Nothing wrong with this punishment. Better than a parent who blames the school.
....as long as you didn’t take your eye off of her (i.e. guarded her) the whole way, good job Dad!
Uphill both ways?
I don’t agree with posting on Facebook. A lot of lawyers these days have a social media policy in our fee agreements that the client is required to shut down the social media during the representation.
'I'm not going to be another parent that's just going to brush things under the rug and say kids will be kids.'
So, what is it, Mr. Dad of the Year? Are you trying to be a good parent, or an attention-seeking narcissist?
This whole story is a story because DAD POSTED A PRIVATE MATTER ONLINE. Back in the day, parents would handle this privately and not make this a public spectacle. Now Dad gets his 15 min of fame and if he's lucky his daughter will behave or, more likely, she will hold this against him the rest of his life.
I am not saying his daughter should get away with bullying. But I AM saying Dad seems more interested in displaying to the world how bitchin' he is at parenting.
when my kid was a teen, she snuck out of the house and got into a minor car accident.
She had to go to driving school for a day. I told her i absolutely would NOT accompany her to class- if her dad did not do it, she was SOL.
alot of people thought i was wrong, but as far as i was concerned, if she had listened to me in the 1st place, there would not have been an accident.
Something like this would NEVER have made the news when I was little as it was common for parents to parent.
Some flaming lib from Child Protective Services will be paying him a visit.
The real issue to think about this is why it is national news.................
Uphill, both ways?
I used to walk five miles to school every day!
Up hill!
BOTH WAYS!....................
I had to walk a mile home with my sister I know starting in the third grade. Mom and dad had had only one car. Dad would take us to school and sister and I had to walk home. It didn’t mater how bad the weather, snow,or rain. I remember one time it was a bad thunderstorm and mom found someone to pick us up. Otherwise we walked!
This is GREAT!! I drove a school bus for nine years and from time to time I would have to write up a kid for misbehavior and sometimes they would get kicked off of the bus. I felt bad for the parents because most of the time they had no idea that their kid was a problem on the bus until they got kicked off because the principle usually never said anything. I felt like the parent was being punished and the kid was getting pampered by getting to be a “car rider”, which a lot of times was a hardship on the parent. Kudos to that father for making his kid accountable!!!!
So? I had to walk 20 miles through 6 feet of snow to school every day, when I was a kid! ;-)
Finally, a parent holding their kid accountable and using discipline.
My dad would have done the same thing.
Here will come the screaming liberals calling child abuse.
Boo boo. :-( I walked in all weather to go to school. I was more than 5 miles. Mom went to work at 4am and got home a 5pm. No bus school 8am to 3pm.
All through grade school, starting Grade One, in every kind of weather, and this was in Erie, PA where the snow is outrageous. On blizzard days, o course, schools were closed. I mean blizzard. But as soon as the roads were cleared, school was on again and my brother and I had to walk to and from school, which was just past 3 miles away.
I know the distance because the Parochial School kids could ride the buses with a subsidy (this was in the 1950's) if we were more than 3 miles from the school. They published a city may with a 3 mile radius circle drawn around the school, and we were just outside the circle.
So 5 miles is not at all over-the-top for an object-lesson on a bullying 10-year-old.
She will never forget. And she'll be better for it. Amen to that.
Up hill, both ways in the snow. On icy days we had to wrap our bare feet in barbed wire for traction.
