This is SO Embarrassing

If you don’t know what this is, then you may need one until you find the answer for yourself.

And there you have it, straight from the Yahoo! funny pages! Man, I love a good story. 

There once was a nation who was in so much disillusion from what they had been taught that every time something was to get better, they screamed and fought against what they didn’t understand. These changes are scary for the mass population who have been taught that how it is, is the best it will ever be. At least for the rest of us who know and remember how things were better not that long ago, well, maybe it was a long time ago…..

What’s up with the education system? why are people freaking out about the federal branch being shut down? I mean really? Do they think for one moment that the federal education board has their children’s best interests at heart? And do they really believe that the states and county education boards will do a worse job than federal? I just don’t understand what the fuss is all about. Maybe I need to go back to school and have someone tell me that I’m trapped in the wrong body, that I am perfect just the way I am and give me a gold star for breathing!

I do not have children, so I guess I’m not qualified to say the education system, as we know it today, is irrelevant to actually educating kids for real life lessons. Mediocre things like discipline and reading, and, well, stuff that won’t really help them in the real world when they don’t have a computer to tell them what to think and do. I have eyes and can read how this is going. I know contractors along with several other businesspeople and they all have the same complaint. What I hear from them is that most people under the age of 35 and some around 45 have no work ethic. They think they should have a supervisor job making $150,000 a year and anything less is “beneath” them. Harsh reality strikes and we have a group of “highly” educated morons running around demanding high pay for shotty work (if they even show up the second day).

Well Skinny, you're sitting there in your underwear typing about people with little education and all you have is opinion!

Well, yeah, what are you? Sitting there in your underwear reading it! Please keep your hands above the table, don’t let this get weird.

So now that we are in dire times for people who can actually work, we seem to be scared at the proposition of having middle class jobs actually return to the U.S. OH, SNAP! That means people will be having to go to work instead of collecting government checks to sit on their asses and binge watch TV! I was a factory worker, making decent money for what I did and then it all went overseas so the company could save a few bucks on labor and produce crappy parts to be sent back to the U.S. or somewhere to be assembled into an automobile so you, the debt riddled American could get a loan since prices for new items were so high you can’t really afford them and since you have no savings to pay cash for anything, you get another loan or some form of credit to pay for more junk you don’t need, but have been told you really do “need it” so someone else can take your money so you can work to pay for all the things you (don’t) “Need”! “Big breath, that’s done.”

Skinny, that made no sense to me.

Let me guess, you have more than a home loan, no money left to pay for the things you need and now can’t afford the things you must have. That sound about right?

You must be a damn mind reader! That was the most amazing BS I’ve ever been told!

Yeah, but the sad thing is, almost all of the nation is in debt for things they don’t really need. Big houses that are not really homes, big autos so they can look big to all of the people they don’t really like, and big debt so they can have all the things money can’t buy, but credit can!

So where does all this fit into talking about the education system? They are all things that are not being taught in todays school system.

Back when I was in school, we had shop class, and it was for the dummies of the school who couldn’t pass other classes. And yes, I made A’s in that class. It taught me more than the half assed history course we were forced to take that only taught half of the history of America. I didn’t realize it back then, but a lot of pertinent information was taken from the “education” books. I’d hate to see what the books DON’T have in them now! So, yes, I believe that local school boards will have a much better idea of what their students need to succeed than some federal bureaucrat that has no idea what is being taught in schools across the nation, and that is how it should be! Should a student in Florida be taught the same lesson as a child from Iowa? Maybe a better point. Should a student in Iowa be taught how to grow oranges for a great local harvest the same as a kid from Florida? Maybe we should teach kids in Florida to grow a bountiful wheat crop like they do in Iowa! No, I agree that education is better suited to be handled by the parents, and local education boards. That way, if a school system is failing the child, the real answer could be the parent or your neighbor and not someone far away who could care less about your child!
