2019 SOTU: Who’s Watching? (Poll)

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Would you propose doing a poll of people who didn't watch the speech?

No but I would propose taking that poll with a grain of salt.

Only because it's not your propaganda

Boy was bussing a terrible idea.

Yeah they basically took my white school in the suburbs and bussed us all to the city limits where we met up with other white kids from the suburbs. I had only a couple black kids in my class, one of which came with us on the bus from the burbs.

The white teacher?

The girlfriend is one of the two lower ones on the far right.
89Hen is wearing the snowflake sweater.

Did I win?

[Ibanez]

The girlfriend is the ginger on the 2nd Row
89Hen is either 2nd from the left on Row 3 OR 1st on Row 4.

Did I win? What'd I win?

Isn't it

They were a rival of ours, very close to home. When they started bussing in 6th grade I went to middle school (3-6) with kids who went to three different junior highs (7-9): Springer (mine), Talley and Hanby. We hated them.

I did my primary student teaching in Christina SD, with a few shorter assignments in Red Clay. Wasn't familiar with the Brandywine schools.

Boy was bussing a terrible idea.

I was so glad I grew up downstate.

Bayard Middle was a hellhole of epic proportions.

Although my Dad getting a job in PA and a longer commute was a big reason for us to move out of DE (we lived just outside of Newark), the prospect of us being bussed to Bayard back in the late 70's early 80's was the final push for us to move. And my parents were/still huge advocates of public education.

Man, I had 8th grade bro-hams with beepers who would walk out in the middle of class when they were beeped and walk out to a car and drive off and show up an hour later.

They respected me to an extent, but business was business. I was told very early in the assignment what shit went down at the school and with certain kids' home lives and was told what lines were not to be crossed. Race was a hot-button issue and white teachers just did not step across it. If you were having issues with a black kid, you'd just immediately dish them off to the black disciplinarian or to a black faculty member.

I remember calling the parents of one black kid that was acting like an asshat and his mom asked me, "did you whoop his ass?". I said no ma'am that's not my job, and she said "aight, I'ma get him when he gets home.". Never had another problem with that one.

Apparently Delaware's own Joshua Trump caught some quality zzzzzzzz's throughout the SOTU last night.

What else would you expect from a Trump?

I spent one year as a SRO (one of the hardest years I had as a cop). This one time we had a kid who screwed up somehow and wound up in the principal's office.. I dont even remember what the kid did, but I got called to the office to hang around because everyone in the front office was afraid of the kid's mother... apparently when they told her she would have to come pick her kid up she got irate on the phone.

So, in comes this mother and we go into the office where her kid is sitting. She looks at the principal and asked,

"What he did?"

The principal told her he was disrespectful to a teacher or something. The woman, while calmly reaching into her purse, was quietly saying to her son, "Ima gonna make sho I don't have to come back up in here ever again over you stupid sh!t... and you have me up in here with the poe-leece too?! OH NO!"

And then she pulls a coiled extension cord out of her purse.. with the plugs exposed and draws back to start beating the kid with it... for a split second I thought about just stepping out of the office but then I didn't want to field questions about some kid coming bloody out of there so I grabbed her wrist and begged her to wait until she got home.

Much SOTU about nothing.

Certainly didn't see BDK's 4D Chess scenario play out.

[SDHornet]

Didn't watch but saw clips and read some commentary. Sounds like it was a good speech with some gaffs, and the donks looked terrible with not applauding good news. All in all good news for the Trumpster. The donks have to be shitting bricks when they see the following poll:



Heard the failed governor lady had an awful speech.

Haven't looked into commentary on bernie's speech yet.

I’ve never heard her speak but I picture her having the occasional whistling on sibilant “S”

God I love the 70's. I thought I had a similar class pic from around the same year but couldn't find it so I'll post this one of my soccer team around 3rd or 4th grade instead. Point of interest...there's a future NFL #1 draft pick in it.

My daughter teaches ESL in Charlotte and esince its taught in English it takes the new kids a while to figure out that the blue-eyed blonde lady not only speaks good Spanish but also has a good command of Mexican slang. The only time she uses Spanish is to ask if she needs to call home and speak with mom at which point the kid invariably begs her not to do so and swears he'll do better in class.

Burke? It was Burke,wasn't it?


I'm guessing the cop that had the Daniel Island beat had the cushiest job.

He already admitted to being the Palousian Sasquatch in the back row.
