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 $2 bill.
To read about the ridiculous lengths to which the school district’s police department went in their investigation, and to learn their findings, continue reading on the next page:
Really
Damn.
And we pay these teachers too teach ?
I hope the parents have a good lawyer. This school needs to be severely reprimanded, sued, and those involved made to pay for this idiocy!
I am cashless society this doesn’t surprise me at all.
It’s called legal tender, you twit!!!
I would sue the$#%&!@*out of the school district. They are the ones that educate the children. They should be aware of current currency in circulation. And to threaten a minor with arrest over their stupidity. Yepp that’s today’s educational system. And the child didn’t get lunch afterwards. I would have made them order me a damn pizza.
Most of our educators in the public school system are common core and have no common sense just highly over rated opinions of them selves.
This is a joke right? Our educators are not really that stupid . right??
ignorant people running that school dist
