I just wish schools were better integrated into our communities. I don't know the percentage of kids who actually LIKE school, but it seems that parents sure as hell find it a pain in the ass to ever have to deal with their kids' school in any meaningful way. We pay for public schools, we should probably be more…
That is just unbelievable. To throw out food in front of a hungry child? What kind of monster would do something like that??? They treat prisoners better than that! This is making me sick. And who reported this kind-hearted woman? Some sicko gunning for employee of the month? I’m just heartbroken imagining the…
But in this case, a meal was already prepared, and thrown away. Now granted, we might night know all the answers; were the parents informed/ How much were they in arrears? Still, the waste and the humiliation just infuriates me.
Literally throwing away good food in a way that intentionally shames children is completely unreasonable.
How was trashing the meal going to save anyone money though? There’s no excuse for that.
Throwing away the meal in front of the child? What a tremendous idea. Nothing motivates and nurtures a child like humiliation and hunger.
thus improving the life of the child.
I know, for some reason I see a hungry child unable to afford lunch as a problem in need of a solution instead of an opportunity for punishment. It’s weird.
So, here’s a crazy idea: when a kid reaches a certain amount of lunch debt, a social worker or school administrator reaches out to the kid’s family to try to find out why: is the kid going to school with lunch money every day and getting it taken on the way to school? Are they just spending it on chips in the morning?…
No one voted because they thought Jack Conway was a shoo-in. This guy was considered a joke on the level of Donald Trump. Think about that when it comes time for the Presidential election and actually freaking vote if you can.
Dear citizens of Kentucky,
There was a story in NPR about the election of this dude and how he was going to (or did) end the ACA Medicare expansion enacted by the previous governor.
There’s a French version (Le meilleur pâtissier) of the Great British Bake Off and it’s AWFUL. Like they turned a delightful, lovely show into a pompous, pretentious one with horrible judges and boring contestants who are all men.
I’ve been describing this show as the most British show to have ever Britished. Even the description of what the competitors do in their spare time is just amazing - like the one who builds TINY HOMES FOR HEDGEHOGS WITH HIS DAUGHTERS. My bf could not stop making fun of me...until he sat down for one episode and then I…
we’re wairk-ing very hard on perfecting our Paul Hollywood impressions!
It’s the fact that Mary never means them to be rude. She’s such a lady but cut to Mel and Sue smirking like kids. That show is magic.
I just spent like 5 minuted contemplating how best to transcribe Paul’s Liverpudlian accent saying “overworked.”
And giant squirrel balls, we love giant squirrel balls.
