LEARNING STARTS AT HOME. And, the ULTIMATE responsibility for any child knowing where Mexico and Canada is, let alone where Serbia, Sierra Leon, Slovenia, San Salvador, and the Suez Canal are on a world map.....RESTS WITH THE PARENTS

Then what the hell am I paying someone $80,000 a year for... with the whole summer and holidays off. While I go work a 24hr rotating shift weekends and holidays. When I want to go somewhere I get out a map and find where it is I want to go, whether it's a few towns from me or around the world. That is my reponsibility to my children...knowing how to do that, then they can find anyplace themselves.
In my next life I'm coming back and being a teacher...either that or a weatherman.
And you know why all those other countries know where we are and we're not as concerned with where they are...?
'Cause they're all trying to get here...c'mon over to my neighborhood any Sunday...I'll show you half of Portugal/Brazil/Mexico/Guatemala and about 3 dozen other countries playing "Football" their name for it/"Soccer" our name for it in some local parks. U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A.
P.S. nice game as are most sports/ to bad hypermedia and bigmoney have to get involved and ruin it.
P.S.S. I have teachers in my family...I know there are good ones out there, but their are many out there too that would rather just lay the blame on the parents, pass the buck..just like any other profession, once they get tenure and are secure in their union position the weeds grow, and unfortunateley the union protects the weeds from being pulled.
WOW...that was way to many topics to talk about in one discussion....and if you can read this...
Thank GOD....a Teacher and your Parents...oh and your eye doctor, the Greeks or Phoenicians (whoever it was that invented the alphabet even the scholars are unsure still) and anyone else you personally want to thank..I'm sure they'd love to here it.
This Rave brought to you by the letters T,B and A, tada!!!
