Without Informing Parents…



Today at Ferguson High little Johnny learned how to loot a liquor store and burn down a building.

Quote:Hundreds of students were allowed to leave several high schools in Ferguson, Mo., Tuesday morning to protest in the city’s streets–a decision the school district made without notifying the children’s parents before or during the protest.

Teachers and administrators also walked with the students as they blocked traffic and clogged congested intersections.

The students, primarily from McCluer, McCluer North and McCluer South-Berkley high schools, crowded into the streets of Ferguson in the early morning hours and stretching into the afternoon, an extenuation of months of protests that have taken place in the St. Louis suburb following the shooting death of black teenager Michael Brown by Darren Wilson, a white police officer, on August 9.

With chants of “hands up, don’t shoot” and “pissed off, fight back,” the young protesters marched past rows of buildings boarded up with hand-painted plywood, the scars from riots and looting that occurred after a grand jury last Monday decided not to bring any charges against Wilson in Brown’s death.

Nothing spells quality education like field trips.

What would happen to a teacher who let their kids out to protest in favor of a conservative cause? I'm sure the administration and unions would be ok with it.

Brainwashing kids and using them as pawns ... right out of the liberal play book.

Who knows? Hopefully not.

However, if my kids school let my kid out into a hazardous situation such as that some school admininstrator would have some serious questions to answer.

They probably weren't going to learn anything anyway.

School administrator would have serious questions to answer if my child attended that school district. I expect a permission slip that laid out the details of the protest with a parental signature needed.

If school district let schools out on random, then I'd be the first in line barking at the school admin

Not only that, what would have happened if some of the kids had been hurt?

I can't imagine what these schools are dealing with and NEITHER CAN YOU! I'll bet you a hundred dollars that the percent of the kids who "left" to protest were around 20% and on top of that probably some constructive learning happened after they went. You would be amazed what can happen when 20% of the rabble rousers are off and what then can actually be taught that day. It would be a damn near impossible situation there to educate kids. Are any of you familiar with Maslow's hierarchy of needs?

Safety is one of the basic needs. The mind becomes consumed if these basic needs are not met. I'm telling you education can not happen or is SEVERELY RESTRICTED with a kid who needs are not being met. This kids are so fragile mentally that an issue like this wipes them out. I'm positive these kids are not splitting the atom this week.

Impossible situation if you want my opinion. Probably the best thing for those emotional kids to do is protest why the ones who actually want to learn are in the actual classroom.


Try to look at it from the educators viewpoint.

Can you imagine trying to teach Mike Brown's stepdad the quadratic equation? Impossible.

I couldn't even imagine teaching him respect.

I don't live there but I would imagine that some of the "youths" home lives are in disarray. I would even venture to say the first level of needs are not being met. Sprinkle in nightly gunfire and the occasional riot I would bet you that conjugating verbs isn't really high on the list right now. They are emotionally distraught. The community obviously feels they need change. How do you initiate or foster change? I would think peaceful protests. Marching.

Let's take the pragmatic approach to this. Probably the best thing for all involved would be for the people who want to protest to be able to protest. The kids left that are being taught and the ones out protesting.

but let's attack the schools and the administrators and anybody else............... for the impossible situation they find themselves in.

Read the article. What do you want the principal and teachers to do???????

Honestly. I want actual answers here. Enough of the finger pointing. What would you do if you were in charge. Tase them back into the classrooms? Tell me and then I will answer the back and forth. Remember we have graduation requirements now? The schools are funded by how many they graduate and how many are in school?

That makes no difference.

If safety is the number one priority then no way in hades you send those kids out into that mess.

So do They get grade points for technique while throwing a brick ? Originality on Sign making ? Screaming and head weaving at counter demonstrators ?

A great class trip would have been a federal prison!

But their whole premise is based on being black and killed off by white police. That's going to stick with them for the rest of their lives and they'll never find trust. Next thing you know, they'll distrust the cops, run from them if confronted, and get tackled or worse, and they'll blame the cop for being a racist.
