I don't know if I specifically used the word lazy. I only remember telling her it's not acceptable to just do the easy work and give up when you're asked to think. That's essentially the same thing as saying she's lazy though.
I'm at a school that has lots of behavior issues. The school doesn't even care what is going on here so I'm wondering if they would even care what happened if I just left?
There is rough housing, fighting, etc. I sent a student to get someone in the office who said she'd come soon because she is busy. She never came. I called the 8th grade office who said they were sending someone that never showed up. I called the main office and asked for the resource officer. She said she'd send someone to the classroom and nobody came again.
The school just doesn't care so I think they wouldn't even care or know if I left. This school district pays the highest because subs never come back after a couple times.
Are you there right now? If so, unless you're on lunch or a break, don't go on message boards. 😀

And, just because the student is SPED, doesn't mean she didn't "get" the implication of laziness.
"Are you sure you're finished?"
"What didn't you understand?"
"Here, let me help you get started."
As it is, as a day to day sub you have zero credibility to question a student's work ethic. A professional helps the student starting at the kid's level.
Oh, by the way, your statement earlier about Black students and teachers is offensive and insulting. As well as probably not based in actuality.
Schools today don't put kids in SPED because of race. It's too expensive is one reason. There are several more.
Boys are in SPED at much greater rates than girls. Is that a conspiracy against boys?
There are times I'm glad this is over the ether and not in person. If it was, you would get a much....harsher is the word I'll use, wake up call from me.
A couple weeks ago I mentioned every time I go to a school with all white kids I seem th em doing creative thinking multimedia projects. When it's all black kids they are doing concrete fill in the blank sheets.
Someone said it's because they have too much going on in their lives that they aren't capable of complex thought. There you go. The reason most kids in special education are black is because teachers think black kids aren't capable of doing as well as white students

You don't know the square root of ****.
That also was not what was said, it was what you took out of it. If I remember, that was the thread where you thought it was disgraceful, or something, because 11th graders couldn't do Alg II. Then you went on some sort of tirade.
You would not accept what those of us, who collectively have hundreds of years in the classroom, told you about having to meet the kids where they are and not where they're supposed to be.
You want to see frustration? Give students an assignment for which they don't have the tools. That's what you would do, and did during student teaching.

You are a racist and I hope you are banned from here.
No I'm not racist. I'm talking about the racial bias teachers have with giving black students less challenging work. Read "Multiplication is for White People" by Lisa Delpit
