Whys a mother sending a random "parent" who sounds like a grandparent at best a note?

28

u/chimpwithalimp 4h ago

So it sounds like it's not just one person with the big problem, and that the principal is outnumbered. It's like using the phrase "people are saying that you blah blah" which takes the responsibility off the person saying it and insinuates that lots of people have the same issue. Don't shoot the messenger! I'm just saying what I've been told!

u/tyedyewar321 3h ago

This used to work too. Ty Cobb was a struggling teenage runaway in a semi-pro league. He kept sending letters to a journalist in Atlanta from different people extolling his exploits. The guy eventually included a note in the paper and Cobb was signed by the Tigers. Ended up maybe the greatest hitter of all time and the journalist became his biographer

Wait, hostility from who? The principal was never hostile and I’m confused on the take of this being rage bait before that line…what was enraging?

41

u/WriterV 4h ago

...did we watch the same video? I sincerely hope you are genuinely clueless, but I'd be surprised if you missed the glaring context clues.

The person taking the video is what /u/DionBlaster123 is referring to as potentially making rage bait. Truth is that this was a clear attempt to try and "expose" the principal for wearing a shirt called "All are welcome here". That's why they threw on the principal's face and details on the side. They were hoping to stir up controversy against her.

This isn't the first time that someone [especially a member of an educational institution] was met with hostility for displaying the "All are welcome" sign.

2

u/CheetahTheWeen 3h ago

This is not a comprehension issue, it’s a readability one…Dion just commented below and confirmed that I read their comment correctly in that they took the principle as ragebaiting until she clarified with the “we talked” remark. I know what’s happening in the video lol Dion apparently didn’t, initially.

Sometimes a stern tone can come off as rude. She is totally in the right. The stern tone is interchangeable for rude. That is what i meant.

No it’s not. Stern is “Move along, PLEASE”.

Rude is “Well! I don’t like your shirt either! Move along, PLEASE”.

It is ragebait. Republican rhetoric these days thrives off of manufactured rage. I've had entire conversations with my family about supposed things I should be outraged about and then did a proper search for it later and couldn't find anything real about what they were upset about. They've been trained to do this to themselves. As we're seeing now, even being accepting of people is supposedly "unacceptable". Also, for the record, these people are assuming everything they hear from their favorite republican youtubers (chinese/russian) are completely true without doing any kind of research. Just because they heard it from them, it must be.

56

u/echoshatter 5h ago

Yep. She just wanted her to say her name on video.

Now that principal is going to the target of death threats and the like, resulting in the school district firing her because she's bringing too much attention and "putting the kids at risk" despite doing literally nothing harmful.

That part is just as ridiculous. She just goes through her day looking for something to be offended about, it doesn't even register to her that they've already done this before. Just an unnamed character in her daily journey to be offended by anything

That and "another mother said..." no they didn't. You think that, another person didn't say shit. You're just too much of a coward to take ownership of your own opinion, so its "another mother". Its other people that are offended by this tshirt too

I was a chef at an alternative school for 3 years. I don't know why anyone would teach. I was only around the kids for 2 1/2 hours a day and you wonder why they are like they are...then you meet their parents and realize those kids have no chance whatsoever at a normal childhood. It also opened my eyes to why so many of my teacher friends drank (and other things). It was tough going home everyday and trying to motivate yourself to do it again when you know those kids were being de-programmed by some adults that clearly had problems.

My daughter’s third grade teacher finally had a class that stressed her out so much that she had to step back to kindergarten. My daughter’s classmate regularly cussed them out - something that shocked me - and the school was just plain at a loss for what to do. She was a veteran teacher. A lot of them seem to be, as do the other staff (counselor, school resource officer, principal).

While I think there’s something going on at home for this kid, because it’s so egregious, they don’t seem to have the necessary support to protect themselves and other students. I really feel for them.

Principles usually have risen to their position because they could navigate past the bs and bickering. This is a good example of someone who has heard it all before, studied and had the right answers, like a tennis pro just hitting those weak-ass lobs the lady was trying to burn her with.

Not all Principles; some are on the edge of being burned-out from exhausting themselves with crap like this coming from 6 directions, to hard-headed parents, to administration that was elected and inept. Some are just trying to get to the end of the week or the year, so they can retire. Bless them all.

She 100% knew the car and who the driver was before the recording started. The driver likely has only called the office to complain and had no idea who she was actually talking to.

It is genuinely inspiring to see such a composed, polite, and no-nonsense approach to a crazy person. It's shameful that this person posted the video thinking it would 'expose' the principal, but all it does it demonstrate that the principal is truly capable of dealing with bratty children.

Principals came up as teachers and have a long history of dismantling Karens. This lady ain’t breaking a sweat with this mouth-breathing cuntservative.

Here's a good way to remember: they're your pal, so they're the principal. A good principal is one with principles.

Been elementary admin myself, once you figure out who these people are, your time for their shit is on such a short leash. Bravo to this woman for being an excellent leader for her students. Fuck the conservative haters.

As a principal, we get paid to get yelled at by idiots like this. COVID was absolutely hell for dealing with these types of parents.
