Discipline in public schools is non-existent these days. And it doesn't matter if Johnie knows how to read, write and do basic 'rithmetic. All that matters is if Johnie feels good about himself.<BR/><BR/>1+1 can equal 3 as long as you feel good about it and your self esteem isn't hurt.<BR/><BR/>Damn it I feel old talking about this stuff, lol.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750286862065420283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394468811677580882.post-65377183664156921382008-01-29T18:45:00.000-05:002008-01-29T18:45:00.000-05:00Ed,I am going on 38.

It has really been bizarre, this is almost a cut-off generation deal. Just remember, only some of gen x's parents are boomers, and others are pre-boomer.<BR/><BR/>Yeah man, I still remember the paddle in elementary school - you know the one with the holes drilled in it for less wind resistance. These little bastards need that today.

They are never wrong on anything. It's annoying and completely different than my barely older generation. <BR/><BR/>I don't feel good about these kids being our future leaders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394468811677580882.post-75935785268875767572008-01-29T15:44:00.000-05:002008-01-29T15:44:00.000-05:00Failing kids?

My sister teaches in OC and she tells me that they have 3rd grade kids that do not speak a lick of English. Dig this, a handful were also in OC schools for 1st and 2nd grade. A special thanks goes out to the Stasi principals/administrators that tell the teachers these kids must pass regardless of language. Go figure.<BR/><BR/>Gotta love the no child left behind bullsh1t. When I was a kid, if you could not cut the mustard they held you back for a year. Continue to fail/fk up and they sent you to a "special" school. I can remember we had a few in high school that fell in that category. Eventually they were transferred out and that was that. Ahh . . . the good 'ole days, fk up and pay the piper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394468811677580882.post-42352881600180061922008-01-29T10:45:00.000-05:002008-01-29T10:45:00.000-05:00What you point out is (sadly) considered racist by...What you point out is (sadly) considered racist by the msm. It's not racism ... it's reality. <BR/><BR/>The unfortunate part is these people are going to be a big percentage of the American population in the next 50-100 years and, frankly, I don't think the offspring and future generations are going to be much into education. They have created their own subculture that is unique in America and if they don't evolve from it they will continue the same morals and values.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
