It's apparently the school system's solution to bathroom vandalism. Because you can't kick kids out for criminal conduct anymore (that's discriminatory). So, since we can't treat criminals like criminals, we have to just treat *everybody* like criminals.
If I had a kid and he came home from school and told this story, I'd tell him next time just quietly walk to the back of the classroom and piss in the corner. Perhaps that will force them reconsider their policy.
I would have gone with inner cat. Only because we have three and the two males have been permanently moved outdoors (in an enclosed back yard) because of just this sort of behavior.
And we don't even require QR codes for the litterbox.
so true. the poop is the worst. I use a spray nozzle from the hose spicket to wash out the mouth of my youngest dog. He got the lesson. No more poop eating. But he did get in a fight with an armadillo yesterday. Ridiculous.
Armadillos are fast. A good practice wild animal. Raccoons? They are another story.
Watch for poop sneaking. This dog we have now used to try to secret them into the house by holding them gently in her mouth (so she would not crush them). Luckily she also wears her feelings on her face (poop face is guilt) so I could turn her around, shove her out the door and demand she drop it. So disgusting. Glad she doesn't do that anymore. Now, just lizards. Same face.
Our 16 year old Parson's Terrier has not lived a blameless life, but generally she's a good girl. A besetting sin, however, is her tendency to drift over to the litter box when she's not being watched. She has a taste for Kitty Roca, as we call it.
On my grade cards the teachers would say; "Ryan is not afraid to say anything, it might be best if he learns to govern his thoughts"
It's like they passed the same note to each successive teacher in grade school. I remember thinking; well this is a little hypocritical, because they told us that there were no wrong questions.
By 5th and 6th grade, I was just doing it to see if they added any nuance to their feedback.
One of the most important is the capture of the "4th" estate by the regime...and by manipulating language. Resulting in Total power over the Word giving the Master of the Word a magical power over all communications.
We even seem to have added a new feature. As opposed to Totalitarianism, the tail is now wagging the dog.
I'm not sure we've seen that combination in history. Makes me curious enough to research.
I'm not even gonna ask why someone needs a QR code to use the bathroom.

That was pretty much what I said!
A bit trickier for a girl though.
Yeah! Gotta keep in touch with your inner dog!...;)

You always give a chuckle
Right back at ya. Humor is the only mechanism we possess to endure the endless madness. The more sardonic the better.
Don't eat your own barf, poop or rocks.

That is funny and disgusting. Mostly funny.
Thanks, well, my sense of humor is generally a mix of funny and disgusting.
Isn't socialism wonderful?
Interesting that the Irish girls did better on the little quiz questions than the Americans.
I dated a Frenchman when in college. His schooling was vastly superior to my own. It was eye-opening.
Yes. Like having an awful sunburn on an ill advised first date with an emotional tampon.
You do have a way with words, Ryan!
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
I really didn't need that imagery!
whoops....neither did I.

FWIW, every class had one, and the rest of us quiet students loved you for saying what we were all thinking...
I wasn't always being altruistic, but usually.
It got to the point where other kids would ask me to ask something ....or to point it out.
I just laugh at it now. My children are the same way; perhaps with some smoother edges though.
Yeah, thanks for the visual.
I have a retort in mind, but I wouldn't want to drag this metaphor any further down into the gutter.
> That's not socialism. It's totalitarianism.
...and what, exactly, is the practical difference between the two?
Lots.

Well stated.
I would add that while Totalitarianism is possible without Socialism/Communism the inverse is not.
You are correct.
Socialism can only be implemented by totalitarians.
Ooops. You beat me to it.
Hey! Sounds like TSA! And if you donтАЩt want to participate, you can stay home in your pod with bugs for food and they win anyway.
