An entire nation of fat, incompetent, excuse-for-everything, sissies. THIS is what we are, and will be, reaping. I guarantee if the schools put the most recent edition of "Gears of War" on video in the classrooms, students would sit all day.
ReplyDeleteReally???? This is so stupid! So if my job doesn't have AC do i get to go home with pay?? Is this a parent driven idea? Because i can guarantee that there is not one person in this area who has a kid that is that special.
ReplyDeletealso, what if the parent does not have AC? Does that mean that their children should be taken away? It hasn't been that long since a time when NO PLACE had air conditioning. Somehow the human race managed to survive. Man this just annoys the piss outta me!
ReplyDelete3:04 and 3:05 - I soooo agree with the both of you!!!! What a joke!! I actually feel sorry for those kids - because they will never be able to handle the REAL WORLD!!! Those will be the ones who will live with their parents for the rest of their lives - cause their parents or parent baby them too much!!!! I don't know how I lived - I had to clean my room, put groceries away, wash dishes, vacuum, and if we didn't do what my mother told us to do - then we had to deal with Dad and we didn't want to do that!!! LOL!!! All he had to do was look at us with "That look" and we moved - no questions and definitely no back talk!!! I now use that look and our kids know I mean business!!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Kansas as a grade schooler and schools didn't have A/C. Believe me there were long lines and the non cooled drinking fountains after recess but the temps didn't bother us.
ReplyDeleteJust go down to Bennett Middle and watch the steady stream of parents taking their poor darlings out of school for the day. The kids call home and say jump, mom and dad say, "how hi."
ReplyDeleteFunny how schools with broken air conditioning (several) are not on the list.
ReplyDeleteDON'T THE SCHOOLS HAVE WINDOWS THAT CAN BE OPENED AND ALSO HAVE THE OLD FASHIONED FANS FOR COOLING AIR MOVEMENT ?
ReplyDeleteI attended a private school in a Baltimore suburb that didn't have AC. I clearly remember sitting there without the lights on, the windows open and the teachers taking us to the water fountain through out the day when it was hot. If the sun was shining in the room the teachers would pull the blinds almost all the way down and also only leave the window open a little bit.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll admit I was spoiled and privledged and we had central AC in our home in the 50's before most people but my parents would never have dreamed of taking us out of school for something so silly.
In light of the recent poll that showed public schools the least effective means of educating our youth, coupled with this new information, why don't parents take their children out of school entirely and home school them, in their air conditioned homes?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad our soldiers don't get to go home if the temp gets over 85. Hell, that would seem like a nice cool spring day to them since it's usually what, 115 degrees over in the middle east?
I went to school in Mardela and that's about as low as one can get around here. We didn't have a/c until they built the new building. The other two and the gym was sans a/c.
We didn't like it but we survived. We even survived the low level of academia that was taught there. How well is anybody's guess.
Remember that song by Will Smith, "Parents just don't understand"? I think things have reversed to the kids just don't understand.
