Reason 10,224 why we home school.
I could quite easily see how this teacher thought in a twisted way she was doing her pupil good.
But it’s about as seemly a “redemption” as in the musical “Gypsy Rose Lee” where the emotionally abused girl grows up to be a strip teaser. Any of you folks ever see that one? Believe it or not my high school did that as a musical in the mid seventies... and this was in a rather prudish Southern community. No I didn’t have any input into that decision, but I wasn’t a Christian yet. I blush to say I was the piano player for the strip teaser in the play! (Of course they didn’t really strip in the play. But still.)
In some cases, even their own.

.. but again, I also remember the very touching piece “Little Lamb” where the girl, before she was brought up into strip teasing, sang to a lamb (we had a real one) about how she did not know how old she was on her birthday, because her abusive, bossy show biz mother, Rose, kept telling her it was number 5 year after year. (I was asked to play piano for that one too because the band was unable to cope with the key it was scored in.) And it all flew right over my head, how they could look at such damage being done (even in a drama) and not care. I’m weeping to think of it. Nobody got the point.
Nobody got the point.
Not even me.
Think about it.
Do you really want to patronize a unionized prostitute?
Between the work rules and the stupid seniority system you'll end up diddling some 60 y.o. named Edith while paying for the required police detail to direct traffic outside your place of sin. No thanks.
Give me the free market please.
Like they do it in the Philippines. Thank you very much.
That's all we need to know.
Ghetto name. It’s part of how they keep them on the figurative plantation.
Occupational therapy...you’re doing it wrong.
Home made names are a sure sign there are risk factors present!
Their mothers?

WELCOME TO FREE REPUBLIC’S MINNESOTA PING LIST!

FREEPMAIL ME IF YOU WANT ON OR OFF THIS LIST!
It’s an overarching meme.
Today the morphed names chiefly live as ghetto names with, as you said, an Afro slant. Meanwhile we now know the southern redneck thing as Billy-Bob, Cindy-Sue, and the like.
The socially redeeming feature of the resulting movie is that it made me fall in love with Natalie Wood.
Add to that, can moonlight as a madam?!?
LOL.
I don’t even know the movie version, and how it compares with the stage drama. This kind of thing virtually needs a stage to be authentic, because most of it is about stagecraft anyhow.
“Thank a teacher.”
