Stupidest things that your school system has done

[Luw]

Giving out "out of school suspensions". I don't understand how you could deprive kids of their education, even if the student was behaving poorly. I say just give them a spanking and be done with it.

[Gallowfield]

Ummm, cutting all the gifted programs, definitely. My 400 student elementary school had more advanced classes than my 1,200 student middle school. I wonder what people like that are thinking.......

[The God-Realm]

One of the local school districts banned the Lord of the Rings books from the school libraries and from being used as a teaching aid in English classes after the movies came out because members of the Parent/Teacher Organization (mostly parents) who have never read the actual books complained about them being violent.

Parents are dumbasses mostly if they belong to a Parent Banalldathings group.

I should know, my mom was the president of the local chapter.

How to do mathematics so when they work at factories

An education such as the one above would be all in good faith, if it wasn't for the fact that most of the factory work in the United States has been gutted ( mostly shipped off to foreign soil ). What good is a country without a solid manufacturing base? A manufacturing base to provide jobs and vital materials that are always needed and now must come from halfway around the globe.

The worst thing the modern school system today has done is that it has taught children not to think outside of the box and to accept what is quickly becoming a convoluted reality. Thankfully I graduated before that system was put into place and actually enforced ( you have to love the problems that No Child Left Behind has bought upon the nation ) .

A teacher at a school that I went to showed a school board approved movie on the basics of advertising. In the film a more inappropriate ad was shown for a few seconds as the movie described how models were used in the advertising business.

A girl went home and told her mom about the image in the School board approved movie

The parent of the girl then called the school complaining about how it offended her daughter and how she was disappointed that a movie like that would be shown in a public school.

Ultimately it was the teacher that got in trouble.

the stupidest thing you say?

Well, when a black girl tried to steal shit from me (For every school day in a 3-5 month period), After like a week of trying to resolve the issue, they start getting mad at me because i called her a nigger ONCE out of anger



but i won (barely) in the end

You called someone that and think that you being punished is stupid?

The person acting truly stupid there was you. Not just stupid, but racist as well.

Top work.

So many to choose from, but I'll narrow it down to four:

Grade 5-6: Despite both children and parents complain about a kid bullying me and a few others, the principal and staff decided that, since I was a antisocial at the time, that I was simply "overreacting" and that he was "just joking", despite the fact that, publicly, he had humiliated me because of my religion and politics.

Grade 7: Someone brought up Obama and he just got elected. I remarked that I didn't want him to win but, exact words, "What the heck, he might actually be pretty good". Two other kids heard that, and started to call me racist, eventually telling everybody I called him a "black cherry" (?), "n-----", and a host of other names that I definitely didn't say or even know. I later narrowly missed getting beat up (I was on the ground and the guy had straddled me). Apparently everyone went around saying I called others names such as "fishhead" (asians) and "border-jumper" (mexicans, which I did say but it was taken out of context; the guy that I said it to later told everyone that I was quoting someone else). Teachers overheard, and I was told I needed to stop telling people that I was conservative and stop making remarks like that (this is after I told them what was going on; they listened to the assholes). In the end, teachers didn't like me, the kids hated me, and I got my first taste of the standard California voter. I even have a few remarks in my yearbook(s) pertaining to the fact that I made racist comments (which I didn't). This went on for the better part of two years. Has to be one of the worst experiences of my life so far, all because the staff didn't stop it when it started.

Grade 8: One of the teachers that listened to everyone that said I was "racist" instantly hated me. She disrespected and humiliated me in front of my class and kept me from leaving these guys for a better high school (worst recommendation letter ever). After disrespecting my mother in front of me, my family went t the principal (who was a nice guy, by the way), and he said he's had a dozen complaints from kids, families, and teachers, but it would take two to three years to fire her, and cost my family a lot of time and the district a lot of money (tenure and unions).

Grade 10: The year before I had my classes changed to teachers and classes I didn't like. I asked them not to do it again, and lo and behold, they do it, and wonder why I don't like the teacher, the class (all a year or two older and not very smart), and why I failed a semester (which a lot of it was my fault, being a teenager and all).

Go US Educational system!

what i didnt say is that she was saying how blacks are superior, and how whites are stupid, and obviously i wanted to defend my race, now obviously I could be blamed partly, but to forget everything that she did was bullshit
If you doubt my story then your a moron

When blacks talk smack about whites, who cares
but when whites talk smack about blacks
oh god hes a racist fascist communist dictator

[Nadkor]

Well, I'm a moron.

I got beaten up at school because I was white (Africa, go figure), and because my dad was a nazi.

I knew so many people who had parents and grandparents on the side of Germany in WWII.
Same thing happened to them

More you say?
I would love to hear more (seriously)

[Hathradic States]

My 8th grade teacher didn't like being proven wrong, so naturally I went and did such at any opportunity that arrived. I got the worst of it when I proved her wrong on submarines pre-WWI by showing her (and the entire class) documents on the C.S.S. Hunley and the Turtle. That landed me with a month of after school detention.

What was her reason?

[Corporations ons]

Linking ALL the computers in the school division to one central network. Not only is everything slower, but if there is one problem at a school it affects all the schools. *grumbles*

oh no your school is gona be atacked by Clylons!!!
"dramatic music"

I'm pretty sure I never learned about the Turtle or Hunley in history class. Not that it mattered, I could pretty much teach every history class I ever had, plus point out the mistakes in the history textbooks.

I learned about both of them when the History Channel was still good.

[Morturaria]

The list I could come up with would be extremely long. But I would have to
say the lamest thing was that even though my bf at the time earned a 1.5 grade
average (Freshman and Sophmore year) he not only didn't have to go to summer
school but also got put into the AP classes

That was my dad's opinion. And the principals.

The stupidest thing they've done is let me in

[Wisconsin9]

What a bitch.

My middle school principle didn't give half a shit about what went on. He pretty much just let the assistant principle handle everything.
