Sadly - the kid was probably also excited to see his father.

All Negroes look alike. Oh wait...

“they all look alike”...

And again, I can understand the family being upset."

How seriously darned nice of you for your understanding. But instead of you being so understanding, how about you bird-brains stop making so many mistakes?

[accidentally handed over the wrong 8-year-old student to a child-welfare worker]

1) it was a kid
2) the kid was a he
3) he was a second grader
4) the second grader was 8 years old
5) the 8-year-old was a student there

They went 5 for 6. That’s better than 83%.

So the school gets a “B”.

And there’s the tell.

Free lunch at McDonalds... my kids would have probably gone at that age.

Yeah, really nice of them for their understanding, but I believe that person would have been on the receiving end of every curse word in the book, and maybe a few that aren’t. I wonder when the lawsuit will be filed?

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.

I guess the name was not that distinctive after all.

Sadly, I think members of that particular community are not likely to homeschool. Unless the child is being taken care of by their grandmother, which is usually the case.

oh Dear Lord....

[reasonisfaith]

“the case worker had not previously met the child he was supposed to pick up before arriving at the school, and the child he mistakenly picked up never raised any questions about why he was taken from his classroom”

Is this their protocol for making sure they ID the right kid?

[reasonisfaith]

“It was a mistake, and it’s explainable.”

Explanation: your agency is incompetent.

Hub’s ex-shrew (liberal) worked for that agency locally and made her way to supervisor by kissing up to the manager; another feminazi who set her own house on fire literally.

She is dumb as a box of rocks having plagiarized her way to a degree in English AND a terrible parent who tells others how to parent THEIR children (she’s moved on to not for profit foster agency)

Real child abuse goes uninvestigated as its mostly a tool to bully non custodial caucasian fathers out of their visitation.

In response to a request for comment, the CFSA directed Insider to comments from its director, Brenda Donald...

...they all look the same

[yldstrk]

In my two sisters’ cases, “homeschool” was so no one would have to get up early or be anywhere at any particular time...now before you all get excited, I know there are many legitimate home school situations. However, not all.

[RWGinger]

No the school was incompetent. The agency did not go in and randomly get a kid.
The school made the mistake
