| 2 | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended HimHey, man, I appreciate the follow-up. I can definitely see where you're coming from and I am definitely offended by teachers/school administrators that let bullying occur. My hope is that it isn't as widespread as some folks fear that is. Either way it is definitely something to remain vigilant on. If you ever have any questions on the topic or on some of the things we're doing (at least in my district) to address those issues, I'll do what I can to explain it. Thanks for not assuming all teache… | /r/MensRights | 29/03/15 04:57 PM |
| 1 | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended HimYou and I are arguing on two entirely different topics. You're not addressing mine and I am apparently unable to address yours in a way that satisfies you. I don't owe you any explanations or details and, quite frankly, you've shown me that regardless of what I say, you're going to continue to lump all teachers into the same group. That's a shame. But, ultimately, it's whatever helps you sleep better at night. As I said, good luck and once again I apologize for being harsh earlier. | /r/MensRights | 29/03/15 06:33 AM |
| 1 | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended HimYeah. That's not happening. You lost the moral and academic high ground with that, my friend. It's a shame you can't take a step back and see why. Good luck to you in the future. | /r/MensRights | 29/03/15 06:21 AM |
| 1 | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended HimSo I’m writing this and copying it down as a response to two separate threads as the message I’m trying to get across is the same in both accounts. First, I apologize that I came off as strongly as I did. After talking with my significant other about this (and getting some outside perspective) I can see where we seem to be miscommunicating and where my words can be perceived as being hurtful rather than helpful. Second, my issue was that you both were lumping teachers into one large group, claim… | /r/MensRights | 29/03/15 04:35 AM |

| 1 | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended Him"See, this is the problem. "Bullying is bad" wasn't ever my argument. My argument was that schools deny that bullying happens, and that teachers are complicit in that. That the education system is the problem here because it has a policy of denial." And I'm arguing that you can't say that all teachers are complicit in that. You just can't. You also can't say that the education system has a policy of denial. Do you not see where your mistakes are? You are saying that 100% of all teachers and 100%… | /r/MensRights | 29/03/15 03:47 AM |
| – | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended Him"That's all he's been since the beginning. He's flat out denying that anything is wrong with the education system itself and will not hear otherwise." Didn't we talk about you not making statements that have no basis in anything that I've said? "He won't accept or respond to any of your valid points, and will instead just pick on whatever weak points he thinks he can find." You had no valid points. Or, at the very least, none that were relevant to the discussion at hand. Is bullying bad? Of cour… | /r/MensRights | 29/03/15 03:05 AM |
| 0 | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended HimIt's not minimizing something when it is a minority. That's kind of the definition. "Whatever your opinion, don't deny the fact that this is a real problem and everyone in that system has failed to address it adequately." ...again... did you just skip over what I wrote? Of course bullying is a problem and it's not okay. In fact I said so above, below, and on numerous occasions throughout this threat. You cannot lump everyone in the system into the issue because that's not logically (or logistica… | /r/MensRights | 29/03/15 02:47 AM |
| – | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended HimAnd, much like the individual below, you're bringing in a topic that is no way relevant to the actual comment that I made at the beginning of this thread. Regardless, I'll address it briefly. At no point have I said that bullying isn't a problem or isn't something that should cause concern. Are you going to hear stories about kids getting bullied? Yes. Why? Because it makes for a fantastic story and gets page hits/views/watches. Because it's easy to get folks to rally up against a system and set… | /r/MensRights | 29/03/15 02:09 AM |
| 0 | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended HimFor fuck sake, man. Nowhere, at any point, did I say "there's nothing wrong with the education system" or "we're on the same side". Yes. Please. Either learn to read completely and try not to include red herring statements/ignore responses that are clearly in contrast to how you're quoting me, or do give up on this dialogue. Or you could just be a massive troll. Regardless, whatever floats your boat I suppose. | /r/MensRights | 29/03/15 01:30 AM |
| – | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended HimAnd yet you seem to be missing those basic concepts yourself... "So rather than deflecting my points with logical fallacy arguments, and claiming that there is no cultural issue within schools, why not use your position of authority to join those who want to bring change to the system?" ...did you just not read any of my responses? Or are you intentionally ignoring what I've said so you can continue to make the claims that, I assume, you feel put you on the moral high ground? At no point did I d… | /r/MensRights | 29/03/15 12:14 AM |
| – | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended HimRight. So... I was in the process of writing a long winded response when I realized that what you're trying to argue is in no way related to what my original comments were related to. We refer to that as a red herring. I should have picked up on it above but got caught up in the emotions. I'll leave you with this: It's a shame that you were bullied and know others who have been. I have not said at any point that bullying does not occur within schools. Nor have I said that bullying is acceptable.… | /r/MensRights | 28/03/15 11:24 PM |
| 1 | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended HimI don't know. I kind of get the impression that it's that whole premise of the extremely vocal minority vs. the majority. Polarization and all that jazz. But I can appreciate where you're coming from. I'm glad you had some teachers though that left a good impression. Those are the ones that bring a lot of hope to the cause! Thanks for the dialogue! | /r/MensRights | 28/03/15 10:58 PM |
| – | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended Him...did you guys forget the first rules of logic? If you're going to make a logical argument you first have to make sure you don't set it up through fallacies... What are you basing your claim off of? One anecdote from one individual who is no longer working in the system? And where are you getting this whole "denying bullying" thing? I would hope that you realize there are strict rules in place which compel teachers to report bullying. Failing to do so is most certainly grounds for termination a… | /r/MensRights | 28/03/15 10:54 PM |
| 1 | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended HimOh I won't argue it would be nice for the students to have more of that. I find that it's necessary to pick the battles carefully though. Do I spend the three minutes it would take to verbally dissuade the student acting out in an attempt to get attention from her/his peers or, do I ignore that, push forward with the lesson, and hope that given my lack of response/acknowledgement the student eventually stops being a disruption. It's a tough call a lot of times. From my experience, I've chosen to… | /r/MensRights | 28/03/15 07:29 PM |
| – | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended HimActually, I am. North Carolina. Home of the bible belt and all things generally geared towards private/charter schools and less towards the public education system. | /r/MensRights | 28/03/15 06:48 PM |
| – | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended HimI agree that suspending the student for the haircut doesn't help in his learning. In fact, if you'll look above, nowhere did I state otherwise. Judging from your comments and fallacies of the argument, you've gone off the deep end of rational thought there. You don't know me, or the folks I work with, and I'd wager you don't know many teachers outside of the ones you've imagined in your head. My suggestion in this case would be to do a bit more research, perhaps even ask to visit some local scho… | /r/MensRights | 28/03/15 06:44 PM |
| – | Boy Got a Haircut Like His Military Step-Brother, School Suspended HimThat's a bit of a sweeping generalization isn't it? The school administrator is the one who caused such a ruckus about this. As a teacher I can definitely vouch for the lack of logical consideration by school/district administration. There is definitely the potential for them to get in a huff about the most asinine, pointless shit. The teachers, at least in my experience, have fucks that are less than or equal to zero when it comes to situations like this. Their primary concern is the education … | /r/MensRights | 28/03/15 01:47 PM |
