Kid gets DETENTION for being funny.

Okay, three things.



#1 - High five to the kid and I'm sure the suppressed laughter his remark got was TOTALLY worth it.



#2 - I see they notified the parent by email. If that's my kid and I get that email I'm printing it out and showing it around the office like a badge of honor. I might even frame it and hang it in my office.



#3 - What the hell is "blunch"?

Mmmm I dunno. yes, for sure it's funny. But, I can understand a teacher wanting to keep a class orderly and disciplined. Junior high is liek 12-14... If it happened at work, and it bothered a adult female, it would constitute sexual harrassment. Kids may be too embarassed or shy to speak up if they don't like it.



If I were the teacher, I wouldn't send home a note though, I'd just take him aside and ask him not to make remarks like that. If he kept it up, then I guess I would involve the parents.

Hey, isn't the bottom line on that "Teacher Assigned Detention Notice" more than a little bit racist?

Yeah, I know... sorry, I just felt like my post needed a number three.



"B Lunch"... sounds like the name of an overweight rapper.

Your butt is wide, Well mine is too.

Just watch your mouth, or I'll sit on you.

the word is out, better treat me right.

Cause I'm the king, of cellulite.

Ham on, Ham on, Ham on whole wheat, alright

My zipper's bust, My buckles break.

I'm too much man, For you to take.

The pavement cracks, When I fall down,

I've got more chins, Than Chinatown.



Well I never use the phone booth,

and I never see my toes,

when I'm going to the movies,

I TAKE UP 7 ROWS BECAUSE

Chorus:

I'm fat, I'm fat shumon! (really really fat)

I'm fat, I'm fat you know it! (really really fat)

I'm fat, I'm fat c'mon, y'know (really really fat)

Don't you call me pudgy, portley or stout, just tell me once again

Who's fat?



When I walk out, to get my mail

It measures on the Richter Scale.

down at the beach, I'm a lucky man,

I'm the only one who can get a tan.

If I have one more pie, a la mode

I'm going to need my own zip code.



When you're only having sceonds,

I'm having 23rds

When I go to get my shoes shined,

I've got to take their word because

CHORUS

If a shadow weighs 42 pounds, let me tell you once again,

Who's fat?



If you see me coming your way,

Batter give me plenty space.

If I tell you that I'm hungry,

then won't you feed my face because'

CHORUS



WOO WOO WOO WOO!! (when I sit around the house, I really sit around the house)



Chorus x3



And the whole world knows I'm fat and proud of it Lemme tell you once again,

WHO'S FAT

Well...



...it's the lounge so I won't say much more than just how "humor" is a complicated concept under libertarian standards.



In short, consider how the existence of public education, refusal to punish every child who makes smart ass remarks, tolerance of acting out, and hiring of poor quality lunch monitors are all other issues that have to get addressed beforehand.



Ah this was a teacher.



Well government employing teacher union members has to be addressed nonetheless.
