  1. So don’t send your kids to private school? Not sure what your point is? This makes you sound like a bigger asshole than me complaining about the teacher gifts. I’m sure those private school teaches get gifts too.
  2. All valid points I don't disagree with. One thing I will suggest is if your wife has a classroom parent that helps coordinate and organize activities she should tell her where she prefers the gift cards come from. That's basically how it is at my kid's school. If a teacher likes target then they get a bunch of target gift cards, if they like Starbucks then they get a bunch of Starbucks gift cards. My oldest son, his teacher this last year liked to go to the movies so my wife got the money from the rest of the parents and went and picked up one big Cinemark gift card to give for teacher appreciation week.
  3. The poster TexasJeff was asking for money to supplement teacher pay. That's what I was responding to. We provide supplies too as classroom parents and through teacher supply drives. I was just venting about the endless ask for more parent money to supplement what our taxes should be paying for to being with.
  4. Regarding the gift giving culture that permeates elementary school classrooms these days, it’s fucked up I should be expected to give gift cards 4-5 times a school year to teachers for doing their jobs instead of being able to send my kids to public school I pay for where the teachers are paid enough not to need my Target and Starbucks gift cards to supplement their income. Plenty of people work for similar salaries and don’t have these expectations. Also it’s mainly a middle class and up school districts where this happens and those teachers are not dealing with the worst of worst conditions that lower class and poverty stricken schools and districts are dealing with. So yes we fall into the peer pressure of a couple hundred bucks a year to help our kid’s teachers out that my mom never got teaching in lower income areas. But my wife’s mom taught in nicer areas and thinks it’s the norm so then so does my wife. /rant over

  6. lol you can stand by being wrong? How stupid are you? This chart goes back 50 years and outside of republicans most other voting demographics have dipped to around 50% for decades.

  8. Can you two shut the fuck up?
  9. Send this to all your mega peeps 😂
  10. No no no, I just need you to devote that time to making the Time Machine instead!
  11. Probably need to invent a Time Machine first to go back to before 2018 when good night Trump was already written…. Goodnight Trump: A Parody https://a.co/d/0e4Vrob
  12. I’m cracking up at the idea of a bunch of broadway actors in cop uniforms sashaying and jazz handing their way into an ICE facility. Where do I donate for this to happen?
  13. I’m also annoyed at the people behind her two hands on their phone filming like it’s the jersey shore instead of punching her in the face the moment she started attacking.
  14. Because LinkedIn took down his page I wanted to add this context to the few posts about his employment history on LinkedIn. Guy was a low to mid level manager then all of a sudden ceo of a company outside his field who he may or may not have been the only employee of.
