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:
What do you think would happen if some kid tryed to pay with Susan B. Anthony Gold Coin Dollar we use to get from the post office
LOL!
I noticed about 10 years ago that the new teachers were working on the roughly the level of what I remember being about an average high school freshman. I suppose by now most school staff rooms have become emotionally charged centers of borderline-retardation.
I sure as Hell I wouldn’t want my child going to this school since no one even knows there is a $2 bill. Common Core has struck again!!
Education at work. I might not be a college graduate but I do know what American currency is.
And is a school
