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:
And these morons are teaching children!
I’m 27 and didn’t know they still had $2 bills till recently. Am I dumb? No. Have I ever seen a $2 bill? No. So that made me uninformed not dumb. Don’t look down on someone unless you’re picking them up. Not every knows everything like you apparent geniuses.
And they call it education?
Sad sad all they had to do is google that or look it up and none of this would have happen now you have to re educate the teacher about currency money skills. HELL you could have just call the local banks in town and asked !
Dummies
Forgot one thing Song Henrickson. You’re making too much sense. No teaching certificate for you for one year!
This story is so old it is annoying!
Thank you for shining a little light on this cesspool of demeaning others. So many people think just because they are familiar with something, everyone should know about it, or they are stupid. Send them to another country and they will be the stupid ones. . . Oh wait, then they will just be ignorant. . .
Wow…. nobody in the entire schools ever seen a 2 dollar bill. That’s funny, I hope the parents sue
A 2 dollar bill is Legal Tender!
