New Rules for School Children

 

1. Hey, who running the pool on when England turns into Canada?  I wanna get my bet down.

2. Jeez Mr. C,

   It used to be that you didn’t put your hand up if you weren’t sure about the answer, because not knowing was embarrassing, whereas knowing and answering correctly would raise your self-esteem.

   As to embarrassment when called on and not knowing the answer, well, that was why we did our homework.  We knew we could be called on any time. Good teachers challenged their students, pushing their limits higher.

   Now we can’t have teachers hurting kids’ self-esteem, so we’ll have the school encourage kids to nominate another student to be embarrassed, removing the onus from the teacher.  It also removes the necessity of doing homework and taking responsibility for learning the course work.  I don’t wanna study, I wanna be a yob on the dole.  Let George do it.

   It sounds like the old Communist practice of turning in others, even family, to the commissars and expecting The State to take care of you.  That’s nauseating. The world is upside down. 

   Better keep your kids at home, safe from educrats’ experiments.

3. And everybody MUST comply—the Socialist’s dream.  The irony is that it may be a good idea in some instances.  I found speaking to a classroom of kids easier when I told them to stop raising their damn hands and talk to me.

4. Yeah, here’s a good point for their stupid self-esteem issues - what about the kids that have NO friends (comeon we all knew at least one of ‘em) and then those kids like me - a ghost Outside school I had friends, but I don’t think anyone would ever remember me being a student at all.  You know the kid I’m talking about - good enough student not to be worried about but not a star. Non-nerdy/geeky enough to survive walking the halls without torment, but couldn’t get a date or conversation going ever.

   And to twist another aspect of the incredibly stupid >phone a friend< whatever the hell that means - the bullies will have a freenzy picking on the known stuggling students, what better way to ‘legally’ embarrass/torment someone else.

   Also what better way to indoctrinate the young into becoming accustomed to ‘turning in’ others but by starting it in school.

   Leave it to the socialists/communists to mess up the educational system once again.

7. ’Phone-a-friend?’ Howabout we just poll the audience (class)?

8. pic: Better yet, let’s go with the “Family Feud” format. No fixed answers, your task is to predict what the majority of respondants to a poll answered.  Truth is a consensual validation construct.

9. What if somebody has to go to the bathroom?

10. U2: The student should politely announce, during a lull in the discussion ”Hey B*tch, I gotta piss.”

11. That, or the other solution is that the students wear “adult” diapers.
