Wow, I'm more concerned that students are allowed to just talk freely in school. When I was in high school you didn't talk unless you raised your hand. When you debated you did so in an orderly fashion. If this is how high school classes are ran now days, then it is no wonder our education system is failing. These kids are referring to each other as "Dawgs" and all sorts of other conversations are going on in the class. When the teacher raises her voice the kids raise their voice right back. This is a recipe for disaster.
The conversation might have been an off the record conversation where they were discussing current politics. But I am amazed this is the level of intelligence displayed by both high school students, and teachers. I suppose this is why teachers now blame the parents for the kids problems. Simply because they can't teach either, so they point the finger at the students parents.

This was linked on drudge when I found it but since then it has gone more mainstream. Im actually impressed that it did.
Also, I agree that this teacher has no control over her classroom but it isnt totally the kids fault, shes a poor teacher and they dont respect her.
