When the schools are actually in, which is around 4 weeks a year, do they actually still teach kids or just nit pick stupid things like this

How are they meant to learn the values of everyone being an individual?

American schools have some wonderful classes. I got to look at a friend's grandson's lesson eight and the choices were money management, girl power, animal husbandry and environmentalism.
It's great. I LOVE being a teacher!
Yes they do. The headteacher makes the rules.
Bet you do.
Yes, teachers do teach. Quite a lot.
The case in question is confusing: the boy in question cannot shave because of a skin condition, yet he appears to have shaved his beard area quite effectively. There is also the option of other hair-removal methods, which can help in situations like this.
I don't think that it was an exclusion-rating offence, but we don't know what else went on.
He seemed excessively hairy at 13. At that age I couldn't grow anything that mature.
If you think its all about the holidays then there is nothing stopping you from becoming a teacher and see what its all about. Low pay and can be very stressful to start with...fellow teachers back me up here as you're all on easter break at the moment :-)
No - just enjoy your holiday! It's really not worth it. You'll never change anyone's mind.
Low pay? Don't they get well over 25 grand? That's not low!
That's right you won't.
No and what does that equate to compared to a typical 9-5 job and thats not including the holidays and never mind the morning and afternoon breaks. How many actual hours a day do teachers spend in class teaching?
About five and a half I reckon. For the sake of arguments let's not count breaks as they may be on playground duty.
This from the person who's unemployed and spends all their time posting on DS.
That's irrelevant to the subject being discussed and hence OFF-TOPIC.
Therefore, by your own standards Crazychris, you have nothing further to add to the discussion, do you.
If you think being a teacher is a doddle and easy money, you're not crazy, but there is another word for it.
Actually it's quite on topic as it makes your points moot.
But I think alot of people gloss over any points you make usually anyhow.
Don´t forget to add in the time assigned to lesson planning, homework marking, exam prep, detention duty, report writing, pastoral care, meetings, Health and safety, organization of extra curricular activities, extra tutorials, lesson preparations etc and teachers do a hell of a lot more work than you dream of doing
My mothers a teacher so I can state first hand how many hour she works during term time and how many hours she puts in during the holidays. You're talking rubbish.
I wouldn't do it.
