A teacher called a student a "loser" twice and once took 20% off an assignment for "being a loser." As a professional, as a teacher, as a human being there is no way anyone in his position should see this as funny. He said it was a joke. Not funny.

A school that supports teaching through humiliation should not be accepted by anyone! Calling children names is not an effective way to communicate with them and encourages disrespect.

I am amazed that Rex Rolan is allowed to teach. No teacher should ever refer to a child as a loser. They need positive reinforcement.
