    Well, proof that the American education system is going to hell.

    I didn't even have a drivers ed class at my old high school.

    On the subject, that is absolutely rediculous.

    Vaughn said parents of disabled students can, by law, request a change in their child’s individual education plan, which could include a driver’s ed exemption. But teachers and students said that is a little-known option, and that they have been told driver’s ed is required to graduate.


    So they don't need to pass it , but they don't know that they don't need to pass it .

    You're wrong. I'm Irish and this doesn't affect my view of Americans one iota.

    Every country has stupid regulations like this. Heck, try living in the EU - even our bananas have to be a certain shape

    This is one rediculously small detail. Why would see America "in a bad light" over something dumb like this?

    Agreed... and our cucumbers, and squash fruits...

    Anyway how can this make the US seem bad? That part of school might look bad, but it doesn't affect how people view American cars or food for instance.

    ok look at it like this.

    You do 1 stupid litte dumb thing like make blind kids need to pass a drivers education course.
    thats fair enough. could probably over look it.

    but youd already said. People are alowed to say what they want to who they want. Oh and there allowed to carry guns.. (a nother dumb combo if you ask me)
    Still i guess i could over look that.

    Then theres things like America cause more emissions than any 1 els, and more waste.
    "Thats agrivating and they can do something about it, but all the individual's dont"
    (getting agrivating but i could posibly maby overlook it)

    then theres more little things.
    like miss spelling and miss pronouncing english and saying they speak english.
    (obviously alone i can over look that as well)

    But then if you Ball up all these Idiotic things.
    and you step back.

    You say.

    DAMN america s full of retards, what a bunch of idiots.

    And thats why things like this make people view america in a bad light.

    If you need it Explained better than that.
    I guess il need to draw a diagrahm.

    But its prety simple to comprehend if you take you patriotic stare spangled blinker's off.

    Haha, that one makes me laugh, yeah there are a lot of idiotic things like that in all the school systems I've ever been a part of in america. I for one really look down on a lot of legislative decisions this country has made in reguard to our schools. Aside from that I think schools could really do without so much propaganda, my cup overflows with it.

    When I think of it, as an American, it really does make me look at america in a bad light, because it's not just that school in Chicago, most schools have much more than one silly thing like that, and it show a lack of an efficient educational system. My thoughts anyway

    Vouchers. That's all I'm gonna say.

    Heck, try living in the EU - even our bananas have to be a certain shape
    Whoa- is this for real? Is there a site with EU fruit shape regulations anywhere?

    The banana issue related to preferences for former colonial states I think. Whatever it was, the British tabloids bent the issue out of shape.
