4-Year-Old Expelled from Preschool over Mom’s Facebook Rant
Yahoo ^ | 08/28/2014 | Jordan Valinsky

Posted on 08/28/2014 2:39:29 PM PDT by Responsibility2nd

Ashley Habat wasn’t thrilled that the school didn’t give her enough time to prep her son Will for picture day, reports a Jacksonville television station.

Understandably, she ranted about the school on her personal Facebook page, writing, “Why is it that every single day there is something new I dislike about Will’s School? Are my standards really too high or are people working in the education field really just that ignorant?”

Should private schools have the right to expel students over their parents' social media postings?

WTF is your kid doing in pre-school, anyway, Lady? You’ve got time to FB or Freep? You’ve got time to home school.

Got a husband or other means of support besides the taxpayer dollar? Then, make it so. :)

Ludicrous. Absolutely not.

I notice schools all over the country don’t punish the kids when Dad is in drug rehab and Mon is behind bars.

Pre School isn’t education. Its babysitting.

Should private schools businesses have the right to expel students not do business over their parents' social media postings public attacks of the business?

Why yes, I think any private business should have every right to terminate any business relationship with a customer who is attempting to cause harm to the business.

It is a glorified day care. Momma wants to diss her babysitter, that's between the two of them. It needs to stop being dressed up as anything other than daycare.

GREAT comment at the link....

The great thing about social media is it gives everyone a platform. The worst thing about social media is that so many use that platform to be bafoons.

Understandably, she ranted about the school on her personal Facebook page ...

No, that's not understandable. This is something that a normal parent gives a shrug and maybe, if it's been an especially trying day, an, "Oh, well."

It’s a private school, so yes.

Not that this is the most productive thing for this case.

Bafoon. Always check the Urban Dictionary.

 

Urban Dictionary: bafoon

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bafoon
 
bafoon. Fool, idiot, one who pretents to know something but does not. Larry the
bafoon claims to have fixed something that he knows absolutely nothing about.

The latter.

1st off.....it’s not a preSCHOOL. It’s a glorified daycare.

Second......instead of whining, the mother should pull the kid out.
No one on facebook gives a rat’s butt about the crappy daycare, or her problems.

Become a real mother and pull the kid out and take the little kid somewhere better. OR ....take care of your kid yourself MOM!

You bet. Private schools are being inundated with enrollment applications. Having money isn’t necessarily a prerequisite for admission. If parents have a complaint about a private school they are certainly welcome to take their child elsewhere.

Sounds like something you don’t want in your preschool.

The reference in the article to a prohibition on “sowing discord” leads me to believe this is a church program. A parent who can’t go to a teacher or administrator and politely say, “I wish you’d given us more time to prepare for the picture,” is going to be nothing but a pain for the entire school year.

According to the article, she “tagged” the school in Facebook. Is that like a ping?
