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:

A school?!?!?! Aren’t these the people who are supposed to be educating our children?

Had a school teacher work for me in a store for awhile . !/2 way to her degree in math in Colorado. The girl could not count change . Cash register went down one day. I got antique push key register out till I could get new one . She had to take the day off.
Duh!
How stupid, it is probably the last dime the family had to pay for this child’s lunch
I know that school has a proud staff….for calling the police about a student paying with real legal tender.
Ignorant! Texas has some very ignorant school employees.
