Lets dive right in shall we? Man no child left behind should just say “ do what you want we will pass you”. It has come to my attention that this is true. I have talked to some teachers at different school districts that are my age that say this is how it really is. For eample a teacher in a FTW ISD school had a student, the student was always tardy, never turned in home work, took one test in the trimester and was passed. When the teacher was going to fail the student they told her no, they cant afford to fail a student because the school needs more money. This right here is the problem with kids today. No accountability, this is why we have lazy brain dead kids. What does the school need more money for that is so important they are willing to sacrafice a child’s future? Maybe a new fancy capucino machine in the teachers lounge or something ridiculous but not limited to that. It is a shame to hear this happening and it is not just in DFW or Texas alone, it is everywhere. I think some of this may have to do with the parents of children like the one above that was described to you. His parents may be contributors to the school, that is fine give money to the school I am all for it. But when it comes to cutting that education short because the school thinks it needs a statue of the masscot out front or something man it is sad. In my day (and I am not very old ) if you did not shw up to class, BAM! Detention . If it happened again, you were in summer school while all your friends were at camp or on the lake or the river. And again what do these schools need more money for? Teachers salaries? Hell no you don’t pay them enough as it is that is why 90 percent of them don’t care and the other 10 percent that got into teaching to make a difference have been beaten down by the system so bad they don’t care anymore as well thus giving you 100 percent of teachers that donet care. You probably wonder why I care so much about this. It is because these kids are the future of the country. Looking pretty sad aint it.
Lets talk about when we were in school, this applies to kids 26 and older. So remember your first day of school? I barley do, but never the less I remember it. But what I remember most was getting whooped by the principal for screwing up. And my principal was a 5ft 8 in cowgirl with her own farm that she ran so she didn’t care how old you were you got whooped. When this got taken out of school it all went down hill. When they stopped calling your parent cause you screwed up in school it all went down hill. People when I was a kid if I got whooped in school they let my parents know and I got some more when I got home just to make sure I did not forget what they felt like. There seems to be no discipline in school anymore. Who remembers saying the pledge of allegiance every morning in school ? I do, hell I still say it in my heads sometimes to see if I still remember it. But heaven forbid the pledge has the word “god “ in it and star child’s atheist son or daughter does not believe in god so therefore it must be abolished from school. Horse crap, it is not about worshiping god, Buda or ala, it is about pledging your allegiance to this country and it is a sign of how happy you are to be here. This leads me to another touchy subject kids waving the Mexican flag at school no big deal but when a kid wears an American flag t shirt t school it offends the Hispanic crowd. Now don’t get me wrong I am not saying here all Mexicans go home. That is not what this is about I am all for people wanting to start a new better life in America that is what this country was based on. But when you find the American flag offensive then I have a problem. This is America last time I checked so that means that’s what we get to fly for a flag you don’t like it you say? To bad. It has come to the point were we are so politically correct it is not even funny. Don’t want to offend anybody. This is crap. Man I have de railed I need to get back on track P.C. is for another blog nor right now.
So I think I have said what I need to say now here comes the ending which always a little shaky for me. I don’t know why a kid gets passed for not doing any work. Are we bringing up a lazy generation? Teaching them it is ok not to do work, some one else will carry the load? Or has it become a priority to get that money and make a school look like a country club or a college rather than teach the kids that are in it. Why is there no discipline in school anymore? If you act out in school you are tossed a ridalen pill and thrown into a special class. No accountability anymore, it is no ones fault. Well start taking the blame for stuff. Get your kid off the PS3 or the Xbox and get them out side or doing their home work. Be a parent, don’t treat your kid as a hassle. Now please realize that last sentence wasn’t for everyone. Why am I paying taxes for schools that don’t even teach?
