Not to mention the fact that Mrs. White isn’t qualified to teach.
She should be required to take a remedial English course.
“I have went”? please. It’s “I have gone”, Mrs. White.
first, my kid would not sign anything without me seeing it first. 2nd, upon seeing it i would be at the superintendant’s office the next morning.
then we would speak to the teacher.
black folk gotta nip it in the bud.
Dont let your children be controlled like this. I remember back when I was in school my mom always told me “if you really need to use the bathroom or attend to an emergency and the teacher won’t let you, then just leave the classroom and I’ll deal with teacher and principle”
Mom had my back
If I was this kid I would use up those passes and then just fuckin’ throw up or get a severe nosebleed in the classroom and then refuse to leave because “sorry, I can’t go to the nurse, I already used up my two passes for the fucking MONTH”
There was a student at my high school, who we will call John Doe, who actually did that. When teachers gave him a limited number of bathroom allowances (usually 3 per semester, which was the standard at my school), he would use them in the first week, and then induce vomitting my eating rotten food he found around the school garbage cans. If teachers refused to let him go, he would just throw up on something they had to touch. Light switches, keyboards, whatever was available.
Instead of making admin do anything about this toxic policy, they just doubled down harder, to the extent that one girl politely informed a teacher that she felt like she might be about to have a seizure and could she go to the nurse, please. She was denied, sat back down at her desk, and promptly passed out and concussed herself on the concrete floor when she fell.
Another girl had severe vertigo-induced fainting, could not get a teacher to excuse her from a phys ed class, and fell off a monkey bars and split her head open, and nearly lost an eye because her glasses broke when she landed.
A student with, I believe, diabetes had a severe blood sugar drop and tried to eat a candy bar in a class with a “no food or drinks” rule. The candy bar was taken away, and she had to be taken out by EMTs.
This kind of human rights abuse in public schools is not new. I graduated a full decade ago.
I’m glad it’s being publically discussed again, (briefly around 2003-2005 this was also a popular subject of discussion). I hope that this time, concrete changes in policy are actually affected.
what about this is heterosexual, exactly? who looks at their totally-platonic-bff-slash-soulmate like that? all i’m seeing is a “i’m undressing you with my eyes” look at the very least, but it def feels more like The most “i’m gonna fuck u senseless the moment we’re alone” look
Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten.
REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit
my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies
Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll lose their cubs.
So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly – not spazz themselves into miscarrying.
So what’d they do? They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs!
The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!
Not to take away from the goodness of all the doogos out there de-stressing cheetahs; because that is the wholesome content I’m looking for. But another fun fact is cheetahs aren’t technically great cats, because they can’t roar. They are classified as lesser cats, like your common house or barn cat. They also purr and squeak like a little domestic cat would do ^^
I wish I knew the exact time and date that harry told snape ‘there’s no need to call me sir professor’ so that I could take a moment of silence to remember the moment each year
Judging from the context of the chapter…
We know that it’s September 2nd. I’d put it between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. (They have breakfast and then a free period. They have Snape’s class before their break, which was before their lunch.)
But in the UK first period typically only starts at 9 AM. So free period from around 9-10 AM and Snapes class from 10-11 AM I’d say.
Okay so 10am-11am every September 2nd is now an hour dedicated to remembering the most glorious piece of dialogue ever spoken by a fictional character
ok this just appeared on my blog with ample time for you all to prepare because apparently I stumbled across it months ago, and scheduled it to post on september first. executive function TRIUMPH!!!!!!!
Worth noting that tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of the greatest burn in history
I get the concept of embracing ugliness but I think in practice it’s a terrible idea
like it doesn’t subvert the beauty standards that already tell you, you are. it still forces a label on you. you’re either pretty or you’re ugly. like I don’t wanna be either of those things. I just want to be allowed to exist.
and like telling 15 year olds to accept and embrace that theyre ugly instead of educating them that the reason they think that is not because they are, But because of the artificial standards created subliminally and explicitly by movies, makeup companies, and magazines
and especially for young woc, like so many young girls think they’re ugly because they don’t have pale skin, they’re not skinny, they have big brows, big noses, strong features, etc
To tell them “yeah you Are ugly, embrace that” is 😬 like instead of undermining those standards and just letting them Live without feeling like they need to change, it reinforces them
Ryan McCartan, most well known for his roles in Heathers, Liv & Maddie, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again. has recently been cast in Wicked. He will be making his Broadway debut as Fiyero.
Last time a known abuser was on Broadway (James Barbour, Phantom of the Opera), he lasted there for four years. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen again. Here’s what you need to know:
“But he’s talented!” Okay? And? Bill Cosby was considered talented. Harvey Weinstein. TJ Miller. Louis CK. Woody Allen. Talent, regardless of whether or not it’s there, doesn’t excuse abuse.
There’s a Twitter hashtag #NoOneMournsMcCartan being used to try to inform Wicked that we don’t want him. Before you think “Hashtags can’t cost Broadway performers their jobs!”, please consider “MakeRoomForOak”, Mandy Patinkin stepping down from Great Comet, and how that turned out. Tweet with it. Complain. Tag Wicked and their casting agency, Tesley+Company.
