8 Year-Old Gets 'Catastrophe Award' for Most Homework Excuses

Dumber parent

Dumber kid

When I was in high school a parent of the student voted "class clown" protested the result and had it removed as a "honor" section of the yearbook because she thought the idea made a mockery of education and her son. Always thought is was pretty stupid to make such a big deal, because the school wasn't so big her son could just hide or live it down.

Now, maybe the girl escapes this national embarrassment because she doesn't know most of those now laughing at the matter, her mother, her educational experience.

But, it is ironic that the mother is complaining about how this has embarrassed the daughter while technically furthering the embarrassment.

That said, teach was stupid for not just sending the card to the parents address, this way there's no "traumatizing" for the 8-YO, and we probably never hear about this mother who clearly never understood the value of the question, "Have any homework?" or its sibling followup, "Have all your homework to turn in?" while doublechecking to make sure her little irresponsible angel wasn't lying.

Dumber kid

Should have heeded your advice, huh!

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

But how do you know she did not.

When in doubt, I assume the teacher did as little as possible. Public school teachers for whatever reason are put on a pedestal and viewed as heroes in society but as a whole they're an extremely lazy group of people.

sound like she has diabeetus

Ya think it hurts when she pees?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Funny. I never made my stance about what the teacher did, either.

No, you just ridiculed her actions and then said it was not newsworthy. Which is ironic because its you that put up the OP.

i don't think this is important so lets talk about it.

Other not newsworthy threads started by VLE. Soap opera stars, incest, pedophilia, OJ and Oprah and where people take a dump. That's worthy of talking about in VLE world.

newsworthy

No its just an obvious observation. No one is more critical of the current state of parenting and the absolute void of responsibility and general babying behavioral patterns we see daily. I'm always first in line to drop the blame on the home front before the school front. I think its a good thing to ride and push young kids. But what was gained by condescendingly awarding this child for failure? This was not a push in the right direction. Mocking, insulting and belittling an 8 year old is about as unproductive as it gets. Its classless and cowardly.

Had this teacher sent the mother this award I might...might have laughed but she choose to embarrass a child she should be motivating.

As a parent I would probably be pissed off too. Her job is to teach not insult, belittle or attack the psyche of a child. If the kid is unteachable or unmanageable then say something but this ing school yard form of entertainment is in poor taste.

Winning is rewarded/losing is punished?

Listen Viva, the mother was dumb for not knowing the consequences of complaining that way she did. But she had every right to complain...I've never heard of a dumber and insulting teacher like this before..uncalled for..teacher should be fired..

newsworthy

So you felt that she shouldn't take it to the news yet it is newsworthy? uh-huh

As for obsessing. It took 2 clicks and 3 words. You are just an easy head to troll and that you are a sanctimonious asshole makes it that much easier.

I really liked the part where you criticize her parenting when you have no idea other than your sanctimonious horse about what led up to that happening. If she had gone to the school for example and they told her to piss off then going to the press seems a good option. Whats next? Firebomb the school.

We don't have all the information but you paint it in such a way as you can play Dr. Phil but with more asshole and less concern for the kid.

And whats with your fetish with ?

[100%duncan]

That's harsh.
