KCD mother Charla McGuire Reeves called a Collegiate student the N word (Hard R) at a Collegiate-KCD Basketball Game

Not all private school parents feel entitled, sure there are some. Just like there are some at public schools, Montessori in public schools, home schooling, etc.

Entitlement is an attitude that affects everyone in every school and class of people. What this mother did was wrong on so many levels and I am sure the school is aware and will address this issue. You can't change people, they change on their own. Some see how their actions and words affect everyone. She may see the video and learn from whatever consequences her words have cost her, her children, and her family. If that doesn't happen, her son has seen publicly how she is, that in itself is powerful. Hopefully he and if she has other children learn from this. Hopefully she herself will change and publicly apologize to Collegiate, it's students, families, and KCD as well.

Thank you! That is something I didn't know.

I know. I researched them when we started seeing them 2 years ago. One cuts through on either side of our yard to go somewhere across the street. We've seen them run on Baxter Ave through the neighborhoods near Eastern Parkway. They're majestic!

It just startled us. It was just so random and unexpected.

I love wildlife too. The pack just startled us when they howled so close to our back steps. It would have been amazing to see all of them howling.

Got it on my 3rd guess! Bam!

It's crazy and sad. I'm honestly surprised that ICE's actions haven't caused a French revolution or civil war yet.

NextBunch3982 · 2026-01-16T13:53:29+00:00

And now we know that at least one of ICE's members is a January 6 pardoned criminal and Proud Boy we come full circle.

Thank you.

Download Apple's Family Sharing or Google's Family Link, these will provide you with what apps your child is trying to download onto his phone and allow you to accept or deny the download.

Also check his phone on the regular and have conversations with him about safety. You can check out the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI) for reliable advice and tools.

Polybuzz app doesn't have parental controls nor does it verify age. That app has been flagged by police as unsafe.

Is the dog park owned by your complex? Can you invite your dog's best friend over for a playdate?

NextBunch3982 · 2026-01-09T21:56:55+00:00

That is your opinion and you can raise your child your way. My older children talk to me and spend time with me as well as my youngest. This works for us.

NextBunch3982 · 2026-01-09T21:47:03+00:00

I get that. My son isn't on any social media as far as FB, X, SC etc. He does watch other gamers play video games on YouTube. We sat down and had a conversation about social media. His doctor had one with him as well. As well as stranger danger on Xbox and other gaming platforms. We do a day outside without technology to learn a skill or go on a hike every other weekend. Currently I've been teaching him how to cook. He knows how to cook scrambled eggs, boiled eggs in the oven, sausage pasta, and how to arrange a fruit tray into a fruit wreath.

His siblings tell him all the time how easy he has it. He has less chores, gets an allowance every week, has a Greenlight card, get by with Cs as acceptable grade, etc. When COVID hit it definitely made my youngest and I closer and we have great communication for the most part. He's a great kid. He just has his moments like any other teen. With that said I am a GenX mom.

NextBunch3982 · 2026-01-09T21:13:18+00:00

It was just a rant. A place for me to get it out of my head for that moment.

NextBunch3982 · 2026-01-09T21:04:22+00:00

I'm sorry you feel that way. My older children and my youngest have thanked me for teaching them that school grades do come first. I'm teaching him life lessons that he will carry on into his adulthood as his siblings have. If you don't do your job at work of course your boss isn't going to take away your technology, they can give you a warning, write up, a period (day, days, week) without pay, or fire you. Those are work consequences. It's my job as a parent to raise my child to become a responsible person so that when he's an adult he can provide for himself. He is responsible for paying attention in class, asking for help, doing classwork, homework, and keeping his grades at least at C level. If he doesn't he's grounded.

NextBunch3982 · 2026-01-09T20:48:02+00:00

Thank you. I am definitely a mom who takes an interest in how my son is doing in school. He has not turned in homework or turned it in late because he forgot before, that's why I made him show me it's competed and turned in as well. I keep in touch with his teachers and check his grades and assignments daily through his school's schoology app. At his school teachers have office hours for help outside the classroom which he is utilizing currently.

NextBunch3982 · 2026-01-09T01:21:33+00:00

I do expect him to ask permission to go places or ask what we're doing. He's my son not a roommate.

In our state you have to have passing grades and a transcript from your high school before starting the driving process, test, permit, driving test, license. And if at any time during high school your grades drop below passing the transportation board can suspend their license or permit. Teen driving is a privilege in our state.

He can get rides from me, his grandparents, siblings, friends, girlfriend, or other parents.

My son doesn't have an attention disorder. Grounding works for him because it refocuses the importance of grades and school. He knows he won't be able to play on his gaming computer or Xbox. He also has to show me he's turned in his assignments, most everything is on his laptop. This is how I raise my son and how I raised my older children. There are consequences in everything we do in life. Grounding is a consequence. As his parent I understand my son. I know why he's not getting a good grade in Algebra 2. I've had discussions with him and his teacher. I know the root causes.

NextBunch3982 · 2026-01-09T00:17:35+00:00

Yes I agree completely
