I think, the education system is supposed to be for the entertainment of the
students. That is what most parents want. They have these kids and expect
us to raise them. Many of todays kids come to school with so much excess
baggage that we will never know about. Their parents cuss at them. Some come
to school dirty and expect the system to overlook it. When thekid goes home
and tells tales about the teacher, the parent believes the kid.

Educators can't agree how and what we should be teaching them. Our systems
go from program to another. One reading concept to another. You might as
well dress up like clowns so we can entertain all day.
