I am a working mother by necessity not choice, but believe me, if I got a call like that I would have raced to the school immediately. I have always made it clear that my child comes first, and my employers are very understanding and supportive of family issues, as they have them too. The mother of this child needs to re-evaluate her priorities, among other things.
Sent these Floridiots up to some socialist cesspool. They'll fit right in.
It was!
You are so wrong about Tiger Woods.
But you would never know that from the way that the MSM has contextualized this story... you would think it was just the abuse of a helpless babe by the fuzz.
Apologies. I knew that. I was being lazy not going back to the original quote.
My guess is that the girl treats the Mom the same way.
Where is the Dad? Don't hear anything from him.
I'm sure you know the stats...doubtful he's in the picture.
I agree. So how do we go about fixing the problem? Where do we start?
*sigh* If I had a nickle for every time the race card was played, I'd be richer than Bill Gates.
And what kind of a name is "Ja'eisha"??
Probably the root of the problem. No Dad.
I bet this girl will be a lot of fun when she is older.
Unfortunately, it wasn't just the MSM. FOX did the same thing yesterday beginning with FOX & Friends. I wasn't around to watch in the evening, so I don't know how it was handled by FOX during the evening. But I was livid during the morning and afternoon FOX shows when everyone was ready to verbally beat up the cops. The FOX women were more than ready to jump on the "for the children" bandwagon.
I see your point.
This is awful, but true; my husband is a lawyer and knows of several private law firms whose hiring managers throw out resumes with names like Ja'eisha on them just on principle. It's a horrible thing, but with jobs so scarce and the applicant pool so large in this area, its an employers market. And not always a fair and balanced one.
I overheard a conversation once that really made an impression on me. Two young black women were sitting near me in a restaurant/pub and Tiger Woods picture came on the television. For more than 15 minutes they carried on saying things like "I hate him" "I can't stand to look at him" "He is so disgusting", etc. They never said why, only that he was a horrible person. It was puzzling because these young women were otherwise very articulate. They were students at an un-named law school in Massachusetts (one that considers itself the best law school in the world) and obviously had to be very smart and accomplished to go there.
I think a good fix would be to send the parents bills for the cost of time wasted by students is managing these little horrors.
It's really up to the community at large to fix these problems, the local school district and parents (i.e. tax payers) to involve themselves in writing the rules and helping lay out rules that the school board should follow.
Having said that -- and trying to be EXTREMELY pragmatic about this; the child should get no more than two bites from the apple, if they can't behave properly in the classroom they should be *completely* removed from it until they can. That means they simply can't attend school and disrupt the learning for the children that behave properly. That also means mom will have to find a way to stay home with her etc. I'm sick of the world revolving around the problem child -- starting schools for troubled kids, all that nonsense. If your child can't conform, tough s---. Be a parent and make them conform or they don't get an education. That's where I would start.
Flame away.
That would be another thing to do, yes.
It takes a village. :)
The only reason why they hate him is because he wouldn't exclusively identify as black and kiss Jesse Jackson's behind. plus it doesn't help that he married a white woman. Believe me I've heard it all but it's really sad. You have to feel sorry for women like that.
Is that because she isn't very good, or because she really likes the viola? :-)
In case you didn't get it, it's a joke...in music circles, the viola gets made fun of because it tends to be the repository for people who can't quite hack the parts for the violin, so they go play the middle voice that tends not to have as much importance to the melody.
