American Education, yet again.

They're all passionate for awhile, but when you're not even getting a decent wage the sheer numbers overwhelm you. In doctors its called compassion fatigue. In assembly lines its called something else. Being a high-school teacher or a middle-school teacher is a totally losing proposition in America, and has been for a long time. Only those committed to the job get into it, and they all get burnt out by the injustice of it all.

Well I don't really know what I am talking about I don't really know anything about the American education system. Public schooling is pretty good here at least. I can think of only two private schools, Stebo and the Lusac (hi Hax! You rich ) and the Nijenrode University. These are expensive, but the others are just fine

Actually, you end up getting a decent (if not world beating) wage and a fairly good retirement package.

All you have to do is play the bureaucracy's game by its rules, put in your years at your repetitive little hamster wheel of learning, and not rock the boat.

So I like you well enough but the honesty and truth of this statement makes me want to throw up on you. Dodge quick!

They also need objective ones, not on some socialistic neo-feminist crusade.

CAÑON CITY, Colo. — A Colorado Springs 6-year-old was suspended from school this week for kissing a girl on the cheek and hand, according to a report.

Something is so wrong.. I, living in a third world country never imagined a thing like that could happen here...

HoreTore said it all in the OP... I'm speechless!

I know you struggle with the concept of being able to have several conflicting ideas in your mind at the same time, so I will simply leave you with a quote from Aristotle:

"It is the mark of an educated man to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

For that to be applied though, you need to be an educated man. Your thoughts also need to be entertaining, and vice-versa.

[HoreTore]

Your thoughts also need to be entertaining

I rest my case.

[Kadagar_AV]

If you quote, at least quote whole sentences. The meaning of the sentence often gets lost otherwise.

I thought you'd know that, but you went to teachers college, aight?

With that said, your thoughts actually WOULD be better off if they were entertaining. It would of course still be the same drivel, but at least it would have some comedy value.
