In many ways, children today are accused of being sheltered little cupcakes who have no idea what it is like to face adversity. Everyone has the grandpa or great-uncle that will tell you how they had to walk five miles to school in the freezing snow — uphill both ways, of course. These pampered little kids today have no idea what it was like.
But children going through school in 2016 also must deal with plenty of unfathomably ridiculous injustices that their parents and grandparents never had to endure. Things such as Common Core math problems, symposiums on white privilege, lectures about microaggressions, the bigotry of “gendered language,” and the confusion over why boys are suddenly allowed in the girls’ restrooms.
So yes, while children today are sheltered from many things, stupidity is not one of them.
Recently, a 13-year-old student at a Houston-area middle school became the subject of a full-scale forgery investigation when she tried to pay for her chicken fingers with a $2 bill.
To read about the ridiculous lengths to which the school district’s police department went in their investigation, and to learn their findings, continue reading on the next page:
There’s a whole new level of stupidity being taught in the schools!
This is old$#%&!@*news happened three years ago
That’s the Guv. F**e as a two dollar bill…lol
This explains why the education system is in the mess it is.
Where does our educated school officials find these morons we have today calling themselves professor or teacher or principal
Need more educated teachers!
At a retail job I had, a cashier refused a $2. bill thinking it counterfeit. She called the manager, who started to say the same till I told them it was legal tender and $2. bills had been around some time. I just happened to have one I found from the 60s in my billfold. I told them to both get educated about our currency or get out of retail. Needless to say I wasn’t popular at the moment.
That’s how good we got teachers nowadays there too didn’t know there’s a such thing as a $2 bill morons
My husband went to subway a few years ago and tried to pay for his sandwich with four $1 coins. It was change he’d gotten back after another purchase that day. The girl behind the counter kept telling him it was $4.00 for the sub not $1.00 for the sub. He finally had to yell at her that she was holding four dollar coins and then she got the manager out there and asked if they accepted those! People these days are idiots.
It’s sad but if teachers don’t know about a $2 bill, we need to create an entrance exam to first see if they have the intelligence to teach.
