They tell me that one of the big disadvantages of Home Schooling is that your child will miss out on the wonderful socialization opportunities that are daily occurrences at government schools ...
Good thing she was wearing a mask on the bus.
The story lacks a key piece of information: how Republicans and white supremacists are responsible for the girl pulling a gun.
Baby girl just keepin’ it real, yo.
School officials will work up a rage against the gun but leave the bullies alone to assault and emotionally damage their victims.
“...said ‘when a child is under frustration and being bullied, she is supposed to have help with her self-defense.’”
Bullying is horrible. I was. Never pulled a gun, although I did wallop an especially mean guy with my crutch in sixth grade. (He shaped up.) All it did was toughen me up for life and make me able scoff at people who tried to use peer pressure on me.
The next New Orleans mayor?
I serve on a committee that has held annual conferences in NOLA for the past 25 years. No more... just had an organizing meeting a week or so ago and it was unanimous to move to a different location.
This is nothing more than the natural extension of a government refusing to enforce laws, encouraging others to view even words as physical violence and a culture that places feelings above rational thought.
People WILL begin to take actions into their own hand and teach their children to do likewise, it is literally a matter of survival. I do not condone the event in the least but can understand how it has gotten to this point.
Constitutional CCW wins again, slapdown of a person defending themselves continues.
Got a gun from a nearby car?....Huh?....Whose car? Who owned that gun?
A good news thing ... if one does not see the pictures in the article it would be hard to decide if we should quantify this incident as a ‘hate crime’. The article is decidedly neutral as no names are mentioned nor offers any other information that may skew one’s ideas about the incident.
The bad news thing ... the pictures firmly cement in one’s mind any presupposition about the perp.
Bottom line: no one with a 3-digit IQ is surprised.
Just another poo flingin’ day at the zoo.
I thought this was in a local fast food restaurant and then upon closer inspection realized it was a school bus.
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.
Maybe she was “triggered”?
New Orleans Public Schools also released a statement regarding the incident, and said they are 'aware of an incident involving a weapon and a student from Akili Academy.'
Akili???? Seems about right.
“Mom” seems to be alright with kids taking guns to school. I hope they’re teaching these kids to smoke after having sex or being in a gunfight.
Just another day in an ordinary, run-of-the-mill Chocolate City.
Ray Nagin would be proud.
