And here I thought I hated children
However, after that teacher left she allegedly proceeded to organise students by race and gender, insult them using racial slurs and derogatory statements, and use explicit language — as well as playing loud rap music and bragging about being OK with going to jail.
A 16-year-old boy in the class told authorities that she also called one student ‘fat boy’ and told two white pupils that ‘they were the type to start school shootings’, Independent reports.
I know a lot of people are going to sound off about how they had it worse when they were a kid, but mental and verbal abuse is still abuse. It was never okay, not back then, and not now. This lady doesn’t even have the excuse of being old and worn out like many of the professionals in that field. She’s 23, doesn’t actually work in that field, just decided to show up and being abusive.
Not an excuse, but it’s likely due to bipolar disorder.
Jones is scheduled for a preliminary court hearing on October 20 and, according to the Independent, could face a maximum 21 years in prison if she is convicted.
If only she was a child molester, she’d be out already.
This sentence should not be possible under these circumstances, unreal
Uh, based?
Could potentially be, except racial slurs still bad.
One time in fourth grade, we had a new substitute that had a system for how mad she was. Lik, y’know. She came in as a teddy bear, she said. The more mad she got, she went up in bears. So over the course of the day, she gradually went up her scale because we were rowdy, I guess, however this went down, this was a million years ago, but she became a koala then brown then black. This spurred a discussion about how black bears are usually smaller and more docile, leading to a debate, which was a mistake, questioning this woman’s bear knowledge. Thus, she reached her grizzly state and slammed a textbook on the overhead projector, breaking it. We never had that substitute teacher again, but in fifth grade we got this regular sub that had alligators.
…at least she didn’t go full polar bear.
She really larped Roblox for the love of the game
This sounds exactly like episodes an old friend used to through before working out her bipolar meds.
I don’t think that’s significantly different from every fucking sub my kid has had in elementary school.
Mr. Blah said that if we didn’t stay absolutely quiet all day that instead of going to recess, he was going ot make us all do pushups.
They’re fucking first graders. go fuck yourself mr blah because empty threats aren’t going to mean shit to these kids.
one of the few subs I actually remember was a science-substitute (his specialty was biology), and he’d bring his snakes to class and let them wander about the class room and chill with the kids.
He actually cared about the kids he was teaching.
then there was the white South African sub that spent the entire class bitching about “discrimination” because she was denied scholarships for (black) South Africans affected by apartheid. she was just bitchy. (and credit to our history teachers, they found out about it and gave us an impromptu weeklong lesson on Apartheid.)
Do all white South Africans suck? I knew a guy who applied for scholarships for African Americans because he’s from Africa and he’s American, he was bitching about getting denied during the interview stage for obvious reasons. He knew that African American meant something specific that definitely excluded him, he’s just an asshole.
I haven’t met all white South Africans… but, there does seem to a pattern.
Edit to add: it might just be the ones fleeing from the consequences of Apartheid rather than all; and it’s not like I’ve personally met that many of them. (But we can lump musk and trump’s “refugees” into this pattern, too)
23? She’s a kid herself ffs!
Substitute teacher story: at my high school, a sub teacher called Mrs. West (who every student agreed was the Wicked Bitch of the West, absolute cunt of an old woman) got fired for telling a black student, “my grandparents owned your great grandparents.” I don’t remember if that kid was acting up or not, it was horrible, but we were glad to see her go.
Maybe at your current age but that’s pretty old from a 16yo kids perspective.
Some do it for the money, some do it for the love of the game.
We had a first grade teacher who grabbed a kid by the back of the hair and repeatedly slammed his head off the desk. Happened a few times. Tied another kid to his chair and didn’t let him go to lunch. She’d slam her apple pointer inches from your face, at least until she broke it one day.
But it was first grade. We knew it wasn’t right, but just not how wrong it was.
Why a POS like that ever wanted to teach kids is beyond me.
I ate in a certain teacher’s room during lunch in middle school. I was well liked by teachers because I enjoyed school and behaved well. My best friend was a trouble maker because of unmedicated ADHD.
One day he comes to the classroom during lunch to see me, and the teacher goes “Oh hell no” and drags him out of the room. Confused, I go out into the hallway and see him dragging my friend down the hallway by the ear, screaming “You’re useless, and you’ll never amount to anything! Everyone knows you are garbage! Just give up!”
It felt weird because they were so nice to me, and the unmitigated aggression seemed to come out of nowhere. I didn’t understand for years that some people are just broken inside. I did stop eating there.
Anyway my friend is a successful chemical engineer now.

five counts of exposing a child to harmful descriptions
Ffs! That’s a RIDICULOUS “offense” if I’ve ever seen one 🤦🏻
I’m not saying that I condone any of the racist parts, of course, but COME ON! Harmful fucking DESCRIPTIONS?!
She’s facing 21 years.
Donald Trump could have raped everyone in that room and got 21 years less than that.
You’ve clearly never had to console a child after they were called names that cut deep to their core.
