Oh, for X’s sake! This is just absolutely inappropriate!
What does he think this is? Graduate school?
Can’t be too hard on the guy, I guess, considering he’s probably not a racist.

Can’t be too hard on the guy, I guess, considering he’s probably not a racist.
Your conclusion does not follow from your premise, not even probabilistically. Not saying he is, but just that the one thing has nothing to do with the other.
Baked goods. He shoulda asked for baked goods I think. That woman can bake a mean cake I bet, and it coulda been win-win all around. That’s probably not an option now. But the important thing is that the stupid TAKS failure girl is just gonna have to study if she wants a diploma. Either that or she’ll end up really familiar with sitting where her momma was sitting.
This is why I’m hot. This is why I’m hot.
My TAKS score is high. I’m sorry yours is not.
This is why this is why this is why I’m hot.
I don’t gotta front. I’m after that commended score and man I’m on the hunt.
My TAKS score is high. I’m sorry yours is not. Yo.
Why the hostility towards the girl and her mom, hf? I thought the story here was that a guy did a bad thing and got busted for it. What am I missing?
Cause the girl was trying to get out of passing her tests is what that guy was trying to take advantage of. The real news story is that people are trying to get their stupid children into private schools to get around them having to actually learn stuff. This is bad for society, these stupid children. If you can’t pass a TAKS test, you’re not even good enough for prostitution really. At least if you ever had to make change.
I don’t know, feets. Really, if anything, it’s the mom trying to “end run” around the system.
Granted, the kid’s probably stupid–but if you’re a prostitute who has to make change…you should look for different work.
Maybe private school administrator.
The mom didn’t even have the sense not to broadcast to the world that her daughter is a stupid stupid girl though. Thanks, mom.
Nevermind. I’m probably missing the intended irony, or something.
if you’re a prostitute who has to make change…you should look for different work.
Heh.
Putting your stupid daughter into private school just so she can get a diploma without having to show she’s learned anything is bad. Very very bad. This is how children get left behind, and it was my understanding we weren’t doing that no more.
This guy is an idiot.
I would have gone straight to the “I want to take a shower with your daughter” routine. I mean, who in their right mind wants to “do” mom?
Crikees! even Elvis wouldn’t sleep with any woman who had birthed a child (and didn’t wear diapers. Ooops! It was Elvis who wore diapers).
This man has no imagination. He deserves to be busted for the fact that he went for show, instead of win or place..
Or baked goods.
Happy, I think your missing the point in that man’s pants.
I am in high dudgeon is probably why.
High dudgeon? Is that a dungeon filled with bitter, bitter smurfs.
Just the one smurf really.
Happy, I forgot to tell you that I admired your poem. Chicks dig dudgeon anti-social brooders.
Happy Feets, yep, Himalayan women, I bet’cha.
Oh. That poem is a rap what a teacher friend of mine wrote and performed for her kids what she has to prepare for the TAKS. She is a very talented teacher/rapper person. Also she teaches hiphop dance.
SSSSSHHHHHHH!!!!
Ya’ll keep it on the down low. Don’t let those morons over at Ace’s find out about this story. If they ever hear that private schools aren’t the perfect solution to the national clusterfuck created by the public school system, it’ll take years for them to regain any kind of rational perspective.
This woman’s problem is the same problem that the entire poverty class has imho. And it cuts across all races. And that is that they don’t really want to know anything (education) but they want a piece of paper that says they know something (diploma). Seems to me like it’s slowly creeping into large segments of the middle class also. She just wants to get her daughter in possession of some documentation that she knows a little bit of something without her daughter having to demonstrate that she knows anything at all. And in an unregulated market (private schools) you can buy damned near anything you want. Homeboy just fucked up and got himself on TV by trying to barter for pussy. Instead of cash. Or baked goods.
Sticky B –
I think you missed something here. In private school you can get ahead (pun intended) if you (or, much more enticingly, your daughter)are willing.
I hate to say it, but it is my (our?) generation that is behind this mess that has allowed Harry reid and Nancy Pelosi to fuck up any rational action in this new millenium. I am waiting for Congress to pass a law that says: “Up yours! WE are the world, because you elected us. Give us all of your money! Minorities need it in order to vote for us idiots”.
Thanks Mom. Thanks Dad. I have always wanted to live in a world where spoiled little idiots have their hands on the levers of power.
Oh. And BTW, how come the sake bottle gets heavier every time I lift it, evenm though there is less sake in it each time I put it down?
Is this a phenomenom that has anything to do with forty year old psychedelic experiences?
Sticky B – at least in Michigan, private schools are regulated, that is they have to meet the legal standards. Or should. There may be something else going on.
And in an unregulated market (private schools) you can buy damned near anything you want.
You can buy the piece of paper, but schools that devalue their diplomas are in the same boat as banks that devalue their paper currency. The market takes note, and acts accordingly.
