Hyperbolic snowflakes ain’t going anywhere.
So, the father rewards her with two ice cream cones for her absurd response. A snowflake in the making, folks.
They have won......they have most the children now.
She should read up on Communism and then she’ll find out what the teachers are really up to
“Mason, an author, shared a picture of her ingenious answer online, writing: ‘My daughter actually submitted this feedback at school. Not sure if I should ground her or buy her ice cream.’”
PUBLICITY STUNT——and The Daily Mail fell for it.

Not so sure about that. Claiming victim status and wrongly citing laws as a defense may help her with the DemocRat party.
She is cute, and it was a clever response.
You should see the nonsense going on at Evergreen State College right now.
Google it, or search for it on YT.
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.
While I agree that group punishment is wrong, she went about it wrong and gave the wrong reason for opposing it.
The reason I don't favor it is because it gives one individual power over all the rest of the people in the group.
And I've noticed that the perpetrator doesn't mind sitting out his punishment, which he would have gotten anyway, when he can ruin it for everyone else and he knows that all the innocent are being punished along with him. Knowing he ticked everyone else off and made them mad is its own reward for the trouble maker. He then sits back and laughs at everyone, building resentment in the other kids.
Also, it removes any motivation for anyone else to behave. If they are going to get punished because of someone else's wrong doing, why bother to be good at all?
People should be punished for their own *crimes*, NOT someone else's.

It seems OK to do for behaving because anyone can behave and peer pressure can do wonders.
In 3rd grade, our teacher promised to buy everyone in class a candy bar if the whole class received a hundred on the spelling test (held each week). As I recall, our class only made it twice.
Looking back, there was a couple of the kids who probably didn’t really have the mental horsepower to do well on spelling tests. Fortunately, most of the time 2 or 3 missed a word so it wasn’t too difficult on them other than they lost PE privileges for the week so they could study for the upcoming spelling exam.
“collective punishment “
Then reparations is a non-starter, eh?
Then making Whites pay more for college is illegal.
Then the double standard is wrong.
Then courses on “White privilege” have to stop.
Only logical.
Dunno much about the teacher, but if he is a straight male, he may have just deliberately roundabout taught her to reject socialism.
I can hope anyway.
