So, let me get this straight. Parents are upset not over the physical violence their little darlings are inflicting, but rather over the language used to describe it? In this f’d up country, I guess that shouldn’t surprise me.
Letter from teachers causes a shock
The word is out at the Middle School – students are sick of so-called boy-on-boy sexual harassment that sometimes masquerades as camaraderie and other times is just plain painful, students said yesterday.
However, there are some parents and School Committee members who were not happy with how the word got out. […]
The one-page letter from the teachers was accompanied by a one-page list of behavioral issues among students on the team. The list was compiled by students and was in their language.
Eighth-grader Kayla Manton said her father was not happy with the letter.
“He didn’t think it was a good idea to write it, because it was vulgar,” she said.
Then she explained to her friends the meaning of the word vulgar.
And these are the idiots who snap back bitchin’ “Who the hell are you to tell me how to raise my kids.”
This is the cause for children to gun down their classmates at school and these deadbeat parents end up asking “why?”
So, stupid kids at school have stupid parents at home. Hmm, see a pattern, perhaps?
I would like to see the letter, but it doesn’t sound vulgar. Perhaps the “Ball Tapping”, when I was a kid, it wasn’t ball tapping, it was “racking”, which sounds like tapping might not hurt so bad– I never liked being racked one bit!
And they call it nipple twisting, or did they clean that up. Back in the day, we didn’t use the language that kids use now, but we said “tittie twister”. I never bled from it, but it does hurt.
Did the letter also address the application of Indian Burns or Charlie Horses? How would you even PC-up the term Indian Burn so you could send that in a letter?
I think the most serious thing was the board which now has to approve teacher to parent communication. Uhhhh! I am going to start money now to send my girl to a private school, I want the open and frank communication quickly from the teacher of any concerns. I don’t need any filtering.
I think a lot of parents are in denial that their children might be participants in such behavior. So of course, since this letter doesn’t apply to them, they are upset. They they will question why little Billy had their little Jonney (or Hunter, or Chip, or Junior) in his gun sights.
And she had to explain the meaning of the word vulger? loved to have heard that.
