Son just got in trouble for not answering a teachers question on if we own guns!

[Guest nicemac]

Just another example of the type of crap that drove us to homeschool. A teacher is not supposed to have more influence than a parent.

[E4 No More]

That's because "reasonable" has gone out the window and people only become remotely reasonable anymore if you lawyer up. It's a very sad state of affairs, but hey, this is the way the lawyers designed it through lawmaking (what, you think normal people get elected??)

+1!

Lawyering up may not be the solution, Local schools under control of local school boards, devoid of Federal or State Gov't interference is the solution.

At one time in this country the teacher would have been tarred and feathered and run out of town.

At one time in this country she would have been dismissed on the spot.

Today it's get legal representation to protect your child and you, and to deal with the system.

[JReedEsq]

I do sorta have to laugh.

I am guessing nothing at all came of this student teacher interactiion. Might be wrong but unless I missed it the OP has not updated anything.

And I really laugh at all the "lawyer up" talk. This country's populace uses lawyers now instead of interacting with each other.

I am not sure a lawyer is the solution here.

I agree!

He shouldn't have used damn, he should have used F'n........no I'm just kidding. The story would have been perfect if he didn't use the word, even though, if it were my kid, I would say something like this, you shouldn't have said it, don't do it again, then I would have moved on, on how proud of him I was for standing up for what is not right.

The post said the teacher was badgering the student...I'd have gotten mad too

In general,

If you send your kids to a classical school, you expect them to get a classical education.

If you send your kids to a Catholic school, you expect them to get a Catholic education.

Why do you not expect to get good little (GLBT tolerant, anti-gun) socialists when you send them to the government school?

Yes, some kids (like yours) get good instruction at home, but many, many more will fall prey to the indoctrination center they are sent to every day.

Get your kids out of government schools.

That's a brilliant quote.

EDIT: I meant to quote nicemac here but messed it up, sorry man.

We often refer to schools as "public schools" when really they are "government schools". And nothing that comes from the government surprises me.

I'll throw in my 2 cents here. I for one am glad your son used those exact words. I'm a firm believer in treating others the way they treat you. Give people the benefit of the doubt, be polite, be respectful, and be civil. If they don't return the favor you owe them nothing. Teacher or not.

If I may put my .02, Sounds to me like the teacher was pressuring(bully) him for an answer. I am so glad my daughter is out of school. She is so much like me she would have told her teacher to mind their own business. There are getting to be more and more bad teachers, the school my daughter went to there was a female teacher that was charged with sexual misconduct with several students. This dated back to when my daughter was there. I always told her if you think it is something you don't feel comfortable answering tell them to as your dad he knows everything.lol

I'd be calling my lawyer and the NRA.

[hkgonra]

So have you talked to the teacher yet ?

[DaveTN]

I'd be calling my lawyer and the NRA.

And say what?

+100...Any update?

[Guest WyattEarp]

this thread makes me chuckle. Tobashadow, you did a good job of raising your son, props to you.

What someone does or doesn't have in their possession is none of anyone's damn business, unless it directly affects the safety and well-being of someone.

Teachers are ruining children with the so-called education system in this country. It's no wonder why this country is so far behind the rest of the world academically.

I hope he's not in jail after his school visit!

[Mike.357]

kind of OT but how many times have we all commented on a thread and the OP never comes back to add anything or even acknowledge people took interest and offered advice or insight?

Okay, carry on

3 and a half for me.
