They should probably make canned classes and give every kid a laptop. They killed the ability of educators to use discretion in the last ten years. While some never did try to make anything exciting and fun or teach things kids really would need later on, none will have any leeway now.
America had to lower standards and make rules for the tards, just like we all do in real life.
This country is fucked.
clad, you are thinking of 90,90,90 schools. Look it up. Those kids don't all graduate college, it is just hype.
I'm not certain but I don't think I've ever heard of it before. The school I heard about is in Houston and accepts anyone who applies but doesn't provide transportation. Parents are motivated to get the kids in but this isn't why they succeed so well in my opinion. Certainly parental attitudes are usually important and can be determinative but schooling mostly happens at school beyond the control of parents.
The problem with this country and why we are spinning down the drain is that people demand quality in nothing. They buy garbage and don't return it. They elect mayors who watch their city go under water and then reelect them. They put people in Washington who represent only wall street and bankers and can't understand why only wall street and bankers are making money any longer.
People have believed for 99 years now that we aren't responsible and people aren't held responsible for their actions or inactions. Results no longer matter and those with the most expensive educations run things even if they continually run them into the ground. Most doors of opportunity in the country have been slammed shut by endless red tape and countless laws that assure the established businesses will never get any competition while countries like China allow new business. Laws against monopoly and price fixing are no longer enforced. Stores and banks openly flaunt laws against bait and switch. Speaking of which banks pay .15% interest amd loan money at 15% . If you try to cut into this deal you'll be in prison. Nobody's responsible. If you go belly up send all the assets to Morgan Stanley first even if they don't belong to you. The regulators don't care. Add sodium tripolyphosphate from Chine to almost every food in the country and not label; no problem. Who cares if it's never been tested on humans and is only 98% pure. Surely the Chinese wouldn't let anything bad in it. Put pink slime in hamburger and buy a new condo in DC. Speaking of which in just the last few years it has gone from the poorest city in the country to the wealthiest. They're building luxury accomodations for armies of lobbyists trying to figure out what next to put in our food.
Nobody's responsible and nobody cares. The vultures are picking the last of the meat off of what was only a few decades ago the greatest economy and civilization on earth. Now we eat shit and be politically correct which often means grin as you eat shit.
These guys are knocking up women because that's what men do if women let them and women are being paid by a system that values the status quo over all else and doesn't expect quality anyway. The women don't expect quality or they probably wouldn't be looking at these guys.
