That's what I thought, I had to read that sentance twice because it make me actually laugh aloud.Baby Tea said:
OT: Yeah it seems a little silly, but they are hindering progress for their education. Instead the teachers should just start saying meep when they are teaching and then give quizzes on the ciriculum they just lectured on. I bet it would stop after a few bad test scores.
Shit man, I choked on the smoke from my hookah laughing at that one.samaritan.squirrel said:
OT: That's... just... I dunno. Seeing as how our high schools are glorified daycare centers, I can't blame kids for disrupting useless bile. That, and it is pretty funny to imagine a teacher's reaction to that kind of thing.
Also, I'll bet they find another word. It's like when Edge sued some random iPhone app dev, and a bunch of other apps changed their titles to include the word 'edge'.
It's not the word itself that's annoying them, it's the way it's being used. Interrupting a class with meaningless crap after repeated warnings should get you suspended, punished, sent to the principal etc. It doesn't matter if it's "meep", "fuck", "gee golly gosh" or whatever.chronobreak said:
If people on this forum started posting one-word posts with just "meep" in them, the Banhammer would no doubt be swinging, right? And rightly so. It's the same concept.
With rights come responsibilities, and that includes the responsiblity to not be an asshat.Ganthrinor said:
Well unexpectedly I'll side with the school this time, the students were acting retarded so they deserve their punishment. Then again banning the word "Meep" wasn't the accurate thing to do. They should have simply warned the students that if anyone disrupted class like that they will be suspended, but banning the word Meep isn't going to stop them from doing it again with another word if they really felt like it.
I live in Massachusetts and nothing stupid this state does can surprise me anymore. This principle is terrible at dealing with kids if he couldn?t get them to stop saying meep without suspending people. Telling the kids to stop will just encourage them and the harsher the punishment the more the kids will feel they are rebelling when they do it. At my high school the penis game was popular. For those of you not familiar with the penis game its when one student says ?penis? then another student says ?penis? but louder than the pervious person until you have a bunch of people running around yelling penis. ?.I went to an all guys school.
I laughed so hard at this, I cant believe its true. You know every kid in the school had to have been saying "meep" every five minutes during every class for months for this to become a school-wide problem. Hats off to you kids, I can't believe that they actually banned the work "meep" because of this. Now you should all yell "Burt!' during all of your classes to sound like Ernie.
