It's Monday about 3:45 am and I'm about to go to bed. To clear up anything left over from yesterday, that was more or less a personal rant. I've realized I have freedom of speech and I plan to use ( or abuse, given your point of view) that freedom as often as i can.
So now on to schools. Education in this country in deplorable. Why? Educational reform plans by senators, congressmen, Governors, and presidents of both parties that don't understand how bad it's getting. Second chances, No child gets left behind, Esl classes, and Teachers being forced to have children that require special educational needs ( that 9 times out 10 the teachers aren't trained for) in their regular classes. Athletes being passed just so the school can have that extra trophy.
It all started with when people began complaining of this sudden terrible thing call Attention Deficit Disorder. I like to call this " momma didn't beat your a** enough disorder". My proof? My step brother Noe had A.D.D. He also was violent hit his sisters and was an over all little s**t. Maria never punished him. My Father started punishing ( spanking and grounding) Noe when he hit his sisters or skipped school. Guess what folks A.D.D cleared Right up!
Now i will not dispute that tons of people actually have A.D.D and Dyslexia and things like that, but alot of the time kids don't and A.D.D is used as an excuse. So we lowered the bar.
Then Along comes some one else with A.D.H.D, or Attention Deficit Hyper Disorder. I'm calling Bullshit on this one because I've had several people tell me they have both A.D.D and A.D.H.D. NO You haven't had your a** busted enough!
BUT we lower the bar again.
Then Mexican immigrants chime in( not all of them But enough) "My child knows the answer, they just won't ask him in espanol" NO s**t! YOU'RE IN AMERICA, SPEAK ENGLISH! Go to France and try that Habla Espanol s**t, they'll look at you like you're a jackass. Your kid probably wouldn't know the answer anyways, because he has ( wait for it) A.D.D! So we lower the bar and create s**t like ESL.
Then we have other Groups " Testing is racially Biased!" People it's a damned piece of paper. Oh wait I know it's white so it must be in the Klan. That must be why we have the TAKS test Stands for the Texas Assessment of Klan Scholastics apparently. So we lower the bar again..
And Again.
And Again.
And Again.
Finally the bar is so low we have a kid wearing a football helmet and water floaties sitting in class saying " Der...This is ******** easy....I'm gunna go to Huh-Harvard cuz I gotta 4.6 G...G.P.S." (If you didn't get this joke, I think you're a jackass.)
We have people dropping out of school because they failed two years in a row because they were bored at how easy the classes were and taking their G.E.D.
We have Grown a** High School Graduates that can't spell Graduate.
we have Seniors reading at a fifth grade level. If you get to the twelfth grade and have to sound out a Goosebumps book, you're a retard.
We have Children that are growing up to be idiots because their parents don't have the guts to challenge them, like my mom challenged me. At 7 years old I was reading Edgar Allen Poe. I know graduates that ask if he's some kind of musician.
Children are more worried about what clothes to wear and music to listen to so that they aren't unpopular. Guess what kids. You all need to be made to listen to Beethoven, Mozart and Tchaikovsky, while wearing drab grey uniforms and learning to ******** read!
Knowing that Paris Hilton sucked off some guy in a night club will not put food on your plate. Arguing over which generic crap pop star is more talentless Hilary Duff, or Lindsay Lohan will not make you smart enoough to cure cancer.
And The government lowering the bar again so that Every child no matter how damned STUPID they are graduates will NOT help. Parents are the only ones that can stop this. Challenge your children. Help them to learn to read. Take ten minutes out of your day and read them a good night story. Mothers Listen to classical music while your pregnant, it really does help. Don't drink, don't smoke, for the love of Jesus Christ in a Wheel Barrow don't do drugs while your pregnant. Unless, of course,you want your kid to be Mentally Deficient.
Read to them, talk to them, teach them to broaden their minds. Enunciation, Pronunciation, Grammar, culture. Expose them to the good things. Let them experience Opera, and musicals. Let them experience films. Not these " vroom vroom, blow s**t up, kill the bad guy" pieces of mass produced crap that comes out nowadays. Good films. Les Miserables. Phantom of the Opera. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
Get them interested in Reading. Comic books, novels, poetry, ANYTHING! s**t teach the little bugger how to install a rear axel on a Dodge pick-up by helping read the damned instruction guide for that matter.
Show them Music. Beethoven, Clapton, Elvis, Metallica, Ray Charles. Swing, Jazz, Blues, Metal, Rap, Big Band. The Clash, The Ramones, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, John Phillip ********' Sousa!
But Overall, Remember this : Kids Aren't born Dumb. "Education" makes them that way. Challenge your children. I'm going to bed.
