Dolores Cacuango, also known as Mamá Doloreyuk, was a leader in the fight for indigenous rights in Ecuador born on this day in 1881. She was active in the Glorious May Revolution of 1944 and co-founded the Indigenous Federation of Ecuador (FEI).
Cacuango was born to enslaved people in San Pablourco who worked the Pesillo Hacienda near Cayambe without being paid. She had no access to education due to her lack of resources, and learned Spanish while working as a housemaid.
In 1930, Cacuango was among the leaders of the historic workers' strike at the Pesillo hacienda in Cayambe, which was a milestone for indigenous and peasant rights. During the Glorious May Revolution in Ecuador, Cacuango personally led an assault on a government military base.
The same year, with the help of Ecuador's Communist Party, Cacuango co-founded the Indigenous Federation of Ecuador (FEI), an early group in the fight for indigenous rights. She also helped establish some of the first bilingual indigenous schools.

For real what you need to do is show them love because they are children. Any positive relationship with an adult can set a child or teenager on a more positive path. I know your post was made as a joke, but please do not dehumanize these children or else you are correct, they will end up in prison.
'because they are children' lol teachers need wayyyy more authority in the classroom because some kids need to be set straight. The other ones are fine. Im just talking about kids like the one i had that wanted to cut people with an exacto knife, dumbass white kid who calls everyone the N word, and other such feral ones. Im talking about the real shitty kids, and feeling sorry for the teachers who have to deal with them. I ain't talking about the autistic kids or adhd kids, they're very easy to manage if you just let them play outside or send them to sit outside without scarring their pride.
Some kids are dicks, and teachers should be allowed to punish such children
yes i did joke mostly but seriously some kids best path to being non-feral is actively showing them that their actions have consequences, since the ones im mad at are the spoiled brats not the ones with just an obsession with picking flower petals (they're my favorite one wanted to do a shout-out)
Frankly there is too much there for me to respond to but I think you need to re-examine your world view.
I am not saying there should be no punishments for children, especially in extreme cases. But if you have worked with children (and yes a 13 year old is a child when compared to an adult with power over them) then you must have witnessed how very little control children have of their world. And because they are human beings (who are also not fully developed) these influences outside of their control impact their behavior. You are advocating for physical punishment for behavior that's root cause is fully out of the child's control.
What sort of world do you imagine as the best possible if this is your solution to children who clearly need our help?
I understand the extreme level of frustration that goes along with working with children and have witnessed abhorrent behavior similar to what you describe. The only thing that ever worked was building trust and a relationship. A switch will not do that.
If you are trolling, whatever come up with better material. If you are serious, you need to examine your understanding of humanity
not exactly, just that there needs to be better punishments for these kids. As a ML I advocate for some sort of community work, light stuff like... huh i need some ideas for that one
Development would be helped by curbing spoiled tendencies.
the best solution in a good world is the re-education of their parents. Children aren't reactionary out of nowhere. Screen time reduction, followed by an increase of public play places.
Another problem is that teachers need a hell of a lot more control of their own classroom. Administration is a fucking horrendous mess.
that was the joking part, I was mostly frustrated. I mean past education does show that physical punishment is counter-productive.
but establishing bonds of trust? Im not going to be making teachers create bonds with a few dozen high wired children a year just to send them on their way and repeat. Teachers get too much shit. Its a naive worldview to think this would become some sort of standard procedure until 50 or 60 years at least if an extreme amount of effort was put into it, in order to give teachers social worker training and bump up the credentials alongside it.
Kids need help, but they need boundaries set on their behavior, although navigating that so that they don't just become even worse is as hard as it is annoying.
