In many ways, children today are accused of being sheltered little cupcakes who have no idea what it is like to face adversity. Everyone has the grandpa or great-uncle that will tell you how they had to walk five miles to school in the freezing snow — uphill both ways, of course. These pampered little kids today have no idea what it was like.
But children going through school in 2016 also must deal with plenty of unfathomably ridiculous injustices that their parents and grandparents never had to endure. Things such as Common Core math problems, symposiums on white privilege, lectures about microaggressions, the bigotry of “gendered language,” and the confusion over why boys are suddenly allowed in the girls’ restrooms.
So yes, while children today are sheltered from many things, stupidity is not one of them.
Recently, a 13-year-old student at a Houston-area middle school became the subject of a full-scale forgery investigation when she tried to pay for her chicken fingers with a $2 bill.
To read about the ridiculous lengths to which the school district’s police department went in their investigation, and to learn their findings, continue reading on the next page:
Common core doesn’t teach monetary values anymore? Not even to the teachers? Lol
And these people teach our kids.
This demonstrates what our education system IS NOT teaching our kids. They will experiment with children’s minds with all kinds of ways to reach a conclusion on a math problem, with casting out nines, and some other c**p, but never theach the kids that when you add 2 numbers together you can check your answer with subtracting that number. No wonder our kids can’t read and write and do math. We need to go back to basics and teach our kids the correct way of doing things. It does NOT hurt to teach kids to use an old and tried and true method. If it works, DON’T TRY TO FIX IT WITH BS.
These idiots are teaching our young people , no wonder our Ed.is poor
I can’t believe there are people in a school ,who Don’ t know what a two dollar bill is !!!
I have several real ones,with Rudolph on them
That goes to tell you that the teachers teaching don’t know what currency there is in the United States!! And
Proof that having a smart phone is useless for a dumbass.
I still have a few of the $2. bills
How stupid are these so called educators they need to be fired
