    Seriously, I only posted this

    to post this





    Jerry. Hi.

    (Elaine takes her coat off and walks into kitchen)
    Elaine: Well! If it isn't mister gesuntheit!

    (George walks out of kitchen)
    George: Oh ya, like there's something wrong with saying 'God bless you'. I
    was raised to say 'God bless you'.

    (Jerry sneezes)
    George: Ah, shut up.

    Elaine: What does it mean anyway? 'God bless you'. It's a stupid
    'stuperstition'.

    (Elaine sits on sofa, George sits on arm of sofa)
    Jerry: A stupid what?

    (Elaine looks at Jerry)
    Elaine: Whatever.

    Jerry: You know, if you want to make a person feel better after they sneeze,
    you shouldn't say 'God bless you', you should say, 'You're soo good
    lookin''.

    This dude needs an attitude adjustment.

    Arbitrary and stupid way to affect a kid's grades.

    Concentrate on teaching kids, not trying to stamp out age old cultural memes.

    And not very professional, taking away from an earned grade for saying bless you?

    As a parent, I would be right in his office...uh....discussing it with him rather aggressively.

    "When you sneeze, that's your sole trying to escape. Saying God bless you crams it back in."

    yeah, that was me. One thing I hate is people saying "bless you" even though I say it every time someone sneezes.

    Do they let just any moron become a teacher?
    Well, actually I've had first hand experiences of completely **** teachers before. Shouldn't surprise me.

    And that's why you save up for private school. Problem, complaint, fired. I don't even blame the principal or superintendent for not dealing with this, too much other stuff going on especially in a district presumably as populous as one in Cali.
