So my son was slouching at his desk in his reading class. The teacher comes up and says " If Obama walked in this class right no, what do you think he'd think about you?".
My son answered..."That I'm slouching?"
Teacher.."But what do you think he'd think ABOUT you?"
Son.." That I'm being lazy?"
Teacher.." and don't you want to make Pres. Obama proud? Don't you want to please him?"
I was stunned..I bust out laughing because it sounds so silly! I told my son I'm glad he didn't smart off about Obama because she is grading him, but that didn't seem appropriate (aside from sounding stupid) and to let me know if she does this kind of thing again. My son..know to be a bit of a drama king, kept exclaiming that she is trying to indocrinate him. I told him he's too smart for it to work..:)
When I was in 7th grade the election was between Nixon and McGovern - given what was happening then, and the fact my parents were Democrats, I ignorantly believed McGovern was the best candidate. Thankfully he lost. My first presidential election after turning 18 (1977) was Reagan v Carter - no contest on who to vote for there. I became a Conservative upon turning 18 and have voted that way since.
Wow, so the lefties are using Obama like Santa Claus now. He’s keeping his list, and checking it twice...
My son told his reading teacher that Obama was a socialist who was leading our country to destruction. She has since stopped talking about Obama in his class. He also has a copy of the constitution in his wallet and has won more than 1 argument with her with that little tool. Not bad for an 8th grader. He still got an A in her class.
If I may interject...i don’t think Mr. Lucky read the post clearly, that’s all, no harm intended. Right, Mr. Lucky?!
Wow! Still received an “A” from a liberal teacher. Perhaps there is hope after all.
You shoulda been a diplomat.
It’s funny how so many people missed the beginning of the sentence - “WHEN my 27 y/o son WAS in grade school...”.
Super fantastic!
i don’t know what he would say to me... nor would i care... but i do know what i would say to him.
“what are you doing an a jr high classroom? isn’t there a war going on? aren’t Americans putting their lives on the line right now?? we’re paying you... the least you can do is show up for work.”
just give me the opportunity... i would have NO problem talking this impostor down.
freakin poser (i really hate libs)
Good for your son for not smarting off. I am sure he was tempted! I also have a 12 year old conservative son. He’s in a small Lutheran school, so he hasn’t run across an rampant Obama supporter for a teacher yet. I hope in the future when he goes to a different school he can handle an incident like this with as much class as your son.
Our District delayed the showing of the “Dear Leader” speech to school students (so that a plethora of teachers, administrators, etc., could review it.
When it was finally shown, parents could still opt out, but my 15 year old begged me not too (he didn’t want to have to leave the room). So he watched it (he is a HS sophmore).
During that school day, in appropriate history/law/govt classes, the students who viewed it were asked to write their thoughts (not for a grade as some students did opt out). Now remember this was midSeptember...
My smarta$$ son (who has his mom’s sense of humor) wrote “I really didn’t pay attention to the President’s video, but I know Beyonce’s was better.”
I was made aware of this (with a smirk and thumbs up from the teacher at his Open House Night).
I had a teacher tell the class that,
“I always wanted to go to a Billy Graham crusade, I have never seen a man make people bark like dogs before.”
The class bell rang just as she finished so I didn’t get a chance to challenge what she said. I decided later not to tell her she was wrong. Billy Graham was speaking locally in a few weeks. If I told her she might not go.
The teacher had probably already learned to not fail conservative kids without good reason. Dad will come down and straighten things out.
I am. I swear I know the souls of the great framers here in Quincy, Mass. Their hearts and souls are still in the air!
Wow..now that is what I hope for my son when he is older..smart witty comebacks. (Actually I hope Obama is not in office after his soph. year)
I don't know what on earth my 10 yr old home schooled daughter would say to a question like that. I am sure she wouldn't be rude but she has plenty of thoughts on 0 & none of them very nice. Maybe I will ask her that first thing tomorrow. I have the feeling she will say but Mommy that man isn't allowed in our house is he?
The cult of obama is growing desperate in the face of his continued mental deterioration and instability as embodied by his continued attacks on on a news outlet for failing to prostrate themselves like the rest of the media.
Some people are truly followers, programmed to be led by anyone who can use a soothing tone and mesmerize them with his soulless eyes. Sheep in the truest sense nothing more than prey animals for predators.
This teacher needs to be retired and quickly.
