Teacher Cuts Off First Graders Braids

January 20th, 2010

teacher-cuts-girls-braidsWhat kind of punishment is this?!

A Milwaukee teacher punished a first grader by cutting off one of her braids after becoming frustrated when she wouldn’t stop playing with them in class. To my shock, this teacher was not removed from the classroom, but little Lamya was moved to another class. Cutting Lamya’s braid is equivalent to hitting her, in my opinion.

I am outraged by this teacher’s behavior. She was clearly unable to handle the situation in an appropriate manner. I believe she should be placed on suspension from the classroom until this issue is resolved. This teacher humiliated this child in front of her class — and I believe assaulted her physically by cutting off her braid. Lamya was brought to the front of her class, a pair of scissors was brought close to her face, and her braid was snipped off and thrown into the trash. The school board should look into not only the teacher’s behavior, but also the principal at Congress Elementary and her mishandling of this situation.

Baby Born in Toilet!

Here is a post we found at www.momlogic.com that we simply couldn’t pass up.  Read it, share it and please comment…  we simply couldn’t believe it!

A Canadian woman mistakes labor for constipation and gives birth into a toilet! And the baby’s fine!

Vivian Manning-Schaffel: Oh. Ma. GUH.

I have to admit, I thought that the Discovery Health show “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant” was for suckers. I mean, SERIOUSLY. The signs of gestation aren’t subtle, they’re more like ginormous, flashing red neon signs. Between the missing period and the basketball-sized growth within trying to kick its way out, I haven’t quite reconciled how a woman could truly go a full nine-month term without figuring out she was carrying a passenger within her. I guess the show is of interest because other people can’t either!

Anywho, articles printed across Canada say it happened as recently as December 13th!

Apparently, Heather Richard of Winnipeg, who had been told she could not have children, was straining on her toilet in excruciating pain when, lo and behold, a 4 lb., 9 oz. child came out in lieu of a big ol’ turd.

“I didn’t know what it was at first,” she said of her first delivery. “I thought I was dying.”

There just so happened to be a bunch of cops hanging out at her house for an “unrelated matter” when they heard the ruckus.

What they found was an infant in the bowl without any vital signs. A policewoman began CPR, reviving the baby. “When he started to cry, it was the best thing I’ve ever heard,” Richard said.

The poor kid fractured his skull when he hit the bowl, but doctors say he should make a full recovery.

I don’t know, can a kid recover from finding out they were born in the bowl? Kidding, people!

4-Year-Old Suspended for Long Hair

Taylor Pugh has been suspended from pre-kindergarten because of his long hair. He now spends his days in the library, serving an in-school suspension.

At Floyd Elementary School in Texas, boys’ hair must be kept out of the eyes and cannot extend below the bottom of earlobes or over the collar of a dress shirt.

Last month, a seventh-grader in the same school district was sent home for wearing black skinny pants. His parents now homeschool him.

Do you think Taylor should be suspended for his long hair, or is the school district overreacting?
