Gentleman's Clubs? That's so sexist.. rabble rabble rabble

They all look like tiny little adults.

Having someone respectable to look up to is a real key piece in growing up into someone respectable. +1

That's a great idea. Good job.

This is what we need more of in society

I shook hands today with a guy my age, and his girlfriend had a better grip than him. This guy is doing God's work.
aptatlas
Good idea...horrible name.
titanc13
that one white kid tho
gbrown29410
It's good and all but he took the idea from a fellow police officer who is a SRO that started a program years before him.
Dyslexicfartcracker
I like this. Faith in humanity restored. We need more teachers like this. Someone who truly loves there job.

not usually, but I couldn't let a comment about needing better teachers, with a grammar error in it, go without comment. :)

This would be a great way for law enforcement to get involved with their community!

gentleman's club sounds like a euphemism for strip club
GregoryPartridge
Their Dad's are most likely at a different kind of Gentleman's Club

If there were more news articles on things like this rather than the few terrible accidents that keep happening, there wouldn't be an issue.
justherefortheshitposting
And of course zero news coverage b/c no narrative to spin and no people being killed. Forget hoods and cops, fuck the press.
Asentum
I'm 19. Grew up fatherless and I wish I had this in elementaru school because I don't know jack shit about ties, or anything like that.
SonOfKazar
Fathers are overrated. I have a father, all I learned was how to dodge a wrench. Made me a hell of a dodgeball player though, I suppose.
LieutenantGordon
There should be 'how to people' classes like this in all schools.
ingelri
Disagreed, the school shouldn't be your dad and mum
IfUrGonnaEavesdropPayAttention
Compassion steps in, dissent begins. Yeah, you're right, but what're ya gonna do: nothing. Thank you teachers and people who give a shot.
Venturite
They used to have those. People got kinda pissed about 'traditional gender roles' being enforced by the classes.
cantsleepclownilleatme
Fuck, I'd take one of those now. I'm 27.
hoofbeatsandsnowflakes
I work for an organization that works with middle school and high school girls in poverty areas and that is pretty much what we teach
miraglo
When I was younger the Catholic Education system had classes that taught Courtesy, Compassion, Caring and I can't remember the rest 1/?
miraglo
But basically we had classes that were all about being respectful, confident and how to communicate in the world. The teaching module 2/?
miraglo
for it has evolved since it started in 2003 to include how to behave online etc etc 3/3
spiderqueendemon
My one teacher had deportment lessons every Friday. We always looked forward to them, because there was better food.
spiderqueendemon
Fridays were when the special needs kids got long recess, so we had deportment inside. It was basically adulting lessons. Cooking, budgets,1
spiderqueendemon
how to negotiate, how to plan a project, how to price-compare, that sort of thing. All improvised by the legendary Mrs. Davis.
spiderqueendemon
There was always something to eat, because we went over table and party manners, and we often made it ourselves from a simple recipe.
spiderqueendemon
We would make the dish or watch it being made, then we would eat with our best manners as Mrs. Davis lectured on an adulting topic.
LittleSilverKitsune
This is awesome! I have two sons and I'm raising gentlemen not punks
bigbowliofravioli
Even kids with dads need this. Some people just dont raise their kids
ZOMGNO
Sometimes its because they weren't taught it either. There is a reason it takes a village to raise a kid... its to plug the knowledge gaps
FoxySpirit
Worse: raise them wrong. You can have self esteem and individuality when you learned to do things right and are successful. Thanks dad :-\
lordwank
Dad is doctor and works 13 hrs a day 7 days a week. Can confirm
Moonblaze
I'm kinda glad mine was never part of my life, he would've probably fucked it up more.
Unfapthomable
Same. But my step dad stepped up for the most part.
DenounceAll
Nope. In almost every case, studies have shown a bad parent present is better than none. Don't abandon yo kids, just show up.
TheThunderDoane
Mom: "Where were you after school today?" Son: "Mr. Thompson started a gentleman's club for us at school" Mom: "THE FUCK?!"
ExoDom
Mom is that you ?
bigeasy44
These kids are gonna be confused when they see a gentlemen's club in the real world.
AdmJota
I'm hoping that it's a 19th century sort of gentleman's club.

For a second I thought it was a control freak mom who'd say she can raise a boy all by herself.
ForgetAboutThis
Is it not?
Okibi09
A gentleman's club is another name for a strip club.
ForgetAboutThis
Oh, I didn't know.Thanks.

Solomon13
A strip-joint, mate.
aPokal
While in the past a gentleman club was a male exclusive, members and employees, high class bar and restaurant, this days it's understood as
aPokal
a strip club and/or brothel. But traditional clubs do still exist. Where you get in either as son of one or recommended by a few members.
TieMeUpNow
Gentleman's club = stripper club
aPokal
A club just for strippers? Do they workshops or battles/tournaments? Or just a profession exclusive bar?
ShentoSama
Yes.
JohnathanJacobJinglySchmidt
It's more about networking and making connections

It's mainly for psychic and fire type trainers. After battling each other for a while they move on to the elite four.

