On a more positive note, our quaint native patois will amuse our Chinese masters.

When we had a local near-revolution concerning the too-easy exams for teachers, one local teacher attempted to uphold the difficulty of the exams by writing to the newspaper that “I and my collegues...”

“I’m just like not real sure what I want to do when I graduate? I like thought I would like major in business but there’s a lot of like math and stuff? Plus, the classes in sociology are like easier and like way more interesting? I just seriously like need to focus on like what I want to do when I get out and stuff?”

Like, U could just go do a taping of "Girls Gone Wild" before you decide to take your degree in Art History and move back in with your parents and stuff?

My son Beau, I mean, Bill, he of the perfectly-styled locks, recently said to me, "If you go to Walmart today, can you get me a hair dryer or something?" "I suppose I could," I replied. "A hair dryer or a bunch of bananas? A hair dryer or a package of new socks?"

That doesn’t mean that Mike Adams thought that President Bush was an idiot, probably just the opposite and I think he admitting that he himself climbed the stairwell. Which I believe he used figuratively

Mostly true. Of course, I don't want to paint with a broad brush and say that "all" teachers are lazy -- but most definitely are. Teachers in government schools are vastly overpaid for the quantity and quality of the work they do. They will whine that this characterization is unfair, but they're just wrong.

We need to close down government schools, and let parents send their children to schools where actual learning is demanded. Teachers at such schools will perform or be fired. No unions, obviously.

During a college Physics class, the instructor had just derived the formula for the speed of sound on chalkboard. Drew a box around final equality and declared "also known as Mach 1".

With what sounded like the blinding flash of illumination, from the back of the room came a young, female, BLONDE voice "Oh! Like the car!"

Brought the house down.

With respect, I must dispute your contention that teachers are “LAZY”. I believe the proper word is “INCOMPETENT”.
Just take a close look at the result of their “labors”.

I am considering the possibility of having my boys learn a marketable trade rather than going straight to college. That way they will learn the value of hard work and have real world experience. With the glut of college graduates looking for work, a smart kid with those qualities will be better prepared to handle what the world throws at them than some poor kid who wasted their parent’s money majoring in PC.

Yo, yous be speakin da troot! lol What’s really scary is that one of the most fun “made up” games we play is “Redneck Scrabble” wherein the only rule is “if you can ‘splain it, you can spell it” is becoming a societal norm!

I, on the other hand, just purchased Latin curricula for my 11-year-old son at the homeschool convention. ;-)

I think it also shows how lazy parents are these days. My son occasionally tries to slip in a “neighborhood cool” type inflection to his voice. (He’s only 11 - it’s natural.) It gets nipped in the bud rather quickly.
