One of ours was killed last night by his sorry and careless dad--one of my sons coached this student--and I am VERY salty about this.

I am sorry for the loss of your student, especially at the hands of their father. I’ve lost students in the past because of family violence, and ones that I’ve made abuse hotline calls for, and it is heart wrenching.
America has a major class divide problem too, that impacts all in or near poverty, like 85% of my students, and I assume many of your students as well. Many of my students or their families have also experienced prejudice and acts of violence due to being Black, Hispanic, or immigrants.
I do want to note that if any other poster used “zumbedo”/“zumbado” in reference to another poster in the thread or on Greek chat, you would likely chastise them, then lock the thread.
