I was going through old documents on my computer the other day and stumbled on some writing a did about two years ago. I was attempting to put together some ideas for a book (it never got past page 5) with some rants about society. I don't know if it is actually funny at all, but I figured I would share. Below is just a small part of what I found - hope you enjoy!
(note I did not make any changes to what I found - so excuse any poor grammar/sentence structure that you may find.)
".....Here's an example for you, and a true story example (might I add): A girl gets in trouble in her biology class for cheating on a test. How did she cheat you might ask?...notes snuck under the table, maybe written on the desk, or maybe she was looking at notes on her hand- that has got to be it! (students love writing all over thier hands, arms, and even legs)-but sadly you are all wrong on all of those guesses. She was in fact using her cell phone. Oh, okay, so she had answers written in her phone's note pad- smart girl. Wrong again. Her mother was texting her answers, HER MOTHER?! Realy?! Come on mom get a grip, it is just a 10th grade Science test, and I am sure you don't know the answers either, unless you are sitting at home with an extra copy of the textbook because Sally Lou doesn't want to have a heavy backpack and gets extra copies of all her books. Okay totally beside the point, there are so many things wrong with this story-for one my mom would never have bothered to even text me back in a situation such as this. Come to think of it I don't think our first cell phone even had texting. And, that's right I said our phone-meaning my mother, father and myself all shared one cell phone (gasp!) I know so unheard of now -since 2nd graders are getting own phones now in days- again please get a grip people. Your child is in school for about 6ish hours a day, they do not need a phone! There are pay phones and school office phones for student use if they miss the bus or you forget to pick them up. Honestly all this cell phone business is just nuts. There are days I want to take my phone turn it off and throw it in a dark hole. However-then e-mails, texts, calls and of course facebook would not be within my reach. What a damn shame. Alright so what was my point? Ah yes- do not text your child during class and help them cheat on a test! It is just high school, it will be okay if you don't get a perfect, you will still go to college, and be sucessful- I promise! The moral of this -when I was your age mom didn't let me take a cell phone to school, and mom didn't do my homework/take tests/help me cheat...although dad might have helped me once...okay total joke, you get my point though, or maybe you don't - the point is if your kid doesn't put in the work let them fail, learn, and then pick themselves back up. They will survive I promise."
