found it on the web, not sure the original website but i found it funny
:)

hahaha.. kernel of truth in there

Sounds pretty accurate. Can't wait to see what happens in another few years.

Speaking of which, Happy Holiday Season! If you have a holiday tree, may it have many holiday decorations with holiday presents under in wait for your 2.5 male and/or female persons of age challenged individuals.

If you don't have a holiday tree, may you rot in hell you heathen anti-christ little bastards. You'll never get into our pearly gates!

Well the English and the female on male student hug are out of place.

Everyone loves to hate on the ACLU.

A old friend told me a story when he was a kid. He went to catholic school, got mouthy with the nun and she smacked him in his face. He goes home tells his dad what happened thinking boy she is in trouble now. His father says what did you do to drive that poor woman to do that and beat the hell out of him.
It wouldnt go the same way today.

sounds about right :thumbsup

Let me tell you, I would much rather take the discipline meted out by my teachers than have them rat me out to my dad.

I have a pretty good story about getting caught smoking at a school function. If I had not put up a great argument of how I was not at a school function (because I was rooting for the other team) I would have been suspended.

I can assure you, the suspension would have been the least of my worries.

this happened to me more than once - we had the strap in elementary school and I got it a whole bunch of times in my 6 years in elementary school and Principal Burwell who was a good man would call your parents when he used it - and then i'd get more crap at home for whatever I did and he had the full support of parents. you did something bad ol' Frank would interrupt the class, grab you and walk you out of the class and everybody would know where you were headed and what was going to happen.

sad, but true

I can remember the ping pong paddle with holes drilled in it that our vice principal used.

Whoa! That's some ghetto fab style action right there. Smacked up by a teacher = sue the school and the teacher.

Observation ......
 

1967- Elementary school bell rings, 30 seconds later the noise of kids leaving school ... some walking, some riding bikes, all taking their time playing on the way home.

2007- Long line of cars slowely snaking up to the school entrance where kids are picked up one at a time. Teachers clip-board in hand releasing only to pre-approved family members.
