[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]SO sick and tired of assholes at these meetings thinking what they have to say is so much more important than what everyone else has to say. You don't like the 2 minute rule? Lobby to change it. Don't be an asshole and challenge the School Board to have you arrested for not following the rules of civil society.

How many meetings have you been to like this?  I haven't seen many.  So, the guy went overtime.  He shouldn't have done that.  But, Arresting him?  Give me a break.[/quote]

You are seeing the arrogance of educators. This is what happens when they forget who pays them[/quote]

So here you are at a meeting. Lots and lots and lots of people want to speak, so there's a two-minute time limit so that everybody gets a chance. Some guy gets up and starts talking. He gets his two minutes. The person running the meeting says that the two minutes are up. The guy won't stop talking. The person running the meeting tells him to stop talking. The guy won't stop talking. The person running the meeting tells him he needs to stop talking now. The guy says that he refuses to stop talking, and the only way they can make him stop talking is to arrest him. So they...what? Let him keep talking? Because he pays taxes? So does everybody else in the room who wants to talk, and can't because the guy won't stop talking.

And what this has to do with Common Core standards, I can't fathom.[/quote]

That's not the only choice. The obvious choice is to escort him out, not to ARREST him. Talking over a time limit is not an offense where someone should be arrested. The fact you can't see that....seriously?

Did you read the passage in the book? The girl is essentially raped, then tells the guy she loves him after he says it first.  Is that the message, you, as an administrator, want to send a 9th grader? This, of course, is in addition to the graphic sexual descriptions. This father had every right to be pissed off about that. And all the board cared about was he went over the two minute rule. Perhaps if the school board showed some concern over the matter, there might have been dialog.[/quote]
