Thread: education rant!

I am thankful I have spell check on Thunderbird, mostly because my fingers hit the wrong keys though.

Some well considered and thoughtful responses here.
Unfortunately this problem is world wide; it's the same here in New Zealand.
Our schools are churning out kids who can't read, write, or do simple maths.
Okay, punctuate this to mean its exact opposite: "A woman without her man is nothing."
Beyond the ability of fully 80% of the kids I've tried it on.
So what's the answer to educating kids?
I don't know, but I'm sure that 'politcal correctness' and 'discipline' are two of the key words.
Too much of one, and not enough of the other.

One good thing about East Texas is the schools, my kids got great education there and the kids are yes ma'am and no ma'am. You can sign a thing so they can spank your kids. Mine all knew I signed it too, even though none of them ever needed it. And they still gather around the flag pole and pray, don't much give a crap what the supreme court says about that.
