[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a longtime PE teacher and coach, I’ve dealt with tons of kids. I don’t know how to put this, but your kid is bringing it on herself.

I mean, sticking her butt out when she walks as a half-black kid in a 22207 school? Who does that? That’s just asking for 4th and 5th grade girls to mock you. It’s like the gay guy who tried to wear a Speedo into a Vegas dayclub. “Legally” you have the right to swim and dance, but that’s not going to help you when Security comes and kicks you out. Then what’s your damages? You had to swim at the Residence Inn pool and get a beer at the gay bar?

In my Master’s program in school administration, we talked all about how in practice different kids have to get different treatment if the school’s going to run smoothly. Nobody can write this officially in a book, but the “rules” exist so that you have tools to deal with emerging criminals. But if you’re a prominent part of the school, be it through volunteering at school or heavy cash donations to the PTA, I’m cutting your kid a lot of slack. However, if you’re an unathletic FARMs kid, then I’m taking a risk standing up for you against kids I know have parents who can get my boss’s attention.

Don’t be difficult. Tell your kid to start fitting in, and look for some other kid these girls can target. The girls are actually doing everyone a favor, helping weird kids fit in so that they’re not too weird to get jobs after graduation.[/quote]
