This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway.
Why not? It's accurate and a perfect description.
In answer to your question. I’m a girl, older now... well way older now, and we solved the issue by carrying extras in our purse. Problem solved. And not to get too graphic, they were not packaged in little pretty pink wrappers either. Kleenex worked just fine for wrapping purposes. In an emergency one went to the school nurse. Good planning made that unnecessary. How in God’s name will these precious little snowflakes make it in the big bad world. I know the answer, the question was merely rhetorical. You can’t fix stupid.
My previous answer and your comment covers the issue and solves the problem. Our country is in a sad state.
We were in the age of pioneers. Independent, responsible, problem solving young women. :)
LOLOLOLOL
Well they could clean the bathrooms to defray cost, but first they have to be taught how and bathroom cleaning plays hell on acrylic nails I hear.
So, sounds like you and the women had common sense ways of handling the problem. A little common sense can go a long way towards dealing with life’s issues. I know from my wife that sometimes cycles can be unpredictable. But still it is not a huge public health emergency, which seems to be how the New York schools are framing the issue.
In our local schools (attended by my friends’ children, not mine) students are not allowed to carry bags or purses. Therefore, a girl who needs a pad has to hope she has time to get to her locker between classes, walk through the halls with a pad in her hand, then get a turn in the bathroom before the next class ... or make a big deal about leaving class to visit the nurse.
It’s insane.
I could have gone all day without giving thought to the bleeding vaginas of the underclass.
It’s times like this that I miss my grandma and her understated restraint.
Are you kidding? You would be hit with the "RACIST!" label in 3 milliseconds. They can't possibly use their delicate hands to clean bathrooms. L-rd, you should have seen what I had to touch to pay for MY college.
You don't have that luxury, white boy. It's your job to PAY for those well-used anatomical miracles.
NYC public schools have become a “service academy” for the welfare rolls and prisons.
They have also been servant centers, with the teachers acting as servants to wait upon their fickle students and cajole, beg, bribe them to want to learn. I hear conversations between a guidance counselor and a student at an alternative last-chance high school: "Why did you skip 156 classes last year, Tryshawnia?" "I dint feel like going to school." "Why not?" "It was boring."
Her welfare benefits did not lessen. She got plenty of food, sex, drugs, whatever she wanted, at our expense. Why ruin it all by studying and maybe getting out of high school to a world beyond, where hot breakfast is NOT brought to your classroom, you actually have to get off your fat a@@ and earn money, you can't call superiors by their first name, you have to produce real work and not "portfolios", and if you fail to produce, you don't get to repeat, you are fired? These ridiculous libtard schools do everything they can to get aboard the "everybody wins a trophy for something" train, there are no consequences for bad behavior or failure to produce, only the teachers are at fault.
