Dad punishes kids for bad grades

[Disciplined Galt]

You and @Leigh should have an engineer-off

Difference is that I'm civil, thank you Leigh, good game.

Meanwhile the dad can't even speak with proper English. You wonder why these kids get bad grades. Shitty neighborhood, wannabe thug rappers because the morons they listen to advocate everything but education.

Ya fuck that guy for trying to give his kids a better life.

And most fathers and mothers are dumber than their kids, thus trying to make them do better. The guy even mentions 'that's what thugs do' and you go on to mention thugs and rappers (where did that come from) as if you heard nothing the guy even said.

This guy is father of the year in his 'bad' neighborhood. We should all be so lucky to have somebody like that, bad English and all.

I think he was more pissed off at that one the most cos he had most of the later consonants of the alphabet.

Who gets an S?

I didn't pay attention to the grades other than hearing the S also. My school district was weird. Our grades were E S M I F until the school district changed across the board when I was going in to 8th grade. This was in the early 90's. I didn't think anyone still used that system.

I did some searching and found this on wikipedia....

This system has largely been replaced by the five-point system discussed above, but is still encountered quite often at the elementary school level, particularly in kindergarten and Grades 1 through 3 (these levels comprising the lower division of primary school). It is also occasionally used at schools for older children, including high schools, especially in the issuance of conduct or citizenship grades.

• E (Excellent)
• S (Satisfactory)
• M (Mediocre)
• I (Insufficient)
• F (Failure)

The S grade may be so modified with an S+ or S−, but otherwise plus and minus are seldom used.

Thank you, bro, that makes sense.

I thought I heard he got a "B" so I assumed some teacher really wanted to rub it in with the" L", "M" and "S " XD

Whilst it is commendable that this guy is keen to see his kids do well, I kinda see @Pitbull3744 's point. Kids learn by example. The dad would have more success if he corrected his speech and made an effort to educate himself.

And maybe he is, who knows? But the cultures that breed successful kids are typically the ones whose methods of discipline we generally disagree with. Think of the average successful person (college graduate with a real career) - how many ass beatings do you think they took?

Half the immigrant parents in this country with successful kids don't even speak English. I find it incredibly nitpicky to focus in on his language and miss the message.

Do you have any statistics regarding the education level of the parents of successful people?

It seems pretty obvious to me that coming from an educated family provides you with a level of privilege but you're free to disagree.

I'm being general, not quoting stats. We all know well-adjusted kids who's parents don't speak English. Hell, my barber doesn't speak English outside of 'what's up bro'. I just think we're nitpicking for no good reason. This is the type of thing people would say 'why bother' since you know somebody is just going to try to tear you down.

Sure but just because people succeed despite their parents, doesn't mean an educated family isn't advantageous.

I didn't mean to portray a "why bother" attitude and I clearly stated that his efforts were commendable. My point is that educating HIMSELF would be a significant help to his kids. The "do as I say, not as I do" approach isn't very effective.

I agree successful parents often breed successful children, I just think that we see so few positive examples out there I'm willing to overlook when somebody is trying to do the right thing. He's saying to stay away from crime and get good grades, and clearly he's willing to make a point over it. He may not make it there with his kids but he will ensure they do.

I'm not judging him at all. It's not about "overlooking" - I'm simply stating, as you agree, that success breeds success and it would help his goals to educate himself. I'm making an objective statement, not a subjective one.

I'm good with that, Leigh.
