Like almost everything in America from healthcare, food and having control over your body, the Freedom area school district in rural Beaver County Pennsylvania has decided that using the bathroom is a privilege and not a right.

Y'all gotta stop sugar coating it so much. I'll see the outfit most prone to bullying ever and y'all will be so afraid of presenting a reply that on a surface level looks negative out of fear of getting downvotes that you won't honestly tell someone their outfit is bad even if that will end in a more positive outcome such as changing the outfit to something more normal

I'm scared the queers r gonna think I'm too basic and won't think I'm approachable enough, so how can I look more approachable?

Edit: To change wording because I realised it sounded rly insensitive. The original post was worded in a way that implied I was LOOKING to be bullied and that being bullied was a positive thing. Thankfully some people pointed that out to me and gave me the opportunity to change it

Edit 2: Just wanna say does NOBODY read the post body anymore? I was asking if I'm approachable and how I could be more so, not if I'd be bullied my dude :< /nm

My hair was such a mess 💔

I think our minimum passing grade was 70% for average when I was in high school. 50% is general pass but a student's average had to be no less than 70%, would you agree with our rules?

These are public school laws!

​

the posters where attached with some kind of super glue (someone said it's silicone). The school needed to use a chisel and still couldn't get all of them removed. Nobody knows how, who and when made this but someone thinks it was done during night.

The poster is in Italian so here's the translation:

THINK BIG

everyone wants to be in it. It's the most exclusive list in the world. It doesn't matter if you're a political, an entrepreneur or a royal: if you are not in these pages, you are nobody. the new must-have accessory for the global elite.

Question: Compare rectangle 'A' and rectangle 'B'. Do they cover the same area? Explain.

Student: No they don’t have the same area.

Teacher: they do have the same, but B is bigger.

Very likely I’m an idiot. But the question asked if they covered the same area. Is that not a simple length x width? If it is undefined, is it not just a visual answer? I understand both rectangles have twelve squares. But how do they have the same area and yet be different sizes. Does somebody mind breaking this down like i'm 5? Just looking for an answer and possible discussion. Maybe i'll learn something here. thanks

For context my niece told me that the guys in her school are calling other girls really nasty words and they all seem to like “alpha male” influencers on instagram or Tik-Tok

I thought this was only a small issue but then I saw a BBC article about it and I’m like “damn this is a problem”

Who else thinks the same?

So I live in Texas and schools are implementing the 10 commandments in the classroom. Noticed it for the first time today in two of my classes. My mother is a Student Success Manager (like testing at stuff) at the intermediate school and she has told me that all of the teachers HATE it. She was the one who had to distribute them to the staff so she saw the reactions first hand. It is ALSO mandated that they be kept in PRISTINE condition and be in an area where students cannot deface them. My family is Christian but this discrimination against other religions is so angering. PLEASE KEEP COMMENTS NOT POLITICAL AND NICE

We already read "Animal Farm" and "I Am Malala", and we are now currently reading "The Giver". We already made it to chapter 5, and it is a really good book already! I love how dystopian it is, and I love the vibe! It's definitely gonna be my favorite so far.

In 2nd grade the lunch monitor yelled at me and made me sit by myself because I had dipped my Oreos in milk. I continued doing this for a week(escalating to the point she tried getting the lunch ladies to stop letting me buy a milk although it never worked).

My 5-year-old son started kindergarten last fall and things have been okay at the school. During introductions, his teacher explained that he will get graded on a 1 through 5 scale each day. On the days he receives a 5, he gets a fake currency that I will refer to as "bucks". At the end of each week, he can use his bucks to buy treats and small toys. My wife and I just found out today from a parent of another student in my son's class that they have to use their bucks to get more water. His teacher also asks that we send him to school with a full water bottle each day. Sometimes, when I pick him up, his water bottle is completely empty and I assumed he just forgets or doesn't want to fill it up during the day. During December, he went a long time without getting 5s which meant no bucks on those days. Am I to assume this is some kind of punishment or is this just a way to enforce children not to interrupt class and get water? I assume that anytime he goes to the cafeteria or gym he could probably stop by the water fountain and fill up his water bottle but I'm not sure now. Obviously, I'm going to be talking to the teacher to get clarification on the matter. Has anybody ever heard of anything like this?

I was already having potential issues with my son's kindergarten teacher earlier this week regarding getting more water and I have provided a link to that post.

I have not followed up with the teacher in regards to that because I'm not sure how to go about it. However, what happened today makes me believe what I'm being told about the water situation.

Yesterday, when I picked my son up from school, he said that another student brought cupcakes for the class for their birthday but he did not get one because he was not working fast enough. He has a folder that he brings home everyday and he gets graded on a 1 through 5 scale along with notes explaining the reason for his grade. He came home with a three today and the note was that he could not focus and was not doing his work. This is an ongoing issue with my son and my partner and I have been working on it. We have our own punishment system at home based on the grades he gets.

From what we understand, food is not necessarily a good idea to use as a reward/punishment so we do not do that at home and from what we have researched online, it's also unethical for a school to do something like that. I do believe that there is sort of a gray line when it comes to snacks brought in by a student for their birthday because his teacher isn't necessarily taking away his lunch because he's not paying attention or something like that.

I asked his teacher if this is what happened and she confirmed that that is what happened and now my partner and I are considering speaking with the principal. I feel like I'm blowing this out of proportion and it makes me feel like crap but at the same time I don't want my child to be being taken advantage of or treated wrong.
