re: Child punished for addressing teacher as ma'am

quote:

---

based on what we know, the kid did nothing wrong

---

What we know is that the child was instructed by the authority figure to not do something and he continued to do it. The authority figure than exercised her authority.

quote:

---

Look at this pussy was snowflake melting right here. Look you don't get to determine if someone likes to be called ma'am or sir. The teacher warned him and he didn't listen. End of story.

---

Keep melting bitch

Do you have kids?

---

Yes, although they are grown now. I have school-aged grandkids at present.

quote:

---

I guarantee every other teacher he has ever had has wanted him to refer to them as ma'am. That kind of behavior is then reinforced at home.

---

Life is about adapting.

quote:

---

Do you truly expect a child to be able to immediately go against that life long training because one silly teacher with obvious self esteem issue demands that he do so? The kid's ten years old.

---

Maybe, maybe not. It's not like the punishment was severe. And it IS likely he will remember not to do it in the future.

I view a big part of school (and sports) as learning to submit to authority figures outside the home. Part of that lesson is that authority is not always exactly fair or exercised according to your own worldview. Yet, you do have to learn to submit to it. (Even Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates pay taxes - they submit to the US government.)

Then this dumb women not only punishes the child, for doing something he has been taught to do since he could speak -something that most rational people would see as teaching your kids respect

---

Most rational people think yes maam and no sir is antiquated BS. The problem you have is not one of principle but one of agreement.

but she also threatens to throw something at him.

Clearly joking.

quote:

I know you're a big lib, and so is TJ, but you assholes really don't have a leg to stand on when your kind gets called out in threads like this.

---

I find it hilarious that all the usual "law n order" people all of a sudden believe in civil disobedience when they don't agree with the offense and/or punishment. Like I said - you don't actually have any principle you are standing on. Rather, you just like to see shite go your own way according your own beliefs, and when it doesn't, you start flinging poo and making excuses.

What's funnier is when you libs get all authoritarian when your hotbed of progressivism, mainly education, gets called put for their bullshite. But whatevs. The kid was moved put of this idiot teachr's class, so he doesn't have to worry about referring to her by the wrong gender anymore.

---

Yes or no: the teach is the authority in the classroom?

quote:

---

You don't consider respect a principle, which isn't really surprising.

---

I do. The child did not respect the teacher. Therefore, the child was punished. This is an age-old formula. I'm the conservative here. You're the hippie who wants anarchy - 10 year olds disobeying teachers whenever they want.

quote:

---

Yes or no: did you teach your children to blindly follow any and every authority figure?

---

I taught them to respectfully question authority (although when they were 10, it was mostly "do what the teacher says".)

quote:

---

Stop being so dense. The kid did not disrespect the teacher; he was showing her respect in the way that he was taught.

---

The 1st time. After he was asked to stop, he persisted. He got punished. I don't see what's so hard about this.

quote:

---

You're working under the assumption that I'm a conservative. Not surprising, considering the black/white us vs them worldview you appear to have.

---

You're the one who called me a "lib".

quote:

---

The 1st time. After he was asked to stop, he persisted

---

This is actually a good point. Did he persist? He likely said it put of habit, and this stupid lady took it too far. Neither of us really knows. But, on the surface, it's a bad look for her.

quote:

---

You're the one who called me a "lib".

---

Aren't you?

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

quote:

---

Took it too far? The kid wrote lines, for Jeebus' sake!

---

She did say that she would have thrown something at him if she had something in her hand.

Seems a little over the top for something so insignificant.

quote:

---

What was "taking it too far" was it making the news. I am still agape that we know about this.

---

Agreed. Same with that stupidity about weaves at some school in LA.

quote:

---

Most rational people think yes maam and no sir is antiquated BS.

I would imagine that your condescending nature only amplifies the disdain that most rational people have towards your posts. Honestly, to me at least, it totally justifies the stream of down votes that follow your "opinions".

The left must be suffocated.
