Govt. Recruiter called for my boys tonight
Edited on Thu Aug-26-04 06:22 PM by midwayer
I was on the other line talking to a single mother with two small children, of whom, which I am attemting to help out.

I made sure the GOV heard my thoughts right into thier ear.

I then listened to them and abruptly said

"seeya" "bye"

If they call back

They will be in for a real ear full

1. As the mother of 2 little boys....
As the mother of two little boys, I've often wondered how I'd deal with this scenario. I've been pondering this since I was informed that in Bush's 'No Child Left Behind' package, there was a paragraph thrown in stating that if schools wanted to continue receiving certain veins of Federal funding, they had to allow recruiters access to student info, as well as allow the hawks to actively recruit on campus. I was/am outraged. I still don't know how I'd deal, but it wouldn't be pretty. They are predators, in my opinion, and should be dealt with accordingly.
