Had my first serious issue with public education today. The 4th grader came home and told us that his school had a session on internet safety, involving a "physical" policeman, and 2 "digital policemen" who monitor what's said online for 6 keywords, including "murder, kill, hurt, and some others".

He was given the impression that these words are illegal to say online, that "just kidding" doesn't apply on the internet, and that 'more of what people say online is serious than in real life'.

I responded with a long lecture on the 1st and 4th, and plan to have a chat with the school soon.

Sounds like the FBI sent in some agents disguised as cops to gather intel on the ISIS supporter via his kid.

Ever wonder why charter schools and even vouchers also suck ass and fuck over our children?


High-school principal accused of keeping Catholic-school kids off admission list

New York University education professor Sean Corcoran agreed that principals can cheat.

“They can tinker with the lists for any number of reasons — like weeding out kids who are lower-achieving, come from poor neighborhoods, or just don’t seem motivated enough to go to that school,” he said.
