At Wednesday night’s meeting of the Lafayette Parish School Board a student teacher used the public comment period to share his concerns over what he sees as a serious lack of discipline in the parishes public schools.
Thursday morning those comments got him fired.
Eyewitness News sat down with Derrick Comeaux to talk about what he said Wednesday night and why he and others think it shouldn’t have cost him his job.
When Derrick Comeaux addressed the Lafayette Parish School Board Wednesday night he says he wanted the board and the general public to know what conditions inside many of the parishes public schools are really like.
“It’s not just a few instances, it’s multiple instances, it’s an everyday occurrence and until somebody finally says we have to do something with these students who threaten teachers, who cuss teachers, who bully students, then our schools will never become anything but failing schools.”
Comeaux, who’s a senior at UL Lafayette in Social Studies Education, was required to spend hundreds of hours observing classrooms all over Lafayette Parish. Since January 15th he’s spent hundreds more working as an actual student teacher in charge of a classroom.
Unfortunately Comeaux says he’s found teaching frequently takes a back seat to struggling to maintain control of unruly students who are constantly causing problems and being written up, they’re called referrals.
