This school gets trashed on the site. Poor results. Maybe the teacher should be telling the parents Yes Sir and Yes Ma’am, I suck at teaching . . .

This is designed to beat the people down, and turn them into bleating sheep. The kid did something GOOD, and he’s beaten down, whipped, shamed, turned into a criminal. He’s supposed to bow down in submission and beat his chest in sorrow, begging for mercy.

He hasn’t done anything wrong. His parents need to sue. If I had money I would pay the legal costs. Yes.
Their tactic is to criminalize everything we say or do. It is done without any advance notice that a good action is now being treated as criminal. Repeated application of this tactic turns people into submissive, compliant, mindless automatons, willing to do the bidding of the all-powerful authorities.

They have done this in at least one other area of the language: “pronouns.” They throw people in jail for not uttering the pronouns that certain privileged individuals have ordered everyone to use. They did it with “black” and “african-American.” Every day hundreds of formerly innocent words are criminalized.

I have a few words of the language for them, but I will not post them here so that I can keep posting.

This is insane. The boy was polite and if I’m not mistaken, ma’am is traditionally used in the South.

Those responsible for the punishment should have a very difficult time living in that community. They won’t, but they should.

“This is a personnel matter which has been handled appropriately by the K-7 principal.”

IOW, F* off, parents. We know better than you.

No way I sign that paper. If teacher persists, sue the school and the so-called teacher.

Her name is Madam Undersecretary Professor Dolores Jane Umbridge. The kid is lucky she didn’t find her magic pen to write with!

I just want to be on the jury when the parents sue the school for millions.

“Yes Ma’am the jury finds the school guilty of unbelievable stupidity”.

Get government out of education. However, it won’t happen because people are trapped by wanting subsidized babysitting. The government education system drives up prices and taxes, so both mom and dad have to work to afford a house, etc. It’s a self-perpetuating con.

We’re lucky, we have a natural spring and pond on our property. Though we should get a good filter.

Ammo is a great idea too. Always be prepared as, I believe, the Boy Scouts used to say. Hope for the best, but expect the worst.
