subject: Re: Discipline

Let's drop this go-nowhere thread and discuss REAL issues.  If we don't 
stop, Matt will just keep going and going.  Besides, his response is 
practically a carbon copy of what he said to me on the subject weeks 
ago.
LETS END IT..
MS>RM> MS>Excessive drinking is just one of many reasons why college 
MS>RM> MS>profs face at least as serious discipline problems as their 
MS>RM> MS>K-12 counterparts...
MS>RM>  
MS>RM> RM> This statement is just silly... A "discipline problem" is
MS>RM> RM> something along the lines of disrupting class, physical
MS>RM> RM> violence, profanity, etc... 
MS>RM> Sophistry...  Stuff that is lumped as "disciplinary" by
MS>RM> administration does not always constitute "disciplinary
MS>RM> problems" for a teacher.  Tardiness is a disciplinary
MS>RM> problem for a teacher, but cutting or absenteeism is a 
MS>RM> disciplinary problem for administrators...
MS> 
MS>    Even if you want to say _profs_ don't face the discipline
MS>problems on  college campuses that excessive drinking and excessive
MS>drug use causes,  somebody sure faces them.  Talk to any
MS>campus-police officer about it, and  ask him what percentage of
MS>vandalism, date rape, rape, and assault by  students that he deals
MS>with involve intoxication!
