Look what the schools are doing to our children

Did I believe in Santa Claus? Not as a high school teenager, no.

I’d prefer to take care of myself than let our inept govt do it for me, thanks.

 

So you’ve gone around asking middle school aged kids who “Pathagaris” is? That’s f***ing creepy dude.

 

Wait....I thought you said math wasn’t a subject being taught???

 

Has the OP posted any evidence for the assertion?

NO!

 

Don't you know that by now, that is his MO? That is why he hangs around the "Opinion" section except he confuse his opinion with fact.

 

It's the hottest job market in years for the expected 1.9 million students who will graduate. Employers are estimated to hire about 5 percent more graduates from the class of 2016 than last year, according to a recent report by the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

Yep, look. Just college graduates. 1.9 Million of them.
Going into the work force.
Thank you schools.

 

Oh logic the non existent one, live off SS and medicare.

 

Barack Obama to student activists: 'We've been waiting for you. And we've got your backs'

Obama expressed his support, saying it was inspiring to see "so many smart, fearless students standing up for their right to be safe, marching and organizing to remake the world as it should be."

 

That's because you're not a RWer or tRUMPer.

 

No I've recently got the same sort of questions from other grandchildren about America history and questions about the Korean War and the War in Vietnam. How many children do you know that can read and write cursive.

He was correct....“He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future,” ...youth IS our future.


“I am beginning with the young....With them I can make a new world.”.... again: the young DO make a new world...




.... are you just jealous that the right wing is losing ground with the youth of America?

 

And people used to write calligraphy using geese feathers. How many people still doing it these days?? I'd rather they print. Many people write cursive like chicken scratch and unreadable.

 

Kids were "brainwashed" to not want to be shot? Really!...?

 

Why do you want to teach and learn something that isn't used anymore?
Did you learn cuneiform?

 

I was born in 1934 and used cursive K - 12. I haven't used it since. With the exception of my signature everything I write is print.

 

No, Wehrwolfen has no "same sort of questions" about his opinions and assertions.

What is lost is that Wehrwolfen does not understand basic education.

 

To be fair, he does, from 50 yrs ago.

 

I wouldn't think you'd considered yourself a "kid" in high school, but did you believe in Santa, the Easter bunny and other imaginary holiday figures, and if so, how did you come to believe in such things

 

End of thread.

 

Don't send kids to public schools.

Where I live, a lot of parents home school until high school, then they send their kids to the university which runs a collegiate high school, students take regular college courses as well as some required high school classes, they graduate with an AS and a high school diploma. To be accepted the student must pass a college entrance exam, slots are limited so they went to the top scorers on the exam.

For years, home school kids outscored the public school kids so badly that the huge majority of the student body came from home schools. In the state tests, that school was the top in the area and one of the top in the state.

Public schools complained because it made them look so bad, and they forced the entrance exam to be a lottery of all kids who pass the exam. Little changed, the school is still majority home school kids, and it still outperforms the public schools. Turns out 10th grade public school kids weren't prepared for college, home schoolers are..

 

My my without the left most of our children would be eager to be a target for some nut with a assault rifle in their schools hallways.

They would know that their well being and very lives are not worth having some mild restriction on the size of gun magazines and upping the age limit for gun ownership to the same as to buy a can of beer.

Damn left brainwashing our youth to the point that they think that their lives are worth such restrictions on firearms.

 

From the postings on this website being a spoke person for restricting some types of firearms can get you at age 18 label as Hitler or the anti-Christ with a large target on your chest for anyone who is emotional unstable to come gunning for you.

 

This is the type of reaction that the OP is lamenting. Kids are being taught to react without any thoughtful analysis to what is being proposed. The ability for your average moe to have weapons is something that is quite rare throughout the history of civilization. It was usually limited to the nobility, and they would be horrified if the peasants were armed. That would put them on an equal basis, and that couldn't be allowed.

Instead of addressing the reason why the federal government has no constitutional authority to take our guns away, you go off on some bizarre tangent about how restrictions on firearms is going to result in safe schools. You didn't address the fact that these shootings happen in places where there are already laws against carrying arms, nor did you address how this would result in safer schools. You addressed none of the common rebuttals, and just wrote stuff that seemingly has no thought at all behind it.

 

Let me address the constitutional question the courts had allow in the past all manner of restrictions on firearms and it was our wonderful republicans not the courts who brought back assaults rifles into our lives and more important our children lives.

As far as the schools being safer without there being weapons available to people who can not legally buy beer that can put out over a 150 rounds in a few minutes before thankfully jamming that is on it face self evidence.

 

Nice anecdotal story. Most parents don't know shyt about science, or math for that matter to be home teaching anyone. I once tutored this kid in math who can't get out of the hand counting mode of doing math. Then I see his parents doing the same damn thing.
