What schools were those?
You don’t get it. We have to keep those kids in school so they won’t be out on the streets living a life of crime, food stamps and mayhem. / S
Clovis, NM High School - Eastern NM University in Portales, NM - Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX and University of NM in Albuquerque, NM.
Also went to Baylor and SMU for awhile.
Why do you ask?
The thing that keeps nagging me the most is if you set up machine gun nests at every entrance, would you aim the guns towards the outside or the inside of the building?
In what world is that considered good news?
Say what you want, but the teachers are underpaid. You try dealing with those kids every single day.
I haven’t thought about the teachers lounge in a long time. I was in the audio/visual club in HS and we would do things like running the projector in history classes (Twentieth Century with Walter Cronkite) and operating sound and lighting systems in the auditorium.
We had keys to the storage rooms and auditorium and would just hangout in our free time. Backstage had an intercom with the boys and girls dressing rooms for shows, which were during the day the men’s and women’s teachers lounges. We would eavesdrop on them gossip about the students and other teachers, bad boys that we were.
Parliaments were my first choice of smokes.
The word teacher doesn't really apply to many inner city schools. First, due to no fault of their own, teachers cannot teach. Second, many of the so-called teachers are also illiterates. Granted, there are some that truly mean well, but teachers are at the heart of the problem. It begins with their liberal leanings, "teacher degrees" that involve zero rigor at the college level and teacher unions. I will start taking teachers seriously when they leave politics at the door, ditch their unions and get degrees in the subjects they teach.
Ah, the way democrips create more of their ilk for welfare and gibmedat living.
You’re right, I don’t get it.
I was being sarcastic.
I have often heard teachers and educrats argue that these types of youths need to be kept in school and ‘educated’ or else they will wind up on the streets. Unfortunately, they tend to bring down the standards.
Never heard of schools where you were allowed to smoke in the classrooms. lol
The United States is not the country I remember growing up. It used to be a wondrous place filled with relatively rich, confident people. Now? A cauldron of corruption and crime ruled by a wannabe dictator. The country is sliding towards chaos and police state status.
And, I don't get it.
Well, kids are going to be kids, and you can’t stop young people from killing each other. It’s the school’s responsibility to teach them how to do it SAFELY, just like they did wih sex. Luckily there is no references to God in schools anymore, so their delicate psyches are not damaged by other people’s ideas of morality. < /lib>
And I do agree with you. Our nation and our culture are very different from what I remember growing up.
We had more fights in my high school than my son’s high school.
Here’s a hint on picking schools.
If they have a great Cross Country and Soccer program, it’s a good school.
I smoked in classrooms all the way through high school, college and into graduate school.
At that time, there was nothing unusual about that.
There is a fairly recent hysteria that has changed that picture - for the worse.
That’s absolutely hilarious. There’s no way you would have been able to do in the schools I attended.
Such is the modern urban plantation.
Perhaps they could turn it into a pay per view event so taxpayers could get some of their money back.
