Why do so many schoolteachers take forever in the teacher's lounge? Is drinking beer in there or smoking allow

Try dealing with hundreds of little A-holes all day!  Actually, the teacher's lounge is a gathering place to compare notes on trouble makers, and how they can combine to make his or her life a living hell!  Feel you are being treated poorly by several teachers?  You must have been the daily topic in the lounge! By the way, nice grammar!  go to school!

Teachers are there to help you - I asked my health teacher about a problem with one of my friends, and she pointed me in the right direction, so don't be scared to talk to them!\n\n**I mean my friend was having a personal problem - so I asked the teacher.... I wasn't talking like a cat fight with one of them, it was something different....

lol. no there are absoulutley no laws about teachers making students not eat in school because they kept them in at lunch time. but there's a first time for everything. maybe if you took a test or quiz that day after lunchtime you could complain you didnt do well b/c u were too hungry and its proven that brains arent active when theres not food to digest and go to court. It could go to the Supreme Court b/c its a good argument and you'd be a hero for all students across the U.S

Nonsmoker: I'm under 18 and already I know that smoking is REALLY BAD!!! I hate it. I know a lot of things by joining after school groups and they teach about in school sometimes. I would never really want to be around someone who smokes, unless they are family or really close friends.

Most schools will allow or not say anything for the use of the local school after hours or when not in use.\n   However, the best thing is the direct approach. Go to the school principal and ask him/her.\n     If there are any requirement against it they will let you know. If not they will give their ok with what ever restrictions they may have.\n     That way you will not have to worry about breaking any rules or laws and getting kicked off.

Yes, but it depends on the teacher. I would be careful about that. When I was going to school there were these two guys that would show up about 15 minutes late everyday and my teacher at first didn't say anything until one day he asked them "why are you two late to my class everyday" they shrugged their shoulders like they didn't know and all of a sudden my teacher screamed "get the hell out of my class!". That was funny but I sure wouldn't want to be in there shoes. I would try to make it on time.

Here's another question for you:  Why is it that students behave very badly in the classroom but when the principal walks in they are nice until s/he walks out?  It goes both ways you know. \n\nFurther, don't paint a picture with such a broad brush; not all teachers modify their behavior when an administrator is in the room.

I'm not a teacher, but my parents both are. To me, it seems to be that once you're a teacher, you never, ever stop being teacher. You can't avoid taking your work home (and I mean emotionally, not just tonnes and tonnes of marking!) and you will run into ex-pupils for eternity! \n\nAlso, there are the classes that are simply unteachable. A friend's mum is also a teacher, in a worse school, and she regularly comes home with broken bones from children throwing chairs etc at her.\n\nHowever, I think what is beginning to become the hardest part of the job for my parents is all the paperwork for things like taking children on a school trip. Also the lack of gratitude that some parents have.

If it is anything like the law here in Massachusetts, It SUCKS. It is another step in our DICTATORSHIP government in becoming COMMUNIST. Please don't misunderstand me. To ban smoking in a restaurant is one thing. I say this as smoking CAN affect the taste of food and for a NON-smoker to have to sit there and try to enjoy a meal and be forced to breath the smoke from my cigar, well it isn't right. BUT Cigaretts and Cigars, and Pipes go with coffee or drinks. And to tell a person YOU can't SMOKE when you are in this bar is NOT RIGHT. I say put this question on a ballot and let the voters decide. WE the PEOPLE, should be able to say WE want smoking or WE don't want smoking. If WE the people decide what WE want or don't want then I could except the law if it passed. BUT for our DICTATORSHIP government to just make these laws and FORCE them down OUR throats I say again it is WRONG. Oh I don't even want to hear that the BAR-tender is being forced to breath second hand smoke. Thats is a BIG CROCK of chit. I mean if you are bothered by fire, then why would you become a fire-man. If you are bothered by guns, then why would you become a police man. The same applys to bar tending. If you are bothered by second hand smoke WHY become a bar tender? Sorry to have run off so long but this issue goes right up my backside.

Oh, yes, that's a big one for me! I think special ed teachers should be better trained then they are. None of the ones I've seen seem to be trained on how to handle the behavior issues that go hand in hand with things like autism, adhd, odd, etc. I don't even agree with integration with kids with those disorders, to be honest. The type of socialization those happens in a regular classroom is not the kind of socialization that children with autism/pdd-nos need. I don't agree with the theory that you throw a child with social issues into a social setting to sink or swim, because all to often, they will sink. They can't force themselves to be social, no matter what we do. If schools were the cure all for social anxieties then we wouldn't have 'social misfits' in school, we wouldn't have shy people, there would be no such thing as introverts. So, it's a failed philosophy, and I think they should be in smaller, special ed classes where the teachers have received MUCH MORE TRAINING than what they are getting now, so they know how to deal with each individual dx and work with them. So, yes, it stands to reason that general teachers should have the same training if they're going to have special kids in there class. It's not fair to expect the kids to react normally when they don't have the skills to do so, to me, that's just cruel. Most of these disorders have sensory issues that make it so hard to perform in a classroom, and those are not addressed in school therapy too often. I chose to homeschool my kids long before my Tim came along with autism/pdd-nos (they're not sure of which dx), but having him, and learning about his needs and his limits confirmed in me to homeschool him, I feel it's the best thing in the world for him. He still socializes, but it's on his terms. I know he can only handle it for about an hour, then he tantrums, so we stay within that guideline. He was on a bowling league this last season and it was about an hour, and he did WONDERFULLY. Anything longer, and it would have been a nightmare!

Of course! They should also be given booze to relax after a tough day at school. How about some dope for birthday parties, too? Sicko!

lol why do you need to go through all the trouble to disable it?  My school seems to block everything off of it's computers.  I even had trouble reasearching a paper about smoking because they had blocked all the sites related to smoking!  It's ridiculous!  But hey you just have to learn to live with it.

Well, it wouldn't hurt once in a while, but teachers like to VENT during their fee time and cannot always do that with the vice-principal around.   Once when the vice-prin. was in the teachers lounge, i happened to say something negative about the principal not about him personally but about how some rules were not being enforced consistently.  The next day the principal saw me in the hall and said hello, then casually added, "by the way if you have any constructive criticism, feel free to come by my office!!!"\nI was angry that what i thought had been a private conversation went directly to the principal.  since that day i do not trust veeps.

Only if you want to be suspended, expelled, and/or prosecuted by the full extent of the law. Seriously, some guys got suspended recently for EATING THE TEACHER'S COOKIES. No joke.

I am very upset with your statement. I am a teacher but I typically put in 2-4 hours a night because I am bored with television and I can't move much because of my hip problem. (I am being operated on next week.) As a teacher and librarian, I like answering questions and helping people but I try not to do anyone's homework for them. \n\nHow do you know most of these people are doing this at work? Can you prove this statement?

Campaign Banning eat in class. Actually what's wrong with eating in class,school kid needs to eat to grow. Normally when students get sleepy,teachers would ask them to take sweets or candies.
