She told the councilor that she was a Buckeye and that the Sooners stink and would not cheer for them. I guess it got to be quite a thing since a bunch of the councilors were Oklahoma State students and really rubbed it in to the Sooners. I guess they tried to bribe her with ice cream and everything but she refused. She said if she cheared for the sooners it would be a lie and she was having no part of it. I'm so proud right now I could burst. |
This brings a tear to my eye. I'm so proud of you both.

........ riiightt. Education at that level is about developing into a mature human; none of my teachers taught me that I was getting this education to service the economy. There is no problem with having a little bit of fun like that with your students. Your post is nothing but a bunch of opinonated bull[censored]. You are providing no factual insight to support your claim that these actions(which are probably being exaggerated in the first place) by this teacher are hurting the development of her students.
Claiming that our economy depends on whether or not some little kid got an extra gold star for wearing something scarlet and gray?..... I just don't see how that is interferring with any kind of development other than who they cheer for in sports. I bet most kids say, screw off, I like the Longhorns or Sooners or maybe an aggy or two.
Where do you teach so I can steer my future kids away?

Did you read the whole post? Slowly? With a dictionary? Maybe Steve would be kind enough to post a "dumbed down" version of it so the first paragraph wouldn't scare you away from reading the following paragraphs.
Your daughter is welcome at BP anytime KSB.

I guess he probably now knows that the post was satirical and has got my point by now that the only thing worth teaching kids IS Buckeye history and the Ohio State fight song  .
KSB and Best Buckeye's stories had me laughing out loud. It's what we do to our kids. It's our culture!

I'm not at liberty to reveal his location, but let me just say, if your kids ever decide to take their learnin' overseas, check with me first... I may have some important intel for you to consider... Of course, Steve may have moved by then.... Indeed, he may have moved to your neighborhood by now...
