So true....no accountability.

So true….no accountability….and no sense or acknowledgement that any is even necessary.

When I was at Bailey Jr. High for gym class we had Coach Stowers.
Coach Stowers kept in his back pocket a thick, black plastic handle
with a piece of a fan belt attached to it with electrical tape.

You got very familiar with it if you behaved questionably.

We need Coach Stowers back..or people like him!

My wife is a middle school teach in Madison County, and this is totally accurate. She has been cursed by a parent who believes her baby can do no wrong.

My children envied the kids that got hit. It was over fairly quickly.

Having to do manual labor or lose privileges was far worse but, more importantly, first they had to learn why their behavior was dysfunctional to all concerned.


The violent kids have already learned violence for control and punishment at home and neglect in their development at home.

Turning teachers into bullies by using physical harm as a threat is how bullies learn to bully others and why less perceptive children learn only how to use violence to control others as adults. Like at home, it's quick and requires no investment of interest in the child or time by the teacher.

And, getting attention, even negative attention, from adults is the "thrill" for the child. They manage to upset an adult just like adults in their lives had upset them or they have evaded adult notice and gotten "by" with bad behaviors.

But,this stuff requires adults to think and do rather than just be emotional reactors in their lives. Exhausting to be so "worked up" all the time. Aren't you tired yet? And worse, it's likely you won't get to retire from parenting with full benefits.

As a teacher at Clinton public school this is typical of a new family to Clinton public schools that came from a JPS school. Mom mad I made her daughter take a test on her birthday and another mom mad her son gets homework almost every weekend. Clearly JPS is very different than Clinton schools.

!0:23. "..they had to learn why their behavior was dysfunctional to all concerned." Hahaha! The willow switch and leather belt really shortened our learning curve to be in the the immediate moment.

Much of your unique phrasing and terms gives us a glimpse of your hidden PHD. Hope your not-so-subtle attempt to tell everyone else how wrong they are with their parenting styles makes it in to your upcoming instructional books.

10:23 in some ways you’re right but in some ways you’re wrong. When we lose discipline in school is when you have other students not being able to learn and that’s a problem. I know public schools are being softened and I’ve heard from a family member who has 4 students at a certain private school in Jackson that by allowing students with “scholarships” to enter their doors has caused disruption in learning and of slowing down the learning process. The teachers are warned not to discipline the “scholarship athletes” yet all the while bearing down hard on the students who pull their weight in class and who are disciplined. You get the picture. It has nothing to do with bullying. It has to do with color of skin.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time.
