You can only get away with this at public schools. They already have your money so fuck off.

Even before you consider that the school name is not mentioned in the actual recording this is clearly a parody and would never actually be used. This is the first video version I have seen that tries to link it to a school and so I imagine that bit is all lies.

However what it's referring to is the reason we have such an apathetic and violent bunch of binge drinking absentee parents populating our country, breeding another generation of same.

The only thing i disagree on is the bit about foreign languages. And even then only because most of the people who say that sort of thing are racists who are trying to line themselves up with people like me, who welcome anyone into a country as long as they integrate.

I think (and i would) if you go to live in another country, you should abide by their rules, customs and conventions rather than suing the government/police force/whatever else every time you're asked FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY/OTHERS/TO DO THE JOB PROPERLY to remove an item which you feel is culturally/religiously part of you. If you still can't remove it/abide by whatever is asked of you, don't do that job. To grant someone special dispensations, i believe, is inequality not equality. Everyone has an equal right to do anything they are qualified and right for, as long as they are willing to do it to the same standard required of anyone else.

A policy of not pandering to people in this way would deal with a lot of home-grown problems as well as cultural differences with others. And i'd argue that, in the long run, it'd bring different cultures together more for obvious reasons.

I've been called racist by a certain person on this website for saying this before, and if you agree with that, then i call you an unracist. In an effort to rally for equality, you overshoot the target and end up on the other side where there is still inequality just in favour of someone else.

According to the Snopes article this Charter High School (in California not Australia) enacted the policy without being submitted to or approved by the school board, which failed students with 2 weeks worth of absences (10 days) REGARDLESS of academic achievement. If I were a student or parent at the school I'd be pissed too. And I hear their buses and school lunches suck as well. I'd like to punch those arrogant self-impotent teachers in the face. Which number was that again?

^ Horrendously put together text all round really. Bad spelling and grammar, incorrect words, and a painful ignorance of how to place text on pages.

Other than the language thing I agree with most of the sentiment of this fake message. There are a class of parents who want to take no responsibility for their own children and just want the school to let them get their diploma and leave with no actual care for what they may be learning or not.

I HAD to reply to that statement...in fact, the problem itself is that parents take ALL the responsibility for their own children...leaving NO room for the child to be accountable for his/her own actions. It makes for horrendous adults.

Dear Parents:
Please, for the love of all that is human and good, let your kids screw up, and let them take the consequences of their screw ups. You are not your kids, nor vice/versa.

I think I worded that badly. I definitely agree that kids should be allowed to try and fail at things, but there are a group of parents who refuse to accept that their kid may be doing the wrong thing, or not trying hard enough or are disruptive, but instead think that its all manner of other things that are at fault. It's not their kid, it's the teacher. It's not their kid, it's other kids in the class. And they get so worked up when their kid does poorly and demand explanation and why has the school failed them etc.

Sometimes the school is definitely at fault in these cases, BUT more often than not its the kid, and by extension, really the parent who is at fault.

... so learning the language that everyone else speaks isn't integrating?
