Why high school kids in wanna-be gangs are DORKS...

So there's a lot of tension in the air at the schools in our district. Being in a low socio-economic area, our schools have taken in several Hurricane Katrina survivors from low socio-economic areas in New Orleans.

As these students are slowly trying to integrate into life in H-town, many still feel very segregated and somewhat ostracized, as for some reason, a few of the refugees think they are better than our own idiot children.

So instead of trying to fit in, the kids are often forming their own little cliques, cliques that border on gangs. At one of the high schools, the kids are calling themselves the 504's, as 504 is the area code for New Orleans.

Those of us in education find this rip-roaring HILARIOUS.

In edu-speak, section 504 identifies children with "substantially limiting impairments." In other words, a "504 child" is classified as special ed. These dorks are walking around calling themselves slow, and every adult in the building knows it.

I guess you kinda have to be an educator, but lord, how it makes me laugh...
