Hope that gets her /his point across to them, good on them for doing it..Loko 0 -
A friend of mine does that.
She taught at the prison for years, but now teaches in a very small town between here and Nebraska.
As if her physical size wouldn't get the idea across. She must be six two or so.
One of her students' father tried to get her in trouble over the tactic, at a school board meeting. Bad timing that...Open Forum, minutes taken...
She quizzed him on how many hours he made available to the child for help with homework, how many Parent-teacher meetings he attended...
Once you get the woman going, she's unstoppable. Kinda like Boudica, without the tactical errors.0 -

Back in fifth grade, I was flunking elementary level math. My math teacher ("Ms. Le Marchand") asked - in front of all my little classmates - what was it that I wanted to be when I grew up. I, of course, said: "I'm going to be a Doctor", to which the f'ing biotch snapped: "You can't be a Doctor. You're too dumb to even understand arithmetic!"
[:(][:(][:(]
Guess who's now teaching college level math to pre-medical students?

Would you say that you took her comment as a challenge? Maybe, since those words stuck with you so clearly, they helped motivate you to excel...?
I remember my father telling me that "You don't have the spine to be an attorney, son".
He was right, of course, so I'm in small-market radio, barely eking out a living, after decades of drug and alcohol abuse, no doubt brought on by my father's complete lack of faith in me or my abilities...but this isn't about me...0 -

More like a healthy redirection of emotions, or what psychoanalists call "the defense mechanism of sublimation".
BTW, "Ms Le Marchand" died two years later from metastatic breast cancer.0 -

Did it help you excel?0 -
I think it is an honest wakeup call to those who expect to live the lifestyle their partents are providing them in their adult life but aren't preparing to do so with an education. 0 -

I agree. This will likely send a message to the student. Shape up or work for minimum wage the rest of your life.0 -

I don't think it was meant to be funny (although, I think it's hilarious) - I'd file it under 'wake up call' and I'd thank that teacher if my kid came home with that stuck to an 'F' test.
... good job, teach!

Wake up!!! Since Out Sourcing has become the norm....McDonald's is a Good job in America!!!!
Around here you could have graduated from Yale with honors and and if you don't have a relative to get you in the door...well you probably couldn't even get hired at McDonald's0 -
yes, i agree, its a good thing she is doing...if it makes kids think about their future whats wrong with it? at some stage in everyones life they have to realise that the world does`nt owe them a living. 0 -
Call it what you will, but as some of you know, likemhot jr would like to go into medicine and would like to do so by attending a well known med school.
After coasting through his first semester this year and receiving what I consider, for him, to be poor grades, I sat down and got all the home pages for the Universities he would like to send his applications to. Guess what, the eye opener for him was NOT ONE would accept his app. as it now reads.
This semester we saw great improvements and a leap in his GPA.
In today's job market I have seen many new employees with Master's Degrees and PhD's. not able to find work in their chosen field. Wake them up now, and we won't have to worry about them tomorrow. If my son came home with that I would applaud the teacher. However, my wife and I were raised believing it is our responsibilty for our child's grades0
