Fr. Jerk Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I vaguely recall a time when people were polite. People used these things called headphones. Nowadays everyone blasts music and video from their phones as if they are the only people walking around in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripple Creek Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 That is one of the more effed up things i have seen from a teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaoulDuke79 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I got detention in high school for using the term asinine. Evidently they gym teacher thought it was profane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Maybe the teacher was a trans sexual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 So, she said stop and he didn't. She must've thought he was pushing her buttons. Does seem like a huge waste of time. Priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Great reporting as usual. I’d like to know why the teacher has an issue with being called ma’am and what she’d prefer to be called. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Must be a NE transplant teacher. When I worked in NC it was odd to hear a child not refer to me as sir. That’s just the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todays LW gender blurring and out of touch mindset consider the singly one as Ma'am or Sir as presumptive and hence, a slur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe @The Poojer can chime in because I know he’s been doing some hikes lately, but the last few that I’ve been out, I’ve come across people that have their music playing, no headphones. Not loud enough to be disturbing, but loud enough I could hear them before I saw them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 That's a crappy little article. It mentions the meeting, and the fact that the mother asked the teacher why she was upset with the use of the word "ma'am" but it doesn't mention her response, which is the only thing interesting about this story. Why did this upset her and how did she interpret the word to be disrespectful? Article doesn't say. North Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
