The Wow I Can't Believe That News Story Thread

**Scarlett O'Hara** · 06-01-2014, 10:16 PM

I've never cheated on a test but I have had teachers explode at me and throw me out of the classroom for talking. I did purposely wind a science teacher up so I could see her vein pulsating in her head while me and my friend threw little bits of paper at each other. I was a little ****. But in this case I do agree that it was unnecessary to berate her for it. How do we know she was cheating? She might have been texting a friend?

I am not saying she shouldn't have punished her for cheating but she didn't have to act the way she did. I guess you are used room teachers pulling BS stunts like that in your country.

Fair enough tbh.

I think the fact she said sorry and not 'I wasn't cheating' gave the game away a bit.
Plus she was on her phone which isn't allowed so that's basically cheating in itself.

And you're used to living in a country where the teachers are basically helpless and the students are allowed to do pretty much whatever they want? I've been to public school, where discipline was a joke, and I've been to military school, where the teachers were allowed to curse at us and pretty much just short of hit us (a bit of hyperbole, but you get my drift), and the difference was obvious. Yeah, there were smaller class sizes in military school, but it was still a school of serious delinquents who didn't **** around in class. And we weren't terrorized either. We were fine. I'm not saying teachers should be able to hit the kids, but little Jimmy isn't a glass vase. He can take it. Quit being a bunch of pussies.

This student sounded like a basket case with or without this teacher, so to blame her for a girl who was almost an adult killing herself is bull****.

And this article is bull****. It makes sure to call the girl "bright" and "promising" ever time she's mentioned and make the teacher look like a raving harpy. And that the girl "peeked" at her cell phone. If she'd just "peeked" at it I'm sure she wouldn't have apologized when being accused of cheating. Misleading garbage.

Canadian Kinder Surprise smuggling ring broken up by US officials | This is That with Pat Kelly and Peter Oldring | CBC Radio

Like WTF. I think it's pretty hilarious that Kinder Surprise eggs are banned in the US because the toys are choking hazards, and yet I hear about people getting guns for their 5 year olds. 'Murica.

Wow i just saw the pics of an old story i heard about FB i thought was a lie but it's actually true.

Awhile ago i heard some girl posted some pics blowing smoke from a Blunt to her baby which oddly enough wasn't my first time hearing that sort of thing but it wasn't until today i actually saw the picture

Spoiler for Parenting FAIL:

I may have a heartless misogynist rep around here but i have a 4 old daughter who i luv with all my heart and want to raise right and seeing this baby suffer through this makes me wanna seriously harm that woman.

How can she do that to her own son?

This is the kind of stoner behavior that makes other stoners look bad,
i smoke weed BUT I HAVE NEVER even for a single second thought of doing something like this to her much less post it proudly on FB

but that's not my real problem, my real problem is with the parenting issue

I can't stand child abuse, abusing children's trust is about the most evil thing i can think off, not so long ago there was also a story about a guy who killed his baby son over some Xbox games that also annoyed the f*ck outta me, WHY???

Why do that? again, im a gamer too and i would never do this!
As a kid you don't get to choose your parents, you can't defend yourself from their harm. your life and your future is in their hands and to see some parents abuse that in such perverse ways is honestly heartbreaking.

i mean, even when i was single and without a kid child abused really bothered me, but now as a parent IT REALLY bothers me, more so if the parent shows no remorse or didn't learn from his mistakes..

(srry for the double post but i have a cap limit and had alot to say on the subject)
