That’s nothing. My sister works at a KIPP school, and her principal–who brought the whole KIPP program to that state in the first place–embezzled money from the school and was dishonorably discharged (or fired, I guess you’d say, by the board of directors). QUITE the school scandal. The assistant principal took over for the rest of the school year, and he’s apparently quite the douchebag/not principal material. She says it was hushed up, I would think something like that would catch the eye of the local media, but I can’t find anything about it online. I’m not sure why one of the teachers hasn’t leaked it. ---

Despite the fact that I went to high school right near there, I’ve only ever been to Gilles’ maybe a half-dozen times.

My sister works at a KIPP school, and her principal–who brought the whole KIPP program to that state in the first place–embezzled money from the school and was dishonorably discharged (or fired, I guess you’d say, by the board of directors). You know, it’s hard to say which is worse. At least when they’re doing something so blatantly illegal you can get rid of them. It’s the insidious, nasty, but potentially still legal shit that’s often the most damaging, because there’s often no recourse for removal. ---

My father once overheard a school adminstrator giving a speech to a room full of other administrators. This was the opening ice-breaker. “How are teachers like mushrooms? Keep 'em in the dark and shit on 'em enough; they’ll do just fine.” HAR HAR HAR. ---

> [@Tibagirl](#): > > I misunderstood. I was under the assumption that this was a forum fair venting. I vented. Now I’m accused of writing poorly, being uneducated ( I’ve got a Masters, but I suppose, since I vented, that degree is meaningless). I have no relationship with the principal, do not hate men, am not in junior high school, nor any of the other ridiculous assumptions. As far as the exploding boobs… Fact: the country is getting fatter by the minutes. Young ladies who put on weight, gain it all over, including their breasts. If you’ve been anywhere near teenagers lately, you’ll have noticed the tank tops, with skinny straps. Put a girl who is 25+ pounds overweight into a tank top, and her boobs will have a hard time being confined. > Snark all you like. Jesus Fucking Christ! Go talk to an English teacher and have them explain to you how and where to use a comma. Hint: It’s NOT every third word! ---

I only see one incorrect comma there, plus an unpaired “nor”. It’s not the most stylistically elegant thing ever, but seriously? ---

Go talk to an English teacher and have them explain to you how and where to use a comma. Jesus fucking christ! There was only \*one \*comma in that entire quoted section that absolutely shouldn’t have been used (“weight, gain”). Understand punctuation yourself before you try to critique someone else’s. ---
