My sister said they're not having a Valentine's Day party because some of her classmates were talking. So the whole class is being punished.
I HATE that. My class was called the worst in the school. It was the SAME kids acting up. I didn't. My friends didn't. But we got punished.
And the bitch of a PE teacher we had, made everyone keep running because I physically couldn't keep up. Most of them were into sports, so they were in good shape. I was overweight and slow. She kept picking on me and everyone got pissed at ME instead of the raging bitch teacher.
I don't think a whole class should be punished for a few acting up.
And I don't think bitchass teachers should be able to bully their students that way.
Your opinions?

I know how it is
But when it was the kids acting up, they got anger in their direction
Teacher being a prick? The regular teachers aren't like that. Subs we gang up on and drive away. Even if the one they're picking on isn't well-liked
Like the one that started by insisting my name was not what it is and what she said it was
No
Fuck you
She went downhill from there
We let the classes with her for the rest of the day know, and after that we never saw her again

My second sister had a teacher who used "Sue" as a nickname for a friend of hers with the same name as said sister
Said teacher didn't understand why my sister never responded to it until dad had to verbally bash into her head that hey just because her friend uses it as an acceptable nickname doesn't mean all who have the same name do

I don't think that all the kids should get punished either. Because if that happens what's the point of following the rules and being good if you're gonna get punished anyways?
At least that's how I would feel.

Is just the old divide-and-conquer strategy.
Many teachers do that. Unfortunately.

When I was a junior in high school, the seniors went to Grad Night at Disney World and some of them got caught drinking and such. So Disney banned my school from Grad Night the next year. So my class didn't get to go to Grad Night even though we hadn't done anything.

I've gotten quite a few lectures in school when just one person acted up... kinda sucked, but wasn't that bad. It wasted a bunch of class time though.
I did used to be punished occasionally when my brother did something and he claimed I influenced him. That was bs.

Well, if you don't teach kids young that authority figures are corrupt, and drive them into hating each other so they can never change the system, WHO ELSE IS GONNA DO IT??

I understand teachers' reasoning for punishing a group/classroom of students as a whole for the actions of a few, but it is usually never effective and it is ridiculous that innocents get punished for the actions of the guilty. On the one hand, teachers might think that punishing the group as a whole makes the innocents more likely to pressure the guilty parties to change their behavior. However, nobody can really force change in another individual, hence the ineffectiveness of this strategy. In the meantime, the punishment of innocent students is harmful to those students. I believe that in some cases this can lead innocent students to lash out and become the guilty party in the future, or becoming distrusting of the authority figures in their life. The potential for social and/or psychological harm that this method can have on innocent students, in my opinion outweighs any potential (and rare) benefit.
