My son would play like that at about the same age. A “friend” spoke to me about it all gooey concerned. I replied, “How can I stop him? Cut off his fingers?”

Now, he’s all grown up and is in Special Forces.

Now, if he was using his middle finger and pretending to
stick up up some place way above his pay grade, they’d
have marveled at his early intelligence.

I still say, shutting down the entire school system for
18 months, letting all teachers go, and then rehiring only
the ones that could understand their job is simply to
teach the children reading, writing, and arithmetic, would
imporve the system dramatically.

Close down the DOE, and refuse to let any of those folks
work in education again.

That goes for teachers not rehired as well.

Even the failing Chicago school system teachers are most likely “certified”. The teachers must miss class a lot going to all those funerals.

When we were kids in the 1960s, we were always re-fighting WWII with toy guns. The younger brothers (I was one) were forced to be the Nazis, except one kid of German extraction, who wanted to be on the opposition. He would yell out “Dummkopf” and “Schweinhund” while we were fighting, and I recall he had a schwastika painted on his tree house. Wonder where he is today?

One child grows up to be
Somebody that just loves to learn
Another child grows up to be
Somebody you’d just love to burn

I can’t help but wonder about the race of the boys involved.

The framers of our Constitution were smart enough to leave control of education to the states. Education is not a federal issue, just like abortion it is a state issue under our Constitution.

The framers never anticipated that Jimmy Carter (D) would sign into law a cabinet level Department of Education. They never anticipated a union like the NEA might take control of our schools and teachers.

Yes, I know, the NEA claims it’s not a union. Sure. Just like Admiral Rachel Levine claims he is not a man. LOL

How did Audie Murphy learn to shoot? Prob like shifty Powers. His parents provided him with a gun and he went out shooting He brought squirrels home for his mother to cook. Which she did

Audie M prob similar

His mother prob said what my mother said more than just about anything else ‘what are you doing in this house. Go outside!’

“Close down the DOE”

The DOE should be restricted to processing STEM or other classroom technology grant requests.

Before Jimmy Carter there was a Department of HEW, with the E standing for Education. So wasn’t the federal government already meddling in education before Carter?
