Today a story in the news has finally got me to blow my top! And if you are wondering why I homeschool my kids, this is just one of a many reasons. The public school system, has many great teachers, including my parents and brother. but the administrators have gone off the deep end.
A six year old girl was suspended Thursday for hugging a friend who was crying and the school suspended her for a public display of affection. Last year, a student was suspended for bringing a gun to school. What violent gun was this? It was the plastic laser gun connected to his Luke Skywalker action figure. Another student was suspended for accidentally bringing aspirin to school that she didn't take the day before when she had a headache.
So this goes out to the zero tolerance morons in the public school systems. I'm sorry you were ugly and didn't get a date in high school and have to punish the pretty people who want to be hugged by their friends when they are sad. I'm sorry your parents wouldn't buy you the cool toys and bought you silly putty instead of the GI Joe you wanted. I'm sorry that your parents couldn't afford aspirin that would have been nice when you had a headache as a child, but DAMN IT, cut this out.
It is stupid and makes you look like a complete idiot in the public's eye. You want to know why your bond measures for school funds don't pass? I'll tell you! The public doesn't like to see you waste tax payer's money on lawyers to defend yourself against your stupidity. The tax payers want to see the money get to the classroom where a teacher that has taught for the past 25 years knows a hell of a lot more about teaching than someone who has never been in front of a student and is more worried about public opinion than a child's education.
So get some common sense, move out of your mom's basement, and get a life! Bring common sense back to education and I promise our education system and our future leaders will be a lot better off for it! If a kid hits another student, suspend them don't have a mediation. If a kid brings a toy gun to school, have the teacher take it away and put it in their bottom drawer of their desk until the end of the day, like they used to.
Sorry for the rant people, but I am just so sick and tired of this and it just has to stop! We have to take control back! Just because 1 person doesn't like something, it doesn't mean that we keep the other 999 from doing it! I don't like tomatoes, but you don't see me trying to get Burger King to ban tomatoes from their restaurants.
OK, I think I'm done!
