Another parting gift from Obama to the nation. Obama pushed the idea the black male student were disproportionately being punished so they are forcing schools to change their policies. The example above is the intended consequence.

A few years ago, Minneapolis passed a law a minority student could be punished without permission of the superintendent.

This is a huge problem in Wisconsin.

At a recent funeral of a high school class mate, we discussed our 7th grade teacher who’d slap us quite hard on the back of the hand with a ruler as a form of punishment.

We accepted it, said nothing to our parents. We knew to lay our hands flat on the desk when she started walking towards us with her death ray eyes glaring at her subject with ruler in hand.

About 30 years later she invited me to her home for a pancake breakfast. Very nice lady.

I do not think any of my HS graduating class ever wound up in prison. Today no teacher would dare do anything like that.

Seriously? When students misbehaved in school in Mississippi back in the 70’s and 80’s, there was corporal punishment with a huge paddle. I lived in Mississippi as a kid and I remember the “Board of Education” (Nobody misbehaved in Coach’s class, btw) Have they eliminated the paddle? If so, yeah, they’ve got problems. “Spare the paddle and spoil the child.”

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

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.

Obviously because protected minorities were doing things that deserved to be punished.

Well, I was surprised. Only 69% black, 29% white. Only 53% on the free lunch program. It certainly isn’t going to be the worst school in the Jackson area.

Watched the video. Apparently all the participants qualify as nobama’s children.
