BPR: Once upon a time teachers used to complain about students who behaved like rotten little monsters. These days some teachers instead have taken to kvetching about students who behave like gentlemen.
Take students like Tamarion, a 10-year-old North Carolina boy who got in trouble at his Tarboro preparatory school after he had the audacity to refer to his teacher as “ma’am.” Oh, the utter horror.
According to his parents, they learned of his wicked crime when he returned home from school this Tuesday afternoon with a look of shame and disappointment on his face.
“I asked him what happened. He said he got in trouble for saying ‘yes ma’am,’” Tamarion’s mother, Teretha Wilson, explained to local station WTVD.
The teacher then forced the poor child to fill the front and back side of a sheet of notebook paper with the word “ma’am” as punishment and demanded he get the sheet signed by his parents. more here
My father raised me to be a gentleman hence I always open doors for ladies. ..
Occasionally one will take umbrage with my simple act of kindness and respect. ..
I simply respond, “It’s ok ma’am. I open doors for ugly men too.”
Maybe that teacher would prefer that the kid say, “Yo! Bitch!” instead?
@Groucho Marxist, I still encounter gentlemen who open doors for me and I love it.
Maybe the ma’am thinks she’s a dude.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand she should be fired.
Too stupid to understand a child is being taught good manners too stupid to be employed by the state.
For every time my child would have had to written Ma’am I’d be superfly TNT, I’d be the guns of the Naverone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAmwnD-Sv3c (spicy words warning)
Seriously, this woman must not be from the South AND she has no common sense. In the South it’s drilled into you from day one to use “ma’am” and “sir,” and if she didn’t want to be called ma’am she should know it will take more than a day to undo a lifetime of saying it. And punishment for forgetting isn’t going to help. She could have tried using a game, like giving all the kids a bowl of tokens and they have to give up a token each time they say it – something along those lines. That’s pretty basic teacher technique.
In the south, you say ma’am and sir regardless of their age. 3 to 103 years old makes no difference.
If he had said Madam instead of ma’am would they have busted the poor kid for calling her a procurer of hookers? He’d have been better off just saying “hey you.”
I’ll open and hold the door for anyone behind me. I’m an absolute monster I guess!
He should have said “Whadup Ho”
Probably the same teacher that was making the classroom sing songs about Obama.
Sorry bitch.
Replacing manners with Political Correctness, the tyranny, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a steaming turd by the clean end!
Don’t like “ma’am”? OK then – how about “Mammy”?
Maybe she can become a Senator

Military also use “sir” and “ma’am” as a sing of respect as this former senator didn’t understand.
NOTE: In the Star Trek universe, senior female officers as “sir”.
“Sign”
The boy also had a second punishment, writing the definition of the word multiple times.
Gosh. Any chance this teacher has personal gender struggles?
How ’bout NOT inflicting your mental illness on a little kid?
Nah…
I was raised to say sir and ma’am.
I’ll say it to everybody, if they don’t like it, they can go pound sand.
You’re a feckless cunt, ma’am.
That’s a man, Baby!
The twisted world of a leftist troll. This is how the left count their victories by intiminating a child who does something right. The lunatic teacher is indoctrinating the children she/he “teaches” to become gender confused so they are easily manipulated by the left.
Get your children out of the government school system.
Did the teacher explain why she didn’t want to be called ma’am?
And why aren’t we given the teacher’s name? Is the school protecting her or something?
I guess MoFo was more appropriate.
