Not enough kids are being kicked out. Poor student behavior is completely out of hand. Of course this stems from shitty or no parenting at all. Its an epidemic.

I think we are missing some pieces of the story here. Those incidents don't line up right.

1/23/2014 10:14:21 PM

Of course we are.

It is fucking stupid. Some children NEED to be left behind.

NC patients exposed to rare, fatal brain disease through dirty surgical tools

Quote :

"Reuters and other media outlets reported that 18 brain surgery patients at the Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem, NC, are now at risk of contracting the disease. The reason: Hospital officials acknowledged they didn't sufficiently sterilize the instruments after their use on a patient in mid-January who was subsequently found likely to have Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Quote :

"RALEIGH, N.C. — Of the thousands of snow photos taken in North Carolina on Wednesday, one of the most talked about and shared shots came from a Raleigh woman who captured the chaos on Glenwood Avenue. The photo, which shows a car on fire as vehicles struggle nearby to get up a snow-slicked hill on Glenwood Avenue, quickly spread across the Internet and was featured on several sites, including CNN, The Huffington Post, Gawker, Slate and Reddit. “This morning, I turn on the news, and I’m watching CNN, and my photo came up, and I’m like, 'Oh my gosh!'" said Lindsay Webb, who shot the picture with her iPhone and says the photo is 100 percent authentic. Webb, who works as a stylist at Blo salon at Brier Creek, says she had been in the car for three hours with a stranger who asked for a ride when she took the picture. “As soon as we got on top of the hill, we could see the conditions. So many of the cars were off the road. People were trying to weave their way up the hill, people were getting out and pushing other people’s cars, or just walking around," she said. “People were trying to push it, and the wheels were spinning. Then, smoke started to come from the hood. At first, you’re thinking, 'Well, that car’s not going anywhere.' But then the hood lit up, and it was no time before that car was on fire,” she added. About that time, Webb says, her boss contacted her to see if she made it home safely. “I said, 'No, I’m sitting in front of Angus Barn, and a car just blew up in front of me.' And then I sent him the picture,'" she said. Her boss then shared the photo, and it took off in ways Webb never expected. She has since received calls from a news outlet in Berlin, Germany, that wanted to know if she shot any video of the scene. “In the moment, you’re not thinking about newsworthy. You’re just, 'What in the world?'" she said. Webb says she doesn't know the identity of the woman on the phone in the foreground in the picture. And for those who doubt the authenticity of her picture, she says it's real. "I didn’t Photoshop any of it," she said. "I was there. I took it with my iPhone.""

"North Carolina school officials are telling a 9-year-old North Carolina who has been bullied for bringing a My Little Pony lunch bag to school to leave the bag at home. Grayson Bruce and his mother say he is being shoved around by school bullies who think his favorite bag is for girls. "They're taking it a little too far, with punching me, pushing me down, calling me horrible names, stuff that really shouldn't happen," Bruce told WLOS News13, an ABC affiliate in Asheville, N.C. "Most of the characters in the show are girls, and most of the people put it toward girls, most of the toys are girlie." But Noreen told the station Thursday the school asked her son to leave the bag at home because it had become a distraction and was a "trigger for bullying." She said that doesn't make sense and wants the school to punish Grayson's tormentors. "It's promoting friendship, there's no bad words, there's no violence, it's hard to find that, even in cartoons now," she said. Grayson has developed a following on Facebook after a friend made a support page for him. Buncombe County Schools gave WLOS a statement that said: "An initial step was taken to immediately address a situation that had created a disruption in the classroom. Buncombe County Schools takes bullying very seriously, and we will continue to take steps to resolve this issue." The My Little Pony Cartoon is a decades-old kids show that uses pony characters to emphasize the bonds of friendship. Grayson is now using a different backpack."

WOW - I can't believe that story has gotten so far... especially since that's the HS from which I graduated.

6/23/2014 9:03:45 AM

I think the reason it has spread so far is the consensus is the teacher was an ignorant asshole.

If you look at pictures of the dress it is not inappropriate in the least.

7/1/2014 11:33:51 PM

Plenty of girls and women can hide pregnancies.

But some parents/people are also amazing at denial.

I would hope she was aware of the pregnancy, although there is a whole TV show based on people not realizing they're pregnant somehow.

7/2/2014 10:32:50 AM

I'm pretty sure it's saying "some friends of his (baby's father)" AND some friends of hers (the baby's mother).
