Yet another reason I fully believe children should be banned from the open internet
“We never meant for it to get this far, obviously,” one of the students said in the video. “I never wanted to get suspended.”
🙄
You just wanted to bully without consequences. Well, time to grow up.
The parents realized a ton of scrutiny was about to rain down apon them because of the actions of their kids in this article. And with scrutiny comes lawsuits.
That’s the only reason it stopped, lol. Fucking rich cunts and their asshole kids…
Was talking to my mom, who used to teach middle school, about this. She said it’s par for the course. We weren’t in a rich district but we also weren’t super far from this school. Her administration used to go along with families until there was outside pressure (which almost never happened)
Middle school is utter shit. Kids are awful to each other as much as they are to their teachers. We literally had to pull our daughter out of her public middle school and put her in a (thankfully also public) online school because she was bullied to the point that she was having thoughts of self-harm. And she hadn’t even let most kids know she was queer yet. She just dared to do things like wear spiked collars, which apparently made her a furry. I don’t even want to know what would have happened when the school decided she was a queer furry.
The idea of being able to wear something like that didn’t even cross my mind. When I was in high school (public school in rural Ohio), they’d just tell you to hand it (necklace) over until the end of the day or go home. I think high school is when they finally relaxed the hair restrictions for boys (not below the collar and only natural colors for all students) and I think that’s because a student who moved from the city’s parents were suing to keep their long-, dyed-hair son in school. I’m not saying I agree with things being that strict, by the way; I just didn’t realize that was even allowed now.
I’m not saying bullying is ok, but I think I would interpret a spiked collar in public as fetish gear unless it was part of an elaborate punk outfit.
Spiked collars were standard pieces added to punk gear in the 90’s, along with spiked wristguards. It was supposed to look mean/tough.
I missed a trick or something, I know anything has someone who has a fetish for it after 30 years online, but are we saying the public now views standard 90’s punk accessories as fetish gear?
Well then you’re a sheltered idiot
Even if that’s true, fetish gear does not equal furry.
But also, she wears things like Ramones and Dickies shirts. I’m not sure if that counts as elaborate enough?
That’s like majorly uncool. Why aren’t these kids be doing cool stuff like swallowing Tide pods or smashing their jawbones with a hammer?
I drive past this school ever so often, and while I know this can happen at any school, it always hits harder knowing there are asshole kids everywhere. Regardless of true intent, this shit destroys teachers’ livelihoods. While Malvern is a richer area by far (edge of the PA Main Line old money), that doesn’t excuse the behavior, even though there will be money thrown around to silence mouths.
The BS at the end of the article about these kids making the videos private so teachers can’t find them just enrages me more. Like, you little shits haven’t learned you lesson?
Gotta plug my other communities for a sec… come join us at !pennsylvania@lemmy.world and !philadelphia@lemmy.world if you live in the area!
Anytime, thanks! Yeah I’m over in Chester County, Coatesville/Downingtown. I need to chime in more in both those subs.
And yet if the teachers posted fake accounts of the students as babies covered in poop going “Going to school today! Wish me luck!” suddenly THEY would be the bad guys.
Of course, the teachers actually have fully developed frontal lobes
Pay wall
