Reply #58: What would help these kids is for THEM to be held accountable!

[Plucketeer]

But more to the point, hold their PARENT(s)/Guardians accountable. What's been so STUPIDLY ASSumed all along, is that these supposedly "eager" and "knowldege-hungry" minds are ALL ALIKE and ALL from the same highly supportive sort of "Father Knows Best" home lives. When the kids come to class with all the latest and greatest electronic gadgets and their homework not done - what sort of grades do you think they deserve? Or should the teachers just give them "a pass" to help them perpare for the realities of the real world?

OF COURSE..... so long as there's more parents to cast votes than faculty members - who are you gonna paint as the "bad guys"???

Shit for educational policy, shit for health care reforms, BULLshit for wind-downs of warring, BULLshit as regards the reinstatement of civil liberties - ENOUGH SHIT!
