I just sent this to my sister. It reminded me of when she got in trouble for disrespecting her 2nd grade teacher. The teacher was young, had just arrived from another state, and early in the fall she told the class that there were no more Native Americans on the East Coast. My sister remembers looked over at her …

you say Danzig, I say ALANIS MORISSETTE

I live for the chance to show the infamous “Glenn Danzig carries cat litter to his car” .jpg

Then don’t. But leave anyone else with at least an ounce of humanity the fuck alone.

help these kids lead long, healthy, fulfilled lives by teaching them the requisite skills to get a decent job. make a decent living, and hopefully stay out of prison

You know teachers and most other professions only get better at their jobs when they’re more receptive of legitimate criticisms right?

Nice dogwhistle on the “prison” too. Like he’s destined for prison just because he’s a smart black child. Like racist, ignorant teachers aren’t a vital part of the school-to-prison pipeline. Like you aren’t the problem yourself.

Conservatives are by nature authoritarian. “Limited government” was never anything more than a smokescreen. They only want government to get out of the way when it benefits them directly (say, in their ability to hoard wealth and power). They absolutely love their big government when it fucks over people they don’t…

You’re taking a lot of liberties in assessing what did and did not happen in this situation. I wonder if she actually did say this and not the perhaps bullshit that you assume she probably said. In my experience, teachers will often treat young students as if they are completely clueless to anything that their lesson…

Ok.

Uncontrolled levels of asshole here.

Congratulations, you’re a garbage human.

I am a teacher (High school math, formerly English and History), and I cannot find this amusing. I remember being 9 and getting mad when a teacher was wrong. Germany isn’t landlocked Mrs. Hampton!

Dear Baby Jesus and Baby Jesus’s Dad,

I am probably 35 years older than this kid and don’t have half of his conviction.

King Johnson, your journal entry is spot-on. Good job.

It is perfectly dismissive without being overly aggressive. He’s like “I said it, I meant it, and I will not apologize. Next.”

I know, right. It carries the weight of “Whatever, bitch,” without the actual cursing.

The “OK” knocked me out. It has to be the the step child of “I said what I said” This child is COMPLETELY unbothered by his teacher. It’s fabulous. And I have been trying to find a way to articulate what my mood for 2018 is and this child found it for me.

Teacher: “King, I am very disappointed in your journal today.”
