I CAN'T STAND THESE FEMINIST *******
YES I'M SHOUTING
THE KID HAD WHAT IS CALLED "GOOD MANNERS"
I JUST KNOW THERE IS GOING TO BE FREEPERS HERE WHO CALLED THEIR TEACHERS "MA'AM" AND WOULD HAVE BEEN PUNISHED FOR NOT DOING IT.
I'M SO ANGRY I COULD JUST SPIT.
Well, he needs to be made to understand that nowadays, in order not to offend certain minorities, the correct term is “bitch.”
As in “yes, bitch.”
Democrats are scum.
I’d write “Feminist C***” instead.
When I was in school in Florida in the early 60’s, you had damn well better say ma’am & sir. Further, if a girl was to be next to you in the cafeteria, you had better pull her chair out for her.
Back long ago when I was a practicing lawyer held in contempt by an alleged, professed lesbian judge, I fufilled her punishment of a $100 donation to a charity.
Because she wanted to embarrass me, she had me present the receipt in open court and you should have seen her face when I presented the receipt from a pro-life pregnancy assist center. Hehe.
Maybe instead of “Yes, ma’am”, he shoulda said “Yo! Ho! Dat da fact”?
He’d probably be given student of the year award in most schools nowadays.
Private schools. No matter the cost.
Here's a disgusting quote from Senator Barbara Boxer to then Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh of the Army Corps of Engineers when he appeared before the Senate back in 2009 and responded to her respectfully as "Yes Ma'am".....
"“Do me a favor, can you say ‘senator’ instead of ‘ma’am’?” Mrs. Boxer pointedly asked the general. “It’s just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title, so I’d appreciate it. Thank you.”
An elected POS dressing down a career military Army General is beyond the pale of acceptance and civility...........
Reminds me of when I was in 4th grade. The teacher was strict, yet calm and kind nature, so I thought, or at least until Sheila, a new girl, an army brat, who previously lived in Kansas, joined the class. The teacher introduced her to the class and then asked her a question something like, “So, Sheila, you used to live in Kansas.” Sheila answered, “Yes, ma’am, I used to live in Kansas.” Uh, oh! The teacher, Miss D., who was an older, unmarried woman, who my aunt had had for her 4th grade teacher 12 years previously and who was a woman that at some point in time might have been referred to as a spinster or a biddy, suddenly became enraged. She shrieked “What did you call me?” Sheila, looking scared and confused answered something like “Ma’am. I called you ma’am, ma’am.” Miss D. “How dare you? Don’t you ever call me or anyone else ma’am that is rude and sounds like you are sassing me. I won’t stand for it.” Wow! We all sat there wondering where did this come from. I could see if it was one of us Yankee kids saying “Yes, ma’am.” but a kid from Kansas, where this was probably polite, how would she know (we were rude) didn’t use such terminology. Sheila, said something like “Sorry, I didn’t know I’m not suppose to say ma’am. Where I lived in Kansas, I would be in trouble if I didn’t say “Yes, ma’am.” Miss D: “Well you don’t live there anymore. You live here and you are going to learn to do things the right way.” Wow! I’m sitting there thinking thinking ????? Why did the teach over react and why is this rude? I still don’t get it. Sheila moved away about a year later, but I still remember this moment and how sad I felt for her.
She doesn’t want to know what I would call her.
“public charter school”
No different than just “public school”, so why should ANY PARENT expect better?
I bet that the school makes a big deal about not bullying ...while their teacher is a bully.
He’s no longer in her class. Next time he sees her in the hallway I hope he bumps into her and goes out of the way to say “excuse me ma’am”.
My mother told me she had a similar instance back in the 1920’s (her grammar school years). Said her teacher accused her of mispelling her own name and made her write it the incorrect way on the board 100 times after school.
So happens her name has an extra 2 letters on the end and is a derivation of a common name. Her mother was incensed at the teacher on finding out and cussed her out publicly.
I’d teach him to say “Yes, I’ll see you next Tuesday, ma’am”.
Some folks are just a waste of flesh.
/Lord, come quickly? Just make this over with already...
She’s just like that ahole I held the door for
on lower Broadway in ‘78
“Don’t expect me to thank you”
I think it’s something that happens more in the South than in the rest of the country. I grew up in the Northeast and we were never taught to say “ma’am” or “sir”. We called all elders Mr., Miss or Mrs.
I hope the teacher pays a price for such stupid orders.
I want to clarify my previous post to ExTexasRedhead. After my post she PM’d me & clarified her post. I understand now why she wrote such a strong post. She has been involved for a long time and documented what she has seen. After mailing each other I realize we have a lot in common.
I applaud her for her activism. Education is in crisis & I don’t see a happy ending. So many things are too far gone. Unless of course there are a couple million ExTexasRedheads out there. And there aren’t.
I will toast her with a glass of wine tonight for her untiring work. L’chaim!
“damned if you do - damned if you don’t”
I would have been punished if I HADN’T called her ma’am. Because that’s the way I was raised.
Not only that, he comes from an intact African American family teaching their son to be polite and productive...oh the horror!/s
