El Monte Teacher Accused Of Tying Third Graders To Their Chairs

Two steps forward... Ten steps back.

They put the wrong kids on pills to be still feining for refills.
Principals with no principle, priorities political.
Pedagogical planning is pitiful.
Low on tolerance high on ridicule.
Even the infirmary is inhospitable.
Assembly required.
Metal detectors seeming unjust but inspired by shots fired.
Turn black zero tolerance on and lock down.
Aging out, if you ask me does not sound like education.
But I suppose that's the cause and affect when the city spends more on incarceration.

How did this guy think it was ok to tie up these kids? Read below.

El Monte Teacher Accused Of Tying Third Graders To Their Chairs

POSTED: 10:37 am PST December 9, 2005

EL MONTE, Calif. -- An investigation is under way into whether an elementary school teacher in El Monte tied three third graders to their chairs for being disorderly in a classroom, authorities said.

The teacher at Maxson Elementary School is suspected of using computer cords to tie the children -- two boys and a girl -- to their chairs for about five minutes on Tuesday, said El Monte police Detective Eric Youngquist.

The teacher, whose name was not released, reportedly wanted to stop them from walking around in the classroom.

The teacher was not arrested, but was placed on paid administrative leave.

Authorities were trying to get a statement from the teacher, who is being represented by an attorney, Youngquist said.

When the investigation is completed, a decision will be made on possible prosecution, Youngquist said.

Alan Morier of the Mountain View School District told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune that the students are still in school but the teacher has been taken out of the classroom "so if it is true we don't want to make it uncomfortable for anyone."

Morier declined to comment on the details of the incident.

To all those heads that say "kids need some discipline", no doubt. But not by a teacher, not at school, not in a way that will scare them emotionally and not with computer cords. The parents discipline. Not a teacher, not a 3rd grade teacher. Now these 8 year olds understand and have it in their minds that discipline is taking computer cords or any type of cord and inflicting pain on another person forcing them do do as they are told with no other option. Wait until they get older. I hope they can surpass this, but imagine if this type of pattern continued, not only with the student but the rest of their "authority figures"? Their future teachers have it harder now, communication with the law, etc. Discipline is to be decided by the parents or family.

This whole time, we have been fighting so that teachers can have more pay and more benefits for doing what they do. We try to see their side of the financial situation and why we are losing teachers. No doubt it is hard to teach, even harder with language barriers, but you do not resort to using computer cords on a child who is not listening. There are so many other options for teachers. Why? If this case is true, why did he take it upon his hands to have people have a negative idea of the education system again when we were just fighting to improve it? I say, if he did it, fire the jerk and send him to iraq. Let some adult terrorists treat him the way he treated those children. Or put his ass in jail, I am sure someone can help him up with the torture thing.

I have a few friends that are teachers. Where you at? How does this make you feel? Trish, Big E, Stevo! You guys are what keeps hope alive! This type of treatment shouldn't be tolerated. How would we feel if we heard our kids or friends kids were tied up by their teachers?

Spread the word. This kat should be locked up... if he did it!

Here are some lyrics from an underground mc by the name of J-LIVE. He spits some real shit, experience is the best teacher... in fact, he is a teacher. This type of treatment from teachers only proves his point in this song. You should go get this album!

One class, 31 one students, 32 chairs, 25 desks... I guess they gotta share.
19 text books and most are missing pages.
Junior High, 3 grades for 6 different ages.
Teachers and Janitors double as Deans.
Deans double as security guards and crime scene investigators.
Older teachers need respirators
The elevators, the bad odors from the back stairs are made of.
Gutted Garcia Vegas, Used condoms and puddles of piss.
Try not to slip during the fire drill.
Every now and then a scandal might reach the paper.
For every story, theirs 30 in the category.
Hard work and progress on display in the hall ways.
Demoralized and vandalized every day.
Lessons cut short to prep a test that only test how well you prep, man no wonder why the scores are messy.
Knuckle heads begging for detention or suspension.
Truth be told, they really only crave attention.
Some kids showing up unprepared and dirty, cause their parents gotta punch in by 7:30.
Shit, some other's parent's 7:30.
They put the wrong kids on pills to be still feining for refills.

Roam the halls with me.
So many characters.
Some sweet, some shifty, some bad, some quite, some trust and some don't by it... don't try it. Some will try to squash beef and some start riots.
Some are motivated.
Some are lazy.
Some are genius and some are crazy
The line between is hazy.
Some 'll love you some will hate, some will need you, some will spite you, some are thankful, some are ungrateful.
Some of them don't really care about what's being learned and taught. They fought through it then they got stuck.

Some are there until the bell rings, run through the day without thinking cause they really don't give a fuck!
Some will run, some will fight, some will tell, some might change the world, some are early to the grave or jail, some are so complicated some are so simple.
Some are students some are teachers some are principals.

Listen, the littlest thugs walk like they are invincible.
Comical, just look at little Dexter.
He's got the type of Napoleon complex to skip in front of Devon twice his size just to get him vexed but...
Devons a gentle giant. 13, 5 foot 11.
His mom's a nurse and his dad's a reverend.
Every now and then he gets irreverent....

We need to take care of our kids!
