Shouldn't this be tagged Florida?

Did they erect signs, or were they just "excited"?

BFD about the teacher saying "Florida got excited."

When I was in middle school, my 8th grade English teacher had a running joke for kids asking to go to the bathroom. He'd offer rubber bands for boys and corks for girls. And this was in the uptight 60s. The adults back then all probably thought it was cute.

Silly reason for firing anyone.

If America had a sex change operation, it would divide Florida and fold it eastward and make it part of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.

My health teacher in 7th grade, who was a Marine in WWII, said if you get a whore use a rubber.

My 9th grade biology teacher taught us how to ask adults to buy beer outside stores.

Damn PC police are taking the real learning out schools.

As someone who grew up in the Shawnee Mission school district, I wouldn't be surprised if he was fired for actually teaching the kids, since making good people out of kids always is interpreted as pissing on the school district's shoes.

Floriduh, America's wang.

Just RTFA, big goddamn deal. It's not like he said anything that teens aren't thinking about all the time. The comraderie that he fostered with that statement makes him a better teacher with students more likely to listen.

The lesson learned is that school boards are petty tyrants who abhor dissent.

Did the same thing in seventh grade when a great eighth grade math teacher was fired. Dude taught me BASIC in three days.

Only thing that happened was I got a three week vacation for insubordination. Teacher was still fired.

Why was he fired? He was fired for growing a beard. Nevermind that half the other male teachers had beards and mustaches, but they put it down to him growing a beard as being against school policy.

Ah well, the staff and school board there were absolutely clueless about anything.

No, I daresay they're just plain old tyrants. Right up there with district court judges and HOA presidents.

You know who else was a tyrant?

Hitler.

How did the school administration even hear about it? These kids need to also kick the ass of their tattle-tale classmate and his/her paranoid parents.

 
Ihaveanevilparrot 2009-11-11 08:46:24 PM  
Gotta protect the precious snowflakes. You can't be mentioning things that naturally happen to the human body.

If they were that sheltered they'd have no clue what he was talking about, and if they do it's nothing they haven't seen before, probably in great detail, or if male already happened on their own body.

The school said the firing was based on several incidents though. I wonder if those incidents were just as retarded as the one mentioned, or something more serious.

That's nothing, in the fifties I lost my ass cherry to my Civics teacher.

just consider it age-appropriate sex education for eighth graders; they should be getting it anyway.

ABQGOD: How did the school administration even hear about it? These kids need to also kick the ass of their tattle-tale classmate and his/her paranoid parents.

That's the other thing I forgot to mention.

Either there are more serious things he did that we don't know about, or there's some idiot in the class that's overly sensitive. Or maybe someone wanted to get him in trouble because he gave them a bad grade or something.

Loving something to death is like when you find a pet, hug it and squeeze it and name it George, and then you kill it.

My class had sex-ed in 6th grade. We learned about erections and everything else, so no way these kids should be that sheltered. The only people in the class surprised at any of the info were some of the girls and I'm sure most/all of the guys had already had hard ons before. The guys didn't wanna hear about menstruation, that's about the only part of the class anyone had an issue with.

Then again, that was a long time ago and with abstinence only education being stressed for 8 yrs, maybe these kids ARE that sheltered (or at least their parents and the administration thinks they should be).

poekr: don't penis and peninsula share etymology?

Alas, no. Peninsula comes from the Latin "paene" (almost) and "insula" (island). Linky to etymology. (new window)
