As she's done so often in the past, DUmmy Pam Dawson starts a thread with no purpose but to get other DUmmies to tell her what a great DUmmy she is. I'm sure she's not shocked that no one takes the bait. Since her victory in the 2009 DUmmy of the Year competition, the other DUmmies have despised her for winning that distinction. If they were chickens, her eyes would be pecked out by now.

Beyond Scared Straight is on right now. WOW a wake up call for so many
I wish this intervention was something we could do for all of our at risk students. I don't think we would have so many children go down the wrong road if they really know how it was.
I see so many kids think the life full of gangs and crimes is so special, they can't wait to attain status. It really breaks my heart.

1. In my state, part of the reality is that juvenile booking
detention center is like a frigging hospital. Pretty nice. And they call the kids "clients" they don't even refer to them as "defendant" or "suspect" or "inmate". Kids think "no big deal", but the Big Boy Jail is waaaaay worse.

2. last hour was for girls, this hour is the boys in South Carolina
I really wish kids knew how reality really was!!!
In Pam's "Magna Cume Laude" mind, that last sentence makes sense.
To quote poor, stupid Beth Ferrari, "lol."

5. Stuff like this is such crap. I once had to participate because I was late one too many times
walking myself to school. And I'm talking like five minutes late, five times in a year.
And I was on the honor roll. It was mandatory.
Suuure you were. This is an example of the truth in coach's maxim that DUmmies lie, all the time.