MrRagerXV
why all the negativity about the one white kid? why is everthing about race? i see fatherless children and a teacher stepping up,
gistyle
mend0k
I didn't even see the white kid until I read ur post
7heGunslinger
I'm just glad there were no "4 eyes" comments. Finally peeps with astigmatism are gaining acceptance. Definitely restored faith in humanity
thorkild91
Man. I purposefully wear my glasses with super minor prescription for night driving cuz I look super as fuck
thorkild91
Super sexy. I meant to say super sexy
YeahLinguisticsBitch
I see ONE comment about that, and then one that's obviously a joke. What "negativity"?
MrRagerXV
i saw this in usersub at the point of seeing it there were more negative than positive remarks jokingly or not. hence my statement.
SubZeroWithAFever
Yes but this one isn't. Let things change and don't bring up the past. Hakunamatata
tittiemcjiggleboots
It's mostly regarding his Andy Sipowitz-like short sleeve shirt, while the other kids have long sleeves.
frosty147
Yep. It's a problem that affects the black community disproportionately, and that deserves discussion. However, part of that discussion 1/
frosty147
should include solutions, like this teacher, who is KILLING THE GAME. I wish I could give this guy a high five. What a fantastic idea. 2/2
MrRagerXV
yall need to get your act together and get of this race train, shits going nowhere but down
FriskyFoxie
I was just about to rag on him for his shirt, but that's about it.
mcsammymc
Regardless of ethnicity, we need more men to step up and show boys how to act like men. Way to go SC school teacher.
xypc
But first we need someone to show that men how to act in public, etc.)))
MrsMFM
SC is in the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to teacher pay. Teachers need raises.
CrunchyLookingLeaf
"Act like men" is subjective
mcsammymc
My man, you stepped into the way back machine to reply to this comment.
rhymeswithbanana02
This is something my husband does for his students during their enrichment period. They are middle schoolers learning budgeting, 1/2

How to tie ties, how to dress professionally, and other important life skills

hey now there's at least one white kid in the photo above
aleister94
My dad was generally against me doing things like eye contact
HighSlayerRalton
Who said anything about ethnicity?
mcsammymc
The posters that singled out the white kid.
HighSlayerRalton
But... why?
mcsammymc
I don't know why they did?
Djjazzyhorn
Or we could have better fathers from the start so other men don't have to do it
SpoilFlunk
Even dead fathers?!
HarryHamwallet
It is literally what is trying to be accomplished here...
DuggFunnie
Stop incentivizing women to kick men out of the welfare for increased benefits
shawnemack
This is how you do that. It's too hard to turn bad dads into good dads, though worth the effort. This creates good dads for the next gen
Carefuler
Makes you wonder why mom wanted to be with someone who in many cases was obviously going to be a shit dad.
UniSoul
Sounds like this is right on track :) big changes are always generational
exarkun00720
Exactly this. In order to have better fathers the new generation must be taught. We all want better fathers now but it takes time.
thomasisabigfatweiner
Even if all fathers were perfect (which will never happen), this would still be a great idea for those who's fathers have passed away
TraitorousTrump3
Or never knew they were fathers.
Carefuler
Then you have "Uncles" and "Grandfathers".
SpacialWhale
I don't know why you're getting down voted. My grandfather helped raise me. And an "uncle" can be a friends father.
LondonBridgeHasFallen
Yeah but not every kid would have an uncle, and the grandfather could have also passed away.
Carefuler
That's a lot of kids for all that to have happened to in one school in one town.
Carefuler
Those are usually called "Fathers".
SchitzzPoppinov
I know a some that would say that statement is "sexist" -currently dating one
mcsammymc
Women can't show boys how to be men. They can make them good people but not demonstrate how to be a man.
fedthepoopy
Yeah, and some of them grow up to be Lebron James
stygyan
By "being a man" you mean... (elaborate your answer, please).
cdmpants
So glad someone said this.
midd1eearth
Seconded, as a male raised by a single mom. She is an angel whom I love, yet...
Solomon13
Boys need a masculine role model to teach them how to do things, and how to conduct themselves.
midd1eearth
I would tell that person to fuck off, then defeat that person with logic until that person wished to die from shame. Fuck them, no offense.

There is tons of programs aimed at girls. Boys are getting left behind.
yourCleverUsername10
This should be more standard. For all kids! Learn to present yourself with confidence and clean neat clothes. In high school learn
yourCleverUsername10
conversational, interview, and proper gender skills as well as basic home ec. Cleaning, cooking, laundry, stain removal. Money management,
stygyan
What do you define as gender skills? I'm definitely curious.
Solomon13
Peeing while standing.
yourCleverUsername10
That was a typo but I can't figure out what it was so I'll go with, girls-how to do self breast exams and other gender specific health
yourCleverUsername10
concerns, and guys-know how to clean their little buddy, take care of their hearts, and other things that affect men more
yourCleverUsername10
what taxes are, what they do, and how to pay then, basic political info, making a schedule, parenting basics (diapers, bathing, food) and
yourCleverUsername10
how to take care of yourself on your own.
ARandomHelljumper
We actually had an entire class period for that in my Freshman year, but it got cut over the summer. Shame too, it worked pretty well.
