mkirby624 I explain it to my students this way. if you choose to act out in front of your entire class and disrupt the lesson, then I have no other choice than to chastize you in front of your classmates. I don't have the time or the extra eyes for supervision to take a...

mkirby624 That is sad that teachers are the people who are too incompetent to do the other jobs. I feel sorry for your education system if that is the case!

mkirby624 If a student gets embarassed by being scolded in front of the class, maybe that student will learn to no longer act up in class.

mkirby624 If scolding students in front of classmates is banned, we will have a worse discipline problem than we already have. In a class of 30 students, I don't have time to pull aside each student who is misbehaving in the middle of my lesson. I correct their behavior...

mkirby624 Do you expect your daughter's boss to never criticize her in front of her co-workers? If you daughter is acting up in class, she has to be chastised. If this embarasses her, then maybe she should choose not to act up in class any longer.

On Sunday my stepson called to tell his father that he got a cell phone. My husband seems fine with this, he said, "As long as his mom is paying for it I don't care if he has one." I disagree! I don't think he is old enough for...

mkirby624 A lot of my students have cell phones (I teach 6th grade) because they walk home from school, or they have sports practice after school and have to call their parents to tell them to come pick them up. In my opinion, that is reasonable; however, I understand...

Do you refuse to have certain things b/c you think of them as a waste of money? In the town we live in, you either have to have Cable tv or Satelite. You don't get any channels just by plugging in your tv. However, Cable runs...

mkirby624 I am a tv addict, and will gladly admit it. Life without cable would make me sad haha. We can get a couple of channels just by plugging in the tv, but we live in the middle of the city, so that is probably why. We use Comcast, and you can get the basic...

mkirby624 I understand what you're saying. Sometimes I just feel like when people say "It's because I'm black, isn't it?" when something unfortunate happens to them, that they are just making excuses. I mean, if someone says something against their race, by all means,...

mkirby624 My husband is never out late enough without me to need a curfew. He works until about 10:15-10:45, depending on how long it takes to close up the store, but he always comes home when he gets off work. There's no reason for him to be out late without me,...

mkirby624 You're not a housewife, you're a stay at home mom. BIG difference. I don't like when women are JUST housewives. They don't have kids, yet they don't work. I think that's really lazy. Unless you have kids, I really think there's no reason to stay at home. What...
