If the Internet existed when I was in grade school and a teacher blogged about me in this manner, my father would pull me aside and want to know what my problem was.

The Central Bucks School District has suspended a high school English teacher after parents complained to administrators about her blog in which she railed on her students for more than a year. Phrases on the blog include; “Frightfully dim,” “Rat-like,” “Am concerned your kid is going to open fire on the school,” “I hate your kid,” and “Seems smarter than she actually is.”

Then, he would have scheduled a parent-teacher conference with me there so my lack of performance could be discussed in detail. That’s the position my father would have taken unlike today’s boneheaded parents who defend their brats ’til they open fire on the school.
