How's Your Day? Archives

Johnny hit me once in 2nd grade, he hadda go see a doctor to have his ass pulled down from behind his belly button, I couldn't sit down for 2 days cuz my dad whooped my ass. Yes, it was worth it!

 

Very true but Dom is Italian and Lebanese thus making him Klinger the Italian Stallion.

 

nahh that makes him a leblian stallion....


And I stand corrected the single ring is indeed a 1909.. thank for the heads up on where the S/.N is Dave. I love knowing for sure.,.,,

 

That is how it goes., You weight the known consequences then make your decision., I carried more then a few butt whipping but always knew it was going to happen before hand.

 

I do that too

you are completely correct, parenting is the answer
the same is still true with what I brought out previously, it's not the school's responsibility to raise the kids (although the government is moving closer to that reality)
Most of the student's success is going to depend on the reinforcement it gets at home.
however, despite this, the school's should be focused on educating and teaching, not preparing kids for an insignificant, useless test

I would slightly disagree, I still hold it's the parent's job to do the teaching, the school's to reinforce and educate. That doesn't exactly paint the right picture I'm trying to convey, but you get the idea.
The parents' should (are, in my book) responsible for their child/ren, what they learn, etc. The school should take that deeper, with a curriculum that helps them get a broad spectrum of info. When parents leave everything to the school, problems are created. Not bragging, it was nothing of uber-special parenting, just simple spending time with them, but both my kids were reading, knew the Alphabet, could write (for their age, anyway, but still nearly as good as me ), and could count to 1,000 before ever getting into a classroom.
Standardized testing/teaching environments:
-frustrate students that already have all this knowledge and skills, by slowing down what they can achieve in the classroom
-frustrate students who are never going to effectively learn what is expected on these tests...that's not a "dumb kid" remark, just reality. These kids are probably common sense smart and will be highly effective and productive members of society, until we tell them they're dumb because that can't pass a test that, outside of public school, nobody even cares to wipe their nose with.

 

hey, there's no reason to attack someone's preferen....oh, wait, nevermind

 

Yeah and we knew there'd be consequences for the things we did. Now it goes like this: The school board is afraid of the voters, principal is afraid of the school board, teachers are afraid of the principal, and the kids aren't afraid of anything.

 

it's ok Jim, I get where you are coming from. Parenting is a tough job no matter how you look at it.

 

well the kid across the street that shot paintballs at my front steps and denied it is going to be real afraid when i come after him with damascus brass knuckles the day he turns 18. little bastard pissed me off beyond belief.


:mad::mad:

 

Now if that woulda been me that did it, my parents would have whooped my ass twice. 1 for doing it and 1 for lying. Then I'd have been doing some cleaning and any other jobs you and my parents agreed I should do to pay up for making a mess on your property. I remember doing something bad once and then telling my parents "the devil made me do it" They told me to have the devil come and help me clean the chickenhouse as punishment.

PS: MsB was a lil chit.

 

oh, and when i went to talk to his parents, the kid called me a druggie.

i almost beat his ass right then and there.

 

I figured someone would catch that

Broke knee caps for the 18 Bday Present are on order.

Ok got to shoot over to the water dept and cuss at them for a while.,.,. hope y'all got the bail ready I gave advanced notice...

then going to get my hour walking in for the day.. back later my friends

 

It's a different world now, Dave.

 

Just got back from errands. Dollar tree to pick up blue skin bracer....stuff smells better than green....kind of drakkar'y in a way. Cheap but still nice. Got a 20 pds of london broil for jerky. B-day shopping for GF. I am not over being sick b/c I am exhausted and about to pass out. I didnt realize its an act of congress to buy Sudafed now? The imitation crap doesnt work so I had to get ol faithful. Beautiful day outside but I am heading back to bed.

 

Bail?
Yeah, we've got the bail, right Dom?
(you brought the sack, right? and didn't feed it last night, right?)

 

Adds 2 chuckie cheese tokens and the rest of the lemony-limey shave cream to the "Bail out The Bunny" fund.

 

yeah, basically anymore you just have to verbally confess to be a drug dealer to get your meds, since you're already treated like one :mad:

 

I heard a rumor that C&E was discontinuing the Sandalwood scented shave line. Anyone heard anything about it?

 

We have to give them a driver's license here to get cold medication!

 

I read that and the only thing I could think was "they make damascus brass knuckles? Are they really *brass* knuckles then?" Sorry about the paintballs. I won't do it again.
