pot on the stove with oil, causing a fire to start. Due to the fact that she ran she has several charges against her placing her on the Most Wanted List, she is actually in the top 15 at the moment.
