My 12 year old's teacher was teaching diameter and radius to the class using cookies as her example... They are using calculators and my son gets the calculator to read "EAT ME". He walks it up to the teacher, hands it to her and says, "This is what MY cookie is saying right now". (I think he was showing off that he got the calculator to say that), but anyway, I get a call from the principle and the boy gets 2 days detention because she, and I quote, "Took extreme offense".
I think I should take offense that she took offense. By her taking offense means I raised my son to be a blatant, disrespectful, disrupting, moron. Yep... I'm taking offense.
Anyway, when I confronted the principle, they said, "Well, we don't know exactly how it happened... Could be your son had problems in the past, there is really no way of knowing exactly what happened so there is nothing he we do".
I hit a dead end. The boy tries to be cute, creative, and funny and gets 2 days detention because she misunderstood his content.
Anyway, I am thinking of a list when fat=gravity challenged was posted...
and the normal=typically developing came up...
Almost every title is changed cause somebody took offense...
Maid=environmental services
deaf=hearing impaired
murderer=victom of society
colored=black
black=african american
there are so many...
Oh and my other son... I can't call him slow at his school. I hafta say "developmentally delayed". Aren't they kinda the same thing??
