At last. Someone I loath more than Tiffany. In fact, while I don’t condone violence, here’s where I’d make an exception. In this instance, it would be okay for Tiffany to wind up and deck this egotisticall dame! (And I’m being polite by calling there that.) A shiner and a fat lip would improve her looks.

Maybe it’s because we don’t teach civics in schools anymore?

This is not going to end well. For once, I’m cheering for Tiffany.

You know, I kinda’ like Peterson. A younger version of Joe.

Thanks for comment. I suppose, in the end, I turned out alright, thanks to a persistent Mom who wouldn’t give up on her kids (there were seven of us, but admittedly, I needed the most work). So, it was after-school tutoring, summer school and in-school speech class for me. Went onto college and grad school, and tech school after all that. And yet, while following this story arc, I’m instantly taken back to those days over 60 years ago and what it was like to be singled out as a “stupid kid.” By-the-by, my oldest brother was told by his high school guidance counselor that he’d “make a good truck driver.” Our Mom told her she was all wet and that he’d be the first one in our family to go to and graduate from college. He later became to CFO of a Fortune 500 company. Ironically, I had the same high school counselor who essentially told me the same thing.

I’m really kinda’ struggling here. Back in the early 1960s (before they called it special education), I was “one of those kids.” There was definitely a stigma to it. I sincerely hope teachers and kids are more accepting these days. I think I had Eva Braun for my 3rd Grade teacher. Definitely destroyed what little self-confidence I had in putting up with the “stupid kid.”

Ditto with all the two comments above. I don’t remember special ed, tutoring and summer school being all that much fun in the early 1960s, but it did help.

Ah Kevin, I know the feeling all too well. This was me in 3rd Grade in the early 1960s. Remedial everything, including being one of a handful in my whole school who had to go to speech class. Only then, they didn’t call it Dyslexia. You were labeled (if politely) “slow” or if not labeled politely (like my 3rd Grade teacher did) “stupid.” She was old school, near retirement age and had NO patience for the stupid and shy kid. Traumatized and self confidence destroyed? Oh yeah. Thank god my mother did not give up on me. Endured (and prospered) by after school tutoring with kindly and retired teachers, summer school, etc. To this day, I still read constantly, finished college and graduate school and have made something of myself. Dyslexia is not a death sentence.

Here in Wisconsin, we call this Driving the Porcelain Bus.
Agreed. I don’t condone violence and it was wrong of me to imply it. But I would like to see Stef get her comeuppance.
