@celiacorreia@CW23CW@PeakOfTruth@fvckerysprinkle I don't agree with you. You'd probably have to go on anxiety meds preparing for one 6 hr presentation. Teacher's have to do that nightly. Their day doesn't end when the kids go home. They need to get ready for the next 6 hour presentation.
So my daughter had a test and asked her teacher if she was going to grade them over the weekend so she could know her grade on Monday.
Her teachers reply “I’m not spending my weekend grading papers.”
Okay then.. moving forward my children will not spending their after school hours doing hours of homework.
They will not spending their weekend working on projects. They can do that during school time then.
@oldmandavid17@fvckerysprinkle Funny you say that because I've found the opposite. If you're lucky enough to find a teacher who's given up on the system looking for a job at your company...hire them! You won't regret it, they are the best and hardest workers...truly difference makers.
@fvckerysprinkle I do enjoy a good cookie...thanks! My wife teaches in a public middle school so I know a thing or two about what you are experiencing. What would you say if someone who reports to you at works asks you to give up your weekend plans to finish a report for him/her?
@BroadbackBo That’s great. Congratulations!
You want a cookie? You haven’t had children in the public schooling systems for how long now…?
I’m not talking about college.. I’m talking about young kids.
@fvckerysprinkle And I've got one who is a resident OBGYN, one who is studying to be an anesthesiologist assistant and has a DJing residency in her free time and a senior in high school who plans on becoming a lawyer. So if your kids ever need a doctor or lawyer....
@BroadbackBo No it’s because we have teachers and administrators who care more about making sure they collect money from parents and hand kids an iPad and say “good luck”
But go on, queen.
@fvckerysprinkle I can tell you what you are teaching her. You're teaching her to have no respect for teachers and it's that much more difficult to learn in a setting where the kids don't respect that the teacher is the authority in that classroom. Be the teacher's partner not their adversary.
@fvckerysprinkle We must push for school year-round. The kids no longer have to work on the farm during their summers. Those that do, of course, can have different curricula. Ours is no longer a developing, agrarian economy.
I was in a nice restaurant in Paris and my 9 month old baby girl started crying.
An older woman, the owner, power walked up to me with her arms stretched out, speaking French, and grabbed my baby and held her against her cheek.
So sweet, in broken english, she demanded I sit down and enjoy my meal and that she would take care of her new little princess.
They both looked so happy after a few minutes of pacing, and I swear the chef prepared a comically large, full chicken and mashed potatoes for my bay girl of which she had half of all over her face within minutes.
This was not the only time on my trip that an older woman stopped what she was doing to help us.
I walked into a bar, midday, asking to use their bathroom changing table. They laughed and said that was not a thing in Paris. They moved everything off of the bar and insisted I change her diaper right there. Gross right? Nobody in the bar was phased!! They looked happy to be helpful!
It was embarrassing to accept help at first until I realized that it was truly their pleasure and their culture. (Now that a couple of my kids are looking more like adults than babies, I get it. You miss having those babies around.)
I LOVE helping women with their babies. I do not claim to know any more than them, but sometimes it just takes someone who is “not mama” to distract them.
And for the parents, this empathy means the absolute world.
I rarely experience family friendly moments like this, even in the South.
Asheville restaurants have turned away my very well dressed family, and even said comments like “we’re not that family friendly. You should try the pizza place down the street.”
We went to Kiawah Island every summer for years, but after multiple experiences of being turned away after them seeing we have a toddler with us, I am done.
It’s really sad because it’s not just the restaurants fault, it’s our culture that is allowing this to happen. If people were excited to see children in public, their restaurants would follow their lead.
I would love to get back to traditional southern culture, where children and babies are welcomed members of society.
Where it is not just OK to bring them out of the home, it is encouraged.
I would love to get back to a culture of community.
@UGADAWGS019@OleTimeHardball You must have missed an earlier post where I was moving past the how they came about that and went into the why.

If Iran dropped a bomb on US soil and killed 168 girls, WE all know what America’s response would be. Nuke Iran.
America is the only country to have ever nuked another country. Yet so many fools have been brainwashed that it’s Iran who cannot have a nuclear weapon because they would bomb everyone. But we all know, it is America that has no restraint to bombing anyone at will and using a nuke. Knowledge is free, just as stupidity is free!
Saw two adolescent boys absolutely terrorizing a family of geese across a huge public park lawn. No reason. Just for fun. Scaring them. Chasing them. Trying to kick them. I was fifty yards away. “Hey! Leave the geese alone!” Nothing. “Hey!!! Stop chasing the geese!!!” They looked at me and hesitated. Then kept going. I summoned the spirit of every soul brutalized by men and said “LEAVE THE BIRDS ALONE!!!!!!!” The entire waterfront park stopped and the boys RAN to their dad.
I am at the point where I have zero embarrassment for calling out men of every age for their actions. Whatever sickness men have, it starts young. It starts taking pleasure in the distress of others. I simply won’t stand for it.
And parents! The fuq ya’ll doin with these boys????????
@CarolinaWDR@LisaBritton 100%. When the man is the person with the red mist problem and the woman is the manipulator things go very differently in both the courts of public opinion and law.
@LisaBritton I can assure you the term 'Reactionary Abuse' was used somewhere in that explanation.
Its the term they use now days to excuse the behavior, but it only applies to women, from what I am told.
Taylor Frankie Paul says 𝘴𝘩𝘦 is the victim after a video was released showing her launching metal bar stools at her ex.
Her statement says that "There are too many women who are suffering in silence as they survive aggressive, jealous ex-partners who refuse to let them move on with their lives… Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security," a spokesperson for Paul said to People.
It appears we have another aggressor who is playing the victim card. The best thing to do right now is to be honest about female perpetrators of abuse, and encourage other women to get the help they need.
That never seems to happen in these cases.
