Kelly Clarkson and Kylie Kelce's Conversation About Schools Has Sparked Backlash
HuffPost
Teachers and parents weighed in with their own perspectives.
Kelly Clarkson is not gonna lie ― she has a bit of a grudge against schools for holding events during the day. And her opinion is drawing lots of mixed reviews.
“I don’t know when the school systems thought it would be a good plan for families and their emotional stability to start having performances at 10 a.m. during the week,” the singer said during an appearance on Kylie Kelce’s “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, which aired Thursday.
“This just in ― a lot of us work!” Clarkson, who is now a daytime talk show host, said, adding that schools oftentimes are “surprising you with it!”
“Not giving you, like, an advance, so you can at least tell your work, ‘Hey, I’m gonna need this morning off,’” Clarkson said. “Our kids don’t understand, and we just look like assholes when we’re not there.”
The Grammy winner said that sometimes kids then ask, ”‘Why was this mom there?’”
