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 $2 bill.
To read about the ridiculous lengths to which the school district’s police department went in their investigation, and to learn their findings, continue reading on the next page:
Our education system sucks..
Shows that some of the people teaching our children are not qualified. Time for the teachers union to go, no tenured teacher’s
Or a Susan B!
If you ever get the chance, ask one what is the square root of four and watch their reaction.
It just shows the lack of a history education on the teachers part.$#%&!@*can common core and get back to EDUCATION
Daniel Ely Sr. lmfao. Well played sir
Wanna bet? It would not surprise me in the least if this is true.
These ate the people teaching our kids and yet school administration stand behind them 100% right or wrong… Pretty sad they thought this child was forging money….
Liberals lol
This reminds me of when my son was in third grade and he was telling a friend in class that he received a two dollar bill from the tooth fairy. Well, his teacher overheard this and said there is no such thing as a two dollar bill (in a sarcastic tone). This was one of many times this teacher was demeaning to the students in class. Some people should not be teachers, especially when they go out of their way to humiliate their students. Unbelievable!
