Since you called me out, Ill give the the time to answer you, even though you have gone out of your way to support someone who
obviously didn't want to
discuss this in person. If you, as an educator (if you are), seriously believe that, then you need to step back and re-evaluate your understanding of your students. You put yourself (and your fellow educators and students) at risk if you approach a comment like this as anything other than a threat. And I dont want you being responsible for my children if you are not able to recognize that fact.

Let me say that public eye seems to always be on educators..pointing out their faults..If you or anyone else on this forum feels that they are more qualified to educate children, let me challenge you to step up to the plate.
I think, not too many posts ago, I defended teachers in general, I think you need to go back and reread the entire thread (or actually read it all the way through before commenting)

As an educator, if I can have a lasting effect on just one soul, all the hard work has paid off. If you spent more time plucking the faults from your own eye..and not picking out a student for defending someone who has obviously been an example to him..your world might be a better place. You also must not be very familiar with texting, facebooking or any other networking that kids take part in these days..they do not spell ..they type symbols and portions of words to make their point.
OK, now that I read this a little more, I completely understand that
you have no idea what you are talking about. I never mentioned anything anywhere about his spelling, grammer, punctuation, etc etc. My only comment was that I put no stock in someone who resorts to childish threats.

How could anyone call out a kid to make fun of them? Boy..guess your name on here explains why! I happen to know that kid..and he was a man..he used his REAL name..and cowardly you did not.
Maybe, if you are so close to this person, you should sit down and discuss with him exactly how adults handle situations like this.
Violence is not the answer. And he clearly made a threat. Teach him to act like an adult. And also, while you are teaching him how to act like an adult, teach him how to protect himself and his identity. If he used his real name, that was his mistake. Most normal folks know how to protect themselves online, particularly from someone like dgreen. If he even remotely thought about backing up his
threats , I wouldnt want him to know who I really was or where my family lived.
There are numerous forum members I have met personally and who know me by my real name Just because I dont give away my identity to every idiot on here does not mean Im anonymous.
Btw, is your first name or last name educator? Just curious. quote:
He was not ashamed to stand up for what he believes in. Just because he wanted to discuss this in person..what makes you think that means fight? HMMM that must be your way of thinking and not dgreens.
Let me see, why would anyone want to discuss something in person that is clearly being discussed here (specifically with those that dont agree with him)? Get real, no one buys your 'he just wanted to talk' reasoning....