I have, and not once have I thought anybody should be arrested for it.
An adult saying those things to a child is verbal abuse.
Children are not small adults with all the same processing abilities that we have.
Tell that to my ex wife fuck both our kids up by treating them as equals and not the children they were.
I would say it straight to her face because it’s the truth.
Jones, a former student at the school, is said to have scouted the premises for a week before carrying out the stunt, getting past security by blending in with other students.
She then accused of returning on a day when eight teachers were absent and ‘got lucky’ as only seven substitutes had signed in, before going to a classroom set up by another teacher, who stayed with her for 20 minutes.
However, after that teacher left she allegedly proceeded to organise students by race and gender, insult them using racial slurs and derogatory statements, and use explicit language — as well as playing loud rap music and bragging about being OK with going to jail.
A 16-year-old boy in the class told authorities that she also called one student ‘fat boy’ and told two white pupils that ‘they were the type to start school shootings’, Independent reports.
Meanwhile Fox6 News Milwaukee reported that Jones was said to have asked if any of the students had a vape or marijuana as the class ‘was so f****** lame and annoying’.
She was reportedly escorted from the school after students raised the alarm and principal Doreen Badillo became aware of what was going on.
So much security theater just to allow someone like this to waltz into a classroom to openly berate children.
Who tf has this kind of time on their hands for such petty bullshit?
Seems like the childfree communities are leaking…
Childfree communities hate parents. Children are just their poor choices manifest.
That’s very idealist of you, and that’s how it should be, but it’s not always that way
My partner has been in some child free communities and i saw a lot of people hating on kids. Most of the stories she’d relay were about kids being annoying with minimal mention of their parents.
My old boss was super into those groups and would post just vile, hateful stuff about kids.
I do think that child free groups are mostly about hating kids, in practice.
I wouldn’t have nearly as much disdain for those communities if they focused on bad parents instead of attacking children.
This is easily the third time today you’ve said something correct and insightful and been downvoted to hell.
The fuck is wrong with Lemmy?
So much security theater just to allow someone like this to waltz into a classroom to openly berate children.
I don’t see the “so much” security theater you’re referring to, and it seems like she got very lucky. She appeared young enough to blend in with the other students but also appeared old enough to be a substitute teacher and had attended the high school not that long ago (and conveniently lived right across the street).
During her scouting the week prior, she “heard other staff in the main office talking about the substitute teacher agency and told the secretary she was a substitute”, so she had that established ahead of time. On the day she went into the classroom, eight of the approximately 70 teachers were absent, and one of those positions happened to be unfilled by a sub (something she couldn’t possibly have foreseen).
Incidentally, unrelated to your comment, here’s the local news source instead of the trash tabloid Metro.
Do you know what schools have implemented in the effort to cut down on school shootings?
That’s the security theater I’m talking about. The security theater that should have caught this woman. If she had a gun, there would be a lot of dead students right now.
Schools are more secure than airports. It’s not just theatre.
She got away with a lot because people did recognize that she belonged there and she was unarmed. And she still got lucky.
If she had a gun, there would be a lot of dead students right now.
Milwaukee public schools use metal detectors.
This video specifically shows what Rufus King (this high school) does. You’re assuming her having a gun wouldn’t have changed this, but it would’ve. Because part of that “so much security theater” is scanning people who enter the school.
Do you know what schools have implemented in the effort to cut down on school shootings?
Yes, see the video above.
And per the school’s own admission, teachers recognized her as a former student and didn’t say anything at the time.
There’s also many ways around metal detectors, especially when the school shows that they don’t follow protocols anyway.
I mean a former student definitely can be a substitute teacher
And per the school’s own admission, teachers recognized her as a former student and didn’t say anything at the time.
If you’re drawing that from:
Since our first communication, our initial investigation determined that this individual involved was a former student recognized by staff. [emphasis mine] She was not a substitute teacher. We did involve our Milwaukee Police Department school resource officers (SROs) the day that this occurred. The district’s Title IX coordinator was also notified. In addition to any police actions resulting from this situation, the district is continuing with its own investigation.
It seems extremely clear that what the letter is saying isn’t that the staff saw her impersonating a substitute and looked the other way; it’s that once the students reported her, staff who worked there were able to identify her as a former student.
If this isn’t what you were talking about and I’m missing something, I apologize.

I don’t support anyone doing anything like this, it’s pathetic and unhinged, not to mention just fucking weird.
That being said, I get it.
You get being a racist cunt to kids? Jesus fuck seek help dude.
I don’t get it. If you’re that annoyed by kids then why would you intentionally put yourself in a room with a bunch of them? I don’t like loud kids either but that’s exactly why I’m not a teacher or pretending to be one.
Somebody has to tell the little fuckers what’s what.
I would totally pretend to be a substitute teacher. I would teach the kids all the shit they aren’t learning like trade unionism, actual socialism, everything that Republicans in America and conservatives in Canada don’t want people to be learning but aren’t I would try to interest the kids in.
