Philebrity Wonders: Will One Local Sixth Grade Teacher Go Straight To Hell For Allowing “Trucky Niggets” To Go Online?

I don’t think we’re letting any cats out of any bags here: Philadelphia Public Schools can often leave a lot to be desired. And yes, every class has a dunce or two. And yes again, saying “trucky niggets” is kinda funny, especially when you’re trying to speak/spell “turkey nuggets.” And that’s where it all gets sad: Somewhere, a kid out there is at least trying. He’s showing up. He’s doing his homework. And somewhere else today, a teacher, especially one who’d violate what I’m sure is some kind of major rule about NOT putting your own students up as objects of ridicule, has gotta be feeling pretty low. We hope the feeling sticks for a bit.

    I can say, as the former roommate of 2 Philadelphia Public School teachers, that while this may not actually be from a Philly school, it’s not far off. My poor friends, they can only do so much.

    1) i laughed at first because “trucky niggets” just sounds really cute, and would be funny if it were written by a kid under the age of eight.
    2) i then proceeded to get very sad, almost to the point of tears, because that kid is trying and it’s terrible to ridicule that.
    3) despite the context, the nature of this note led me to again waste time on foundmagazine.com and now i am stiffling laughter due to this gem: http://www.foundmagazine.com/comments/1076
    4) i’m also thinking yeah dude, you’re right. school lunch does mostly suck.

    I used to eat trucky niggets with the doozer in DE, they were delicious.

    I read once that when people’s handwriting changes slant back and forth it means they’re mentally unstable/psychotic. Sharswood Elementary might want to upgrade this kid’s niggets ASAP.
