IMO: Tales of the F-List

Apparently posting the grades of students is a violation of their privacy?



They wonder why the education system is failing. Y'know I recall back in middle school their was an honor roll list and if you had a grade point average of 2.75 & above you would get put on that list. I also recall that if we were not on that list we could not go to the dance. Now we were no dummies, if we did not see your name on the list we knew you were failing - or barely a "C" average student. The situation in the video is basically the same thing. Of course, the difference being that the failing students are listed; But the other major difference is that AT LEAST theses students know ahead of time and can improve their grades, in order to attend the dance.

If posting the failing students is a violation of right, isn't posting the honor students a violation too?

I mean, Mr. 4.0 every semester is the school geek and gets ridiculed for that just like the school dummy would be ridiculed. I know the jury is still out on the "-20% LOSER grade" but this is a whole new ball game. If you are humiliated by being on that list then you DO still have time to improve your grade. I could see reason to be a worried parent if it was posted that your child FAILED a semester but this list merely stated they are on the failing path.

I can not believe this is even national news. I commend Principal Dave Schoepke, he is giving the students time to improve in order to receive the incentive of the school dance. He is being proactive and not just letting the chips fall were they lay. This parent, who obviously is not involved in their child learning, is complaining because they failed as a parent. Imjussayin, if my child came to me crying because they were on the "F-list" I'd say, "then get an 'A', hell get a 'D' & then you will not be on that list". If my child was failing I would not call CNN, I'd call Sylvan Learnig Center, or a tutor, or someone who could improve the grade and help the child. It seems that our society never gets past pacifying.

How can you be more concerned about your child being humiliated, or their popularity, over the FACT they they are obviously failing and suck in school?

But hey that's just my opinion....

I recommend that parent playing this song for his child...

IMO: 3 yr old left at Birthday Party

This was the 3 yr old boy's Birthday Party by the way.



What went wrong here?

Based on this statement,

“The mother had apparently called the father Sunday and asked if he had the 3-year-old. He said, ‘I don't have him.' She calls the grandmother and she said she didn't have him. She does nothing.”

Here's what I'm thinking...

The parents, who are not together, each told the other one to take the lil boy cuz they both had other plans for that night. The mother probably was like, "nah this nigga takin his baby this weekend" and just left, thinking that would force the dad to take him. The lil boy was like, "Mommy said I'm going with you daddy". The father no doubt had his other woman with him and said, "not this weekend son wait for your mom" - not knowing she already tipped out. I'm going to go on a limb in thinking the mother is probably notorious for trying to leave the lil boy with someone - I mean, she did wait like 2 days before calling the police. The father should have just taken the boy with him, he knows the mother ain't shit. Then again, he didn't take the lil boy either so he ain't shit either.

But hey that just my opinion....


On another note, how didn't any of the other parents notice?
