Talk about a teachable moment. A 19-year-old Bellevue woman has been charged with second-degree assault after she allegedly stabbed a classmate Saturday during an anger-management class at Bellevue College. Bellevue police say Faribah Maradiaga "blew up out of control" and stabbed the classmate's arm and shoulder several times after the two women exchanged words. Police said Maradiaga, who already had a pending assault charge, told them that the other woman had threatened her first, according to charging documents.

There is a movie here. I can see it now: the young good looking teenage girls are sent to an anger management class where the teacher wears a hockey mask.....

“A Teachable Moment”. If there were ever a more condescending phrase than that coming from those who issue it, I can’t imagine what it would be.

Especially, since there does not appear to be a "teachable moment" in this scenario.

A teachable moment is literally when a student asks an unplanned question which permits the teacher to use the question to explain the subject at hand.

This author doesn't even try to explain the lesson taught by the so-called teachable moment. She just plugged the phrase in as a substitute for "How ironic>".

That was my first thought - those damned Amish again (cough).

No doubt, part of her defense will be: "But in my country it is allowed."

Wow. They’ll be knocking down the schoolhouse doors to get into that class. It’s soooo effective.

My two hot buttons are;

Conflict resolution or consensus

I concede the point on those two! Ugh. I had the way the language and lexicon is hijacked by the left.

It’s not like it was unexpected. lol

[dixiechick2000]

Those dang Amish...always up to no good.

[Slings and Arrows]
