My teenaged son bought a cap gun at Cracker Barrel this past summer. I think I saw some last week, but I don’t remember what store. One of our children pointed them out.

These “educated professional” administrators and teachers are either too gutless or stupid to do their jobs and instead follow the zero tolerance one size fits all play book for everything they encounter in school.

They refuse to think or dare consider using commom sense in any situation. These “educators” demand more and more $$$ yet a high school graduate could follow the one size fits all drivel they pass as an education system and probably do the job as well or better than the “professional”.

You know... school board elections have got to be the very easiest to win and influence. One solution is to sue the school for damages. The other is to kick the school board out and fire the superintendent. I’m generally in favor of the second option. The last thing we need is more courts ruling what schools can and can’t do. It generally just gets worse when lawyers and judges come into the picture.

What do principals make and they can’t exercise discretion?

This is series. An imaginary friend of mine was killed by an imaginary arrow.

Maybe if several schools who are this stupid are sued. But then it’s the taxpayers who pay for it.

The taxpayers deserved to get screwed in these cases. This isn't some federal agency 500 miles away. These people are way more accessible to the vaunted taxpayers. If they don't demand that their school boards resend these zero tolerance policies or pass laws holding school employees personally accountable, then they get to pay for the damage.

Imagine a world without teachers. Looks good to me.

. If my grandparents and their peers were still alive, ... their minds could not even mentally process such sheer insanity

Yes they would, and they would know what it meant. They would long ago have been out in the streets in organized mobs replete with pitchforks, tar and feathers!

Nowadays, we just play with our iPhones and continue to pay our taxes.

It’s criminal to have an imaginary bow and arrow, but not for a teacher to seduce a student? Please explain how this is logical.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
