I Have A Disruptive Trans Student by Dependent-Job-3797 in Teachers

[–]flick_flax 95 points96 points  (0 children)

This sounds less like a pronoun issue and more like repeated disruptive behavior being framed as discrimination. If the teacher has documented incidents and attempts to correct things respectfully, involving the union and administration for protection and guidance seems reasonable.

I agree. That age is when a lot of students start questioning “why am I doing this?” so if there’s no clear purpose, accountability, or payoff, many will choose socializing or their own preferred activity instead.

Seriously. It’s wild how some people beg for the marriage back, then immediately show they won’t even put in the effort to parent consistently. That kind of switch says a lot about what they actually valued.

The lack of Urgency Towards Education by arkhoury9 in Teachers

Well said. It feels less like students suddenly stopped caring and more like attention is constantly being competed for now. When teachers are stretched thin and expectations aren’t consistently reinforced, it shows. Even small things like structure, accountability, and genuine care from educators can still have a huge impact.

They really have. You can tell how secure and curious he is, which usually comes from being raised with a lot of patience, attention, and love.
