Give Me A Break! ... It's Okay To Lie???

BeenThinkin · #1 02-21-2011, 06:04 PM

I can't believe what I just heard on the news. A teacher took a personal day off from school today, in WI, to take her kids to the state house to see Democracy in action! Oh, yea!

Let's see if I understand.

Kids watch and listen.

If you don't get your way in life just grab your toys and go home, (or better yet, go across the state line where no one can reach you). That's right... it's okay to run away. Don't accept your responsibilities, just run away! You'll be very successful in life..."just running away!" If you have a problem with your mom and dad just run away. If you have a problem with your brother or sister...just run away! When you get married and your spouse doesn't agree with you, "just run away!"

And best of all you can learn from this experience here at the capital,"it's finally okay to LIE!"

If you don't want to go to school just make up a lie and tell your teacher that you're sick. And there are lying doctors now who will give you a written excuse to back up your lie.

I guess the teachers in WI are getting the kids ready for our college system. They will be so much better prepared for the liberal professors and teachers, and will already know how to get their way and how to lie and be proud of it.

What has this world come to?

I'm confused too. She took a personal day to take her kids to the capital. So? Where's the lie?

frog, what's your question? If you don't know the answer to the lying teachers, where have you been! And if you don't know about the doctors writing excuses for the teachers that lied you must have been across the state line with the politicians!

Did I say she lied? Her fellow teachers that took off because they were "sick" were the liars and she was taking her kids to watch them picket under a false pretense. You and frog will try to defend any thing liberal, regardless!!!

So, is it that she took a vacation day? Or is it that her kids had to skip school?

I don't see what any of that has to do with running away from responsibility.

I condone it.

You should consider including relevant details in your posts. Just sayin'

Didn't know I had to write a book!

My point is simply this.... Instead of lying in front of the kids, (and the kids know the lies) and instead of condoning and supporting politicians who run instead of staying put and doing their jobs, they should be teaching honesty and dependability!

All I know about the stuff going on is that something is going on and Michigan is a state. I'm sorry I've had my head too far up my own business to keep up with national news.

So, back to your post. I read it. I took it at face value. And I asked a question. Ok? Your title says "It's Okay To Lie???" Then you talked about a teacher taking a personal day to take her kids to the capital. So then I asked where's the lie? Don't have to chew me up and spit me out, thanks though.
