I’m sure you did that. I didn’t make myself clear.

I’m talking about the ones who got the A’s but didn’t know the subject matter (the ones passed up the line w/o help) — where the report cards reflected fantasy and a mind not challenged. Billions spent and so much wasted.

Congratulation on your success and your students (and their parents).

Ahh, yeah. That *does* bother me. The real losers are the kids. I’d rather fail someone and scuff them up and challenge them. Doesn’t make me all that popular but I have been very grateful to the parents.

There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing someone who’s perplexed and confused come to you and say, “I used to be spending 4 or 5 hours on homework, and now I spend and hour and do better”.
