About Jen

Jen isn't quite sure when she lost her mind, but it is probably documented here on Meditatio. She blogs because the world needs her snark at all hours of the night... and she probably can't sleep anyway.

I Honestly Am Not That Surprised

Sex scandal strikes Leland High School: Chemistry teacher accused of having sex with two female students

Considering all the junk that went on when I was a student that the administration conveniently ignored, I’m not surprised. They didn’t really act on anything unless there was a chance of a lawsuit. I was sexually harassed for 3 1/2 years and the administration did nothing until my parents threatened to sue.

I’m also sad to say that I don’t think it was the teacher who necessarily initiated some of it. The school was the cheating capital of the western hemisphere and I wouldn’t put it past some students to offer sex for grades since quite a few of my classmates have no consciences. This teacher shouldn’t have done what he did; but I also don’t think some of the victims were entirely innocent.

The Password

Thanks to some recent whiny emails I’ve gotten, I’ve had to revise my password policy. Basically, if you’re on my blogroll, I’ll give you the password. If you’re not, email me and IF you meet the followinig conditions:

a.) I know you
b.) I approve of you reading the more private stuff on my site
c.) you aren’t someone who will make my real life a living hell

I might give you the password. Does this clear the matter up?

Prayer Shawls

The WELCA at one of Jon’s churches is considering doing prayer shawls. Even if they don’t do them, I’ve started making one on my own which will likely go to Sheila’s Shawls. It might be good to also have one or two on hand for parishioners who lose family members…

(It’s a new-agey website but whatever prayers I’ll include will be from the LBW or LW.)

Spanking

I’m watching a marathon of “SuperNanny” on ABC Family and I’m seeing some effective methods of discipline that do not involve spanking.

So… I want to throw the question out to all y’all: should you spank your child? Leave the answer in my comments.

If you respond to anyone else’s comment, be polite or your comment will be deleted.
