So let's talk about _____ .
     This teacher at an all-boys Catholic school “catfished” some of his students. For nudes of course.

I am the first one to raise a hand and say “I LOVE real-life Catfish stories” especially since I was a pretty accomplished catfisher myself back in the AOL Chatroom days.  

But this is gross.

An Orange County male teacher is accused of allegedly posing as a girl on Facebook and getting young boys into online relationships.

Officials say 30-year-old Zachary Reeder pretended to be a young girl and then convinced young men to send him sexually explicit photos of themselves.

Catholics, man!  Y’all just can’t get right, ever!

     Let’s play Are You Smarter Than a Christian!

(You’ll probably win against this one…)

This is always a fun game.  Let’s start with a definition:

a·non·y·mous   [uh-non-uh-muhs]  adjective

  1. without any name acknowledged, as that of author, contributor, or the like: an anonymous letter to the editor; an anonymous donation.
  2. of unknown name; whose name is withheld: an anonymous author.
  3. lacking individuality, unique character, or distinction: an endless row of drab, anonymous houses.

Say you’re an overly zealous teacher full of God’s Grace, working in a public high school.  You find out some students want to form an atheist group at your high school and clearly you can’t let that happen.  

You put the kibbosh on that.  

But what good is ending it if no one knows about what you did?  So, you write an anonymous letter to the atheist author of the student’s devil-worshiping material bragging about how you single-handedly stamped out atheism at your school.  Except…you forgot what anonymous means.  You idiot.

     Special needs teachers in New Jersey bully autistic child.

Tell me that thing again where tenure in the public schools doesn’t lead to bad teachers.  I’m very much anti-tenure, but on a list of things wrong with our educational system, I never really put it near the top.  This video just boiled me to the core though.

A 10 year old boy with autism had been exhibiting behavior problems including violence toward his teachers.  The school called a meeting to discuss what should be done about it.  The father couldn’t figure out why his sweet-natured little boy would suddenly start lashing out at school, so he sent his son to school wearing a wire.

On the tape you hear the teachers and aides discuss being drunk (possibly at work), bullying the boy verbally, and calling him a bastard.  In the middle of class. It’s on tape.  And, thanks to tenure I’m sure, they’re all (except one) still working for the school district, collecting paychecks and teaching students.

Listen to this.

     Bloomberg wants to fire half of NYC’s teachers.

And nobody is happy about it.

“Professor” Michael Bloomberg said Thursday he would accomplish more with less by slashing the teaching staff in half — and that’s just the beginning, reports CBS 2’s Marcia Kramer.

He looked like he was from another planet when he dressed as a hippie for a political show, but the mayor’s blueprint for fixing city schools have some asking “what was he smoking?”

“Education is very much, I’ve always thought, just like the real estate business. Real estate business, there are three things that matter: location, location, location is the old joke,” Bloomberg said. “Well in education, it is: quality of teacher, quality of teacher, quality of teacher. And I would, if I had the ability - which nobody does really – to just design a system and say, ‘ex cathedra, this is what we’re going to do,’ you would cut the number of teachers in half, but you would double the compensation of them and you would weed out all the bad ones and just have good teachers. And double the class size with a better teacher is a good deal for the students.” (cont.)

Right from jump, two serious issues come up with Bloomberg trying to fix education.  A) One of the reasons all the kids these days are dumb and the educational system is so fucked is because too many people are treating it like a business and not thinking about what’s best for the kids.  So, comparing education to real estate is Not A Good Look, sir.  B) Remember how Bloomberg, who knows nothing about education, appointed Cathie Black, a magazine editor who also knows nothing about education, as chancellor of NYC schools for about 5 minutes?  But then she stepped down because…she knows nothing about education?  Clearly, this is a Cathie Black moment.

But hold on now.  Is firing half the teachers really a bad idea?

     Someone made fun of something I said.

I don’t remember what it was, but apparently, I said it funny.  I grew up in South Carolina.  Be grateful I don’t say everything funny.  One of my science teachers in junior high used to say col-yums (columns), d-rowwws (rows), and immetriately (immediately).  That is the foundation upon which my education is founded, ok?

Leave me alone.

     Teacher bullies student. Caught on camera.

Wow New Jersey…this is not a good look *at all* ok?

A New Jersey teacher caught belittling a special-needs student on tape, now faces disciplinary action, the school district superintendent told ABCNews.com today.

On the tape, teacher Steven Roth can be heard calling 15-year-old student Julio Artuz a “tard” and saying “I will kick your a** from here to kingdom come.”

Julio filmed the incident on his cell phone during class. After an executive session held Wednesday, “the Board of Education voted to enact disciplinary action against the teacher,” Gloucester County Special Services District Superintendent Michael Dicken said.

Roth, who was identified by Artuz’s family, is currently on paid administrative leave from Bankbridge Regional School in Gloucester County, N.J. (cont.)

First of all, a grown-ass man bucking up to a 15 year old is already sad.  And he’s the kid’s teacher.  And the kid is in the challenged class.  Dude, you look SO SMALL right now.  Are you kidding me?  Who does that!  I pick on everybody almost universally.  You fat?  I got something for that.  Ghetto?  I gotchu.  Gay?  Oh I’m right on top of that.  But who picks on the little special needs boy?!  I can’t even…

This teacher has the smallest balls I have ever notseen.  I already know it.  No dude with adult-sized manjunk would pick on a little kid and get in his face.  Like, on the drive home in his ENORMOUS TRUCK—because you know it’s enormous—he’s listening to 3 Doors Down with a smug face on some “yea…I totally showed that slow kid.”  

You can watch the video after the jump, but it might make you want to drive to New Jersey and kick some ass.

     Teachers’ hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work 9 or 10 months a year!

It’s time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they do - BABYSIT!  We can get that for minimum wage.  That’s right.  Let’s give them $3.00 an hour and only the hours they worked;
