Teacher Writes The Worst Insult On Boy’s Homework, Has No Idea Who Dad Is

teacher writes the worst insult on boy's homework has no idea who dad is [Music] [Applause] a crushed boy walked with his head bound towards his house from a school he didn't want his parents to see the tears in his eyes but they could see that the seven-year-old had been crying and pleaded with him to tell them what had happened the child reluctantly got a piece of paper out from his school bag he handed it to his parents and it would hold all the answers they were looking for camden pylon was always just a normal kid he never strived to get amazing grades but he would stay out of trouble nonetheless he wasn't hyperactive and he didn't spend all his time watching tv and playing video games his parents were caught off guard when he came home devastated they read the note he had given them and his father stirred with a frown as he kept reading the test paper his face became more flush with anger camden was a student at valley view elementary school for a number of years there had never been any issues with him at the school but everything changed when he walked into the school as a second grader now his parents were getting more and more complaints about their son's behavior chris decided he had heard enough and decided to look into his son's complaints there aren't any elementary school children who like doing their homework especially when they could be seeing friends or playing games once the bell to indicate the end of the school day rings camden was no exception and his parents understood it was part of being a kid but camden started handing in his assignments late this drastic change in behavior only started in the second grade his parents hated seeing their child struggle so suddenly with his academics what changed camden's attitude towards a school chris was sure that his child could take on the second grade in all its challenges and the fact that he wasn't made him start to worry it wasn't normal for camden's performance to plummet so drastically in his academic life his teacher was alyssa ruff boaneck and one day he arrived home with some feedback from her that's when chris thought that she might have a part to play in camden's newfound difficulties the father's intuition would prove useful everyone's had that teacher that seems impossible to impress some kids keep their heads down and somehow slip through and some stick out especially if they're kinder and indecisive this is the teacher that alyssa was at the school alyssa had already gained a reputation and seemingly picked on camden before anyone else the boy's joey started to wane as the constant criticism impacted his self-esteem he didn't ever let anyone know that it had such an impact all parents dream of their children doing well at school but when they catch win that their child is the opposite and only in the second grade is hard for them to swallow parents can get involved to help their child like after school tutoring and having a more watchful eye on their child when it's homework time but one thing stands out as outdated and it never works tough love it's not just children that hate pointless negative feedback everyone would prefer a more constructive approach to criticism so they understand how they can improve and not repeat the mistake confidence and self-esteem are the most affected when someone is given criticism now imagine a teacher giving such negative feedback to a child who's trying his best being a teacher for young children versus older children have completely different approaches you need to be more involved in the younger child's education when you teach them to help them understand the concepts being a good mentor reflects on the children as well since you're a role model chris felt like alyssa wasn't practicing this way of teaching when she was in the classroom with his child how could she think her comments were actually helping chris can't be blamed for his anger and frustration towards the teacher the comments on his child's paper were just discouraging they didn't only affect his confidence but they were also unprofessional and no parents wants to see their child hurt the comment on the math test was absolutely pathetic he answered 13 in three minutes sad now this made chris angry it was bullying and there was nothing constructive about these comments not even in the slightest the problem was that this comment wasn't the first that this teacher had left camden and it was the straw that broke the camel's back for chris it was the last straw and he intended to do something about it he took insult from how the messages were right from the beginning of the year it was time to confront the nasty teacher it's the go-to action that a lot of people take posting a worry or thought on social media a lot of the time it's because we can get so close to the issues that we can't see them clearly anymore chris wanted an opinion on this situation what he wasn't expecting was to have such a large impact chris began by just stating the facts along with a picture of his son holding up the offending test paper he was sure that everyone would agree with him chris was absolutely amazed at how the post took a life on its own racking up thousands of reactions commented chairs it seemed that a lot of people felt really passionately about what happens in the classroom how children should be treated and what skills a teacher should have he felt significantly better that his gut instinct was right and that he hadn't been overreacting at all almost everyone disapproved of the harsh words that the teacher left on the piece of paper now teaching is not known for being an easy job it's far more challenging than standing in front of a class and talking every child learns differently and it's the responsibility of the teacher to find out how each child learns so that they can succeed in school and later on in life too leaving harsh comments seem to chris like this teacher wasn't teaching his son how to learn she was taking the easy way out and putting the blame on his son no one likes to work in a negative environment take yourself for instance if your boss was constantly on your case no matter how hard you worked you'd be very soon losing your passion for your job and quitting but camden still had so many fundamental things to learn new abilities skills and tasks to take with him in the future quitting wasn't an option this teacher had to understand that learning is most effective when it's carried out in a creative yet inspiring way chris was glad that he was getting so much validation from his little facebook post but then things took a turn for the worst he couldn't believe it but all the strangers that had rallied behind him and started a kind of movement of their own someone had even taken it so far that there is now a petition online calling for the sacking of boanek it was great that people felt so strongly and chris was sure this was something that he wanted to go ahead with the situation became serious now miss bowenek could lose her job because of a mean comment she needed to protect herself against the angry group of people on social media that kept on growing chris was still so angry over the whole incident that he did want her to get fired after all getting a new teacher for his son seemed like a great idea amazingly the petition was tallying up an unusually high number of signatures already over ten thousand people wanted the teacher sacked with very little information of her side of the story but teachers at her school took a stand on ms bowenek's behalf saying she didn't deserve to be fired at all even though little camden went on to say she made me really sad and upset i was really mad and it was really mean to do you don't write that on anybody's paper let alone a little seven-year-old second grader's paper it said on the top of it that he answered only 13 of them in three minutes and that it was absolutely pathetic with a sad face it broke my heart chris said as he spoke to more and more papers and tv stations he was still absolutely furious about the whole ordeal i believe what you wrote on his paper was extremely unprofessional and just very rude and she messaged me back and said she was sorry i felt that way he said everyone agreed that the teacher had indeed done something wrong but should she be fired for it it seemed a very harsh punishment for something that a firm talking to could change the school felt like she only had to be reprimanded for what she did they thought that it was too much to fire her for this teachers parents and other adults are those who mold these little kids into what they're gonna be in the future the school decided to look further into the matter and make sure justice was served chris posted an update and said thanks to all the efforts and support of the dedicated people who signed and shared this petition i'm happy to announce that the teacher in question is currently being investigated by the valley view school board according to a news outlet school superintendent rose minnitti has become aware of the remarks written on the assignment after having a meeting with the valley view school district and the teacher an investigation had begun as a response to the media minute he said as always with everything we're going to try to do what's best for the students and what we need to do for the employee under investigation speaking to the same news outlet she said it's a personnel issue and the results of that are not going to be dictated by social media it's going to be dictated by the facts and evidence
