son of the isolated blurts thread!

Got a call from Babyminx's Health Ed teacher today. Seems they are covering the chapter on sexuality, and they are particularly stressing abstinence. (I knew this because Babyminx has been bitching about how hypocritical this teacher is, and quoting statistics at me for 2 weeks.) Today, they had to fill in a chart with headings such as, How to Practice Abstinence, The Emotional advantages of Abstinence. .. etc.

Apparently "To not do the dew" and "To control your wangus" are not appropriate answers for the How to Practice part of the chart.

But the topper came when he said to the class "Don't forget to fill in your boxes."

That is when Babyminx went into stand up comic mode and piped up, "But Mr. Health Ed teacher, isn't the whole point of abstinence to NOT fill in your box?"

Well shit. I had to fake a coughing fit. After he finished his appalled recitation, I pointed out that at least she had been paying attention, and got the gist of the lesson. I think I have detention tomorrow now too. . . .

That is so good!

But I'm confused: should I or should I not try to control my wangus?

Babyminx says yes--but the teacher said it was an inappropriate answer. I'm thinking Babyminx for the win on this one.

Don't you just love it when our supposed educational system and its "professionals" are so fucking retentive? Personally, I'd tell the teacher and the entire school board that they can shove their complaint up their ass, babyminx was correct, get up off her back about it.

 

[DesEsseintes]

I have only myself to blame. I do realize that but timing! We keep discussing timing and knowing your audience. She needs to work on that.

Tonight, she declared glitter to be the herpes of the crafting world.

It can be even more deadly.

And as a teacher for ten years, I can tell you that pupils like your daughter are a dream. At least they are memorable.

But schools don't want to stand up to Big Glitter

Cowards!

I'll try to put this as delicately as possible - That is TOTALLY FUCKED UP - and I now read these programs are being funded and promoted by federal policy. My immediate thought was "sure fire way to increase teenage pregnancies and increase the spread of STIs". So I search this bit of nonsense you have in your country and found
http://www.advocatesforyouth.org/pu.../409-the-truth-about-abstinence-only-programs
also in a handy PDF format for emailing and printing to send to the school principal
http://www.advocatesforyouth.org/storage/advfy/documents/fsabstinenceonly.pdf

We have a government that has tried to push School chaplains at the expense of trained counsellors - same sort of nonsense - hard-line Christian right influencing and infiltrating government policy. If I had a child being bulldozed with that nonsense I would demand they be excused from those classes and I would be VERY noisy about those demands.

FWIW, I love Babyminx's answer. That teacher has no sense of humor. But I have to disagree with her regarding glitter being the bane of the crafting world. That would be sewing with faux fur. It makes one helluva mess, and from the way that room looked afterward, you'd have sworn I'd skinned an animal in real life.


Blurt: my house is really, really quiet. I like it.

Babyminx does need to learn a little self-restraint though. She can be quite disruptive. Hell when I had her, they brought her back from the nursery after only 1/2 hour because she was kicking up such a fuss.

It can be even more deadly.

Hmmm, perhaps the glitter fights in the craft store are going to have to cease. The majority of her teachers adore her, because she's smart, and a good student, but all that wit can be too quick for her own good sometimes. A couple of years ago it was her giving an intro of her self as "Hi, I'm Babyminx, and I'm an alcoholic." Funny, witty, yes. Did I get a phone call? You betcha.

This class is supposed to be teaching a little bit of everything--and instead seems to be teaching a whole lot of nothing. The teacher is doing as he's told, but is clearly showing his bias. It was clear I irritated him on the phone, but he's going to have to deal with that. He can't give me detention--and that school system and I have butted heads about my son's migraine medical excuses, and them taking away credits for the gifted program. The administration HATEs me there, but the teachers all love me because I'm willing to help out where I can.

This. Babyminx would have been one of my favorite students.

Or the bane of your existence--or both.

Faux fur is also a nightmare--but she was talking about one of our famous glitter fights in the Michaels. We all looked like we had had a lapdance by the time we left.

And I decided it would be a great idea to throw a small cocktail party tonight, after working all day, because. . . I'm an imbecile.

Break out the "gun" case.

 

[Saucyminx]

Break out the "gun" case.

*sigh* If only that gun case were mine.

I just broke out a ton of amuse-bouche, some really good Prosecco and St. Germain, and a bunch of silliness. A good time was had by all, the revelers have departed, the kitchen is tidied, and I'm going to go take a molten lava temperature shower to get rid of the kinks in my neck. Not all my kinks mind you, just the ones in my neck.

 

[Miles Long]

Too cold. Staying home.

That moment that you realize that tank top you bought to wear under your hoodie, is actually a tank dress that you would not leave the house in if someone was holding a gun on you.

 

[Miles Long]

Fashion show!

 

[Saucyminx]

Oh shit, I have one of those. I'll see if I can find a pic of me in it. Ten tonne tessie!!

Fashion show!

If it was an inch shorter it would be an actual tank top. lol.

Hell to the no! I seriously would take a bullet between the tits before being seen in this thing--or I could put on the new boots and go make some quick money for the kid's college fund. . . but nah it's cold.
