An Ipswitch, Ma., middle-school principal has canceled his school’s
annual honors assembly because it Stupiditywas too upsetting for some
students. Boston’s Fox affiliate reports the explanation of Principal David
Fabrizio, the man at the center of the silliness:
“Honors Night, which can be a great sense of pride for the recipients’
families, can also be devastating to a child who has worked extremely hard
in a difficult class but who, despite growth, has not been able to maintain
a high grade point average.”
Fabrizio also justified his decision by claiming it was unfair to reward
good grades — which can be be influenced by the home environment and
supportive parents — because not all of students have access to equal
amounts of academic and emotional support.
Middle school must be a breeding ground for educators who've lost their
collective minds:
The 900 students at Matawan-Aberdeen Middle School in Cliffwood, N.J.,
will have to find another way to show affection after the principal declared
the campus a “no hugging school”.
Principal Tyler Blackmore issued the mandate after the school observed
“some incidents of unsuitable, physical interactions between students,”
the school district said in a statement.
“We have a responsibility to teach children about appropriate
interactions and about having a structured, academically focused environment
,” David M. Healy, superintendent of the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School
District, said in a statement.
Healy said the students, who range in ages 11 to 14, would not be
suspended for hugging.
Matawan-Aberdeen joins the company of a handful of schools across the
United States that have instituted no hugging rules.
Wait, there's one more, this one an elementary school:
A county in Maryland is putting limits on some of the trappings of
elementary school: Hugs from grown-ups are restricted, birthday-party
invitations are banned, and no more bringing cupcakes for the whole class.
Parents who visit the 17 elementary schools in St. Mary’s County are
still allowed to hug their own children, just not other kids. Only parents
registered as volunteers are allowed on the playground, and even then they
can’t push other people’s kids on the swings.
“What’s OK with some families is not OK with others,” Kelly Hall, the
district’s executive director of elementary schools, told NBC News on
Tuesday.
Societal decay... it's on display. | m********a

但是，现在是各种借口无限扩展到无边无际的地步了。
