[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kids school called and said that your child called another child ‘piggy’, ‘ugly’ or a ‘r*****’, would they be in trouble with you or no?

I’m going to say zero back, this is just actually the thing that most baffles me about trump voters [/quote]

Do you have teens? Piggy and ugly wouldn’t even register at school as being an issue. The language is terrible.[/quote]

Teacher here. You are absolutely wrong about that. Any student would face consequences for saying those words to a classmate or staff member. The equivalent incident in a school setting wouldn’t even be name-calling between two students who don’t get along. The comparable situation at school would be if a student gave a presentation, and it was followed by a question from a peer that they couldn’t answer. So they just said, “quiet piggy.” Not that it is acceptable in either situation, but it is important to note what this would actually look like in a school setting. Not only would the teacher respond with consequences. The classmates who witnessed it would rush to their defense, and the name-calling kid would be called out by peers and socially ostracized for the foreseeable future. In other words, kids even have higher expectations of each other than the gop has for Trump. [/quote]

You must work in a very nice school setting. I'd love to hear more about the consequences for derogatory remarks you're allowed to give at your school. [/quote]
