School accused of throwing away students (lunches)

I always thought it was weird that lunch at the school cafeteria isn't free to begin with or that they entice kids to spend extra money ala cart like they should be in charge of budgeting

Quote:

Superintendent Jim Jones said the Stanley-Boyd school district has been cracking down on lunch accounts that hit zero. He said they’ve been offering those students an "alternative lunch."

"Let them drink Kool-Aid!"

They used to come to my classroom selling **** for fundraisers. Ice cream or whatever bull**** while I supposed to be teaching. We were forbidden to send them away. I always kept cash on me to buy one for every student. I told the PTA everyone gets the same deal in my class. Nobody has to sit and watch another kid enjoy a treat because he or she doesn’t have a dollar or two in their pocket. Some thought I was really kind but others said you’re not teaching them about the real world. As if poor kids don’t already know about the real world.

Nobody would have thrown that kid’s lunch away in front of me. Or at least I’d be walking out in ****ing handcuffs and I’ll swear that on Coltrane. Where I taught had 100% free lunch title one anyway. In some districts they do have enough sense to stop taking cash for lunch when so few students can afford it it costs more to pay a cashier. And breakfast, too.

Monday mornings kids would always crowd in for the free breakfast in big numbers from going hungry on the weekend. If you don’t believe it, **** you, it is like that. And still some teachers bitched about kids getting free food. Like how the **** can you object to a child getting fed?

It’s ****ing sickening.

If one student was chewing gum OH would steal his pack and cut the remaining pieces into equal portions for the rest of his students. Dats how it goes in Mr Hawks class.

I hope he divided the weed if he found some on someone.

You had to top your dinner card up each week at my school. Or whenever you wanted, there were machines you swiped and put cash in. I had £10, £2 a day for two meals.

You can tell who has money and who doesn't cos the poor students got chips with baked beans on and the well off guys had plates stacked with burgers and pizzas, chocolate concretes and cans of fizzy drink in their pockets for eating in lessons.

Bill Gates gives $44M to influence state education reform

color me surprised

why would they consider it after seeing what the US does to countries that make such a deal

Trump’s puppet masters can’t wait for Iran and Israel to start exchanging nukes so Cool JC can make his second encore.

Also after that massacre in Jerusalem how long until the new US embassy blows up?

And frankly, why would N. Korea or any country talk disarmament with America? That’s like Bill Gates telling me I don’t need money.

The entire non-nuclear world should be applying sanctions on America demanding we disarm not vice versa.

Argentine FA's guide on chatting up Russian women this summer l The Guardian

Quote:

There are more than a few concerns before next month’s World Cup in Russia: the threat of hooliganism, the country’s patchy record on LGBT rights, and the prospect of Russia playing Vladimir Putin at centre-forward. For officials at Argentina’s Football Association (AFA), however, the most pressing issue appears to be how to talk to women.

On Tuesday, the AFA held a course for players, staff and journalists about what to expect when they travel to Russia. Among the materials was a manual entitled Russian Language and Culture, which included a chapter on “What to do to have a chance with a Russian girl”. Anyone wanting a chance with a Russian man was left to figure things out for themselves.

Setting aside the obvious dubious morals of the whole exercise, it turns out that the manual’s author, Eduardo Pennisi, believes Russian women have the same standards as pretty much everyone else on Earth. Apparently, they like people who are “clean” and smell “good”.

In another stunning revelation, Russian women like to be treated as human beings. “Russian girls do not like to feel like objects,” reads a passage from the manual, translated into English by Deadspin. “Many men, because Russian women are beautiful, only want to take them to bed. Maybe they want it too, but they are people who want to feel important and unique. The advice is to treat the women who is in front of you with their own ideas and wishes. Pay attention to their values and personality. Don’t ask stupid questions about sex.”

Additionally, Pennisi advises Argentinian men to avoid printing out their bank statement on a first date. “Maybe you try to impress her by talking about the money you have, that you know everything, that you are perfect and the others are poor stupid people,” reads the manual. “In the end, if the girl has a little sense, she will bounce you. Be real and talk about you in real terms, talk about your faults in a fun way and about your positive points.”

The AFA soon realised they had made a mistake and issued a statement on Wednesday. “After an internal investigation in respect to yesterday’s events during the Russian Language and Culture course, it has been concluded that the materials distributed were incorrectly printed,” read the statement.

“The teacher in charge of the course chose information to give the assistants but regretfully at the moment of printing, because of an unforeseen error a text that was never part of the course was included. The administrative personnel of the department proceeded to remove it immediately. We regret that the error would have obscured the importance of the day’s lesson and the permanent educational activities given by AFA, and expressing our sincerest apologies to those affected by the publication, which in no way reflects the thoughts of the Argentine Football Association or its president Claudio Tapia or any of of his directions.”

Pennisi does not offer any advice on whether or not Lionel Messi should play in the false nine role at the World Cup.

Quite the pennisy move.
