Had a parent-teacher conference this morning
My wife told me not to come
I came anyway
She said "please just listen and nod"
I said "I always listen"
She said "you listen like you're sitting in a boardroom looking for something to challenge"
That's how listening works
Nice classroom
Small chairs
I am 6'4" and was seated at a desk designed for someone who still believes in Santa Claus
My knees touched my chest
The teacher introduced herself
Shared her identified pronouns
I shared my identified adjectives
Smart and handsome
My wife closed her eyes
The teacher had a folder
Color-coded tabs
I respected the organization
She said our son is "a pleasure to have in class"
My wife smiled
I waited
That sentence is never the whole report
It's the executive summary before the risk section
She said "however"
There it is
She said he "asks a lot of questions"
I said "good"
She said "during quiet time"
I said "when is quiet time?"
She said "it's when students are expected to work independently and in silence"
I said "so he's the only one trying to get information and you've structured the environment to prevent it?"
My wife put her hand on my arm
I continued
The teacher said he recently told another student that "sharing pencils doesn't make sense if nobody brings their own"
I said "that's an accurate observation"
My wife squeezed harder
The teacher said she's concerned about his "resistance to group activities"
I said "he's not resistant. He just doesn't see the value of doing more work for the same grade."
The teacher said he also corrected her math on the whiteboard
I said "was he right?"
She paused
She said "that's not the point"
I said "it's a little bit the point"
My wife stood up
Sat back down
Compromise
The teacher pulled out an evaluation sheet
Categories like "works well with others" and "follows directions" and "respects classroom norms"
All subjective
Not a number on the page
I asked how these are graded
She said "based on observation"
I said "so one person's opinion with no second review?"
She said "it's professional judgment"
I said "my auditors say that too. Right before I disagree with them."
She looked at my wife
My wife said "I'm sorry about him"
I said "I'm sitting right here"
My wife said "I know"
The teacher said overall he's a bright kid and she just wants to make sure he learns to "collaborate"
I said "collaboration is important. But so is recognizing when you're the only one doing the work. He'll learn that again in college. And again in the real world. Might as well start now."
Nobody spoke
The teacher closed her folder
She said "I think we've covered everything"
I said "one more thing"
She braced herself
I said "his reading is above grade level. His math is strong. He asks hard questions and corrects mistakes when he sees them. I just want to make sure this school knows what it has."
The teacher looked at me differently
My wife looked at me differently
I said "that's all"
We left
In the car my wife was quiet
Then she said "he's turning into you"
I said "is that a good thing?"
She didn't answer
From the backseat he said "dad, why does the teacher count off for asking questions? Isn't that the whole point of school?"
I looked at my wife
She looked out the window
I said "yes. It is."
He said "I don't think she likes when I'm right"
I didn't say anything
Neither did my wife
Small chairs
Color-coded tabs
No follow-up items
But the kid's going to be fine

In case you don't know what it's like to be a woman in Iran and/or what it's been like under the Ayatollah's regime for all Iranians - she explains it very concisely.
Wonder if any of the White Liberal women and/or the other protestors who are so upset with Trump would want to live in Iran under the Ayatollah's brutal regime - I wouldn't be able to live there after living in a free country.
Would you want to live in Iran under the circumstances this woman describes - not me!

Every civilization practiced slavery.
The West was the first to end it - globally.
And we did so on moral grounds.
Students aren’t taught that.
Instead, they’re taught to hate white people and the West.

I'm glad to see this. Voter ID is a no brainer.

Sen. Susan Collins just backed the SAVE America Act — giving Republicans 50 votes. If it comes down to 50–50, VP JD Vance could break the tie.

@LandsEnd I have been a customer for 40+ years and have never purchase women’s clothes and yet my emails always promote women’s merchandise. I’ve tried calling customer service but they haven’t helped. Please stop - and only send male promotional emails.

Democrats constantly push this idea that minorities are oppressed by straight white people. That hasn’t been my lived reality at all.
I’ve lived in America my whole life and I’ve never felt oppressed by white people. I can do anything a white person can do in this country.
This narrative isn’t about empowering minorities. It’s emotional manipulation to keep people angry, dependent, and voting the way Democrats want.
