Yeah, and if that jump rope is one of those leather ones, then you’re dealing with something like a whip.

Now I’m worried everyone will think that hockey stick spankings are just a thing that we do up here. FEAR NOT. It’s mainly just these assholes. Doing what Jesus would do. I assume because they say they are Christian.

This is the only comment necessary. They were convicted of assault because they didn’t spank her, they assaulted her. If they had just spanked her, she wouldn’t have shown up at school the next day with bruises and fucking cuts.

“Assault” is the correct term for hitting someone with a fucking hockey stick.

stop.

Yeah, that sounds more like a beating.

This might make you feel better for a few seconds. Wish I’d been there last night. (I live in Ann Arbor, just a few blocks from Dick Snyder’s condo.)

My half brother is a lot younger so I sit back and watch my dad and stepmom navigate the social lives of kids who still require booster seats and die on the inside. It’s...awful, really. My brother doesn’t get invited to his friends’ houses unless my stepmom is friends with the moms...like, who gives a fuck? My dad…

Most of my students are delightful human beings and I really enjoy being around them. But their parents-nothing will make me want to quit more quickly than having to deal with parents. Some of them are the worst. The worst.

That’s reason 628. why I don’t want kids though... having to deal with the parents of their friends and classmates.

I don’t understand anything about this story. The woman running the preschool sounds insane, but who throws a cocktail party to calm down fellow parents about firings at your kids’ preschool? That seems like an unusual level of involvement with your kids’ school.

This story made me feel drunk. But not fun drunk. Confused drunk.

i think this is more why kids dont want adults...

this doesn’t seem like a good environment for children to be in...

Every time I see something about this story I get all excited for something juicy to read, but my eyes always end up glazed over halfway through.

Those are the worst bosses: someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing trying to keep outsiders from finding out how unqualified they is.

That chick:

I honestly cannot understand why a Good Cop would ever need to unholster their gun on a suspect who doesn’t *gasp* also have a gun
