Thread: education rant!

Tweet

When discipline was banished from the schools, learning left the same day. Unfortunately, the only discipline the schools seem to understand today is zero tolerance. Have an aspirin in your pocket . . . suspended. Draw a picture of a gun . . . suspended. Curse at a teacher . . . well, let's have a "dialogue."

The only thing the government runs well is the armed forces, and sometimes I wonder about that.

Also, it's not "cool" to get good grades. Those that can't or won't want to drag the others down to their level - at least in elementary and high schools. In college, all that bullbleep disappears. I was always at the top of my class, and I had to put up with endless crap and smartass remarks.

He liked to shuck and jive on his cell all day with his homies about scoring some dope to sale . . .

HRD,
I'm guessing that's the basic reason he can't tell up from down - or right from left. It's not education, it's chemicals.

Barb,
I guess the test writers think 60,000 degree air is just warm.
