yay now uh can we let the childeren of the US have text books from this century?
Good, even the Defense department itself said it was getting WAY too much money, why we kept shoveling so much into it, I have no idea.

Of course they're cutting the Marines budget, because we get SOOO much money in the first place...
[QUOTE=thisispain;27247730]yay now uh can we let the childeren of the US have text books from this century?[/QUOTE] I'm quite happy with my highschool's curriculum, teachers, and text-books. The actual building, phys. ed. department, and everything else needs some improvement though.

[QUOTE=Lazor;27247929]your high school is not every high school[/QUOTE] I'm aware of that, just giving some personal input. :v:
[QUOTE=thisispain;27247730]yay now uh can we let the childeren of the US have text books from this century?[/QUOTE] All my textbooks were from this century, and that's in a total hick shithole.
[QUOTE=evilweazel;27247933]Think he was exaggerating a bit, most textbooks in decent places have a lot of recent events in them.[/QUOTE] I just want my American history book to allow me to learn what happened in the 80ds and not have questions like "what do you think life will be like in the year 2000"

To hell with the books why not just have a digital repository that can be updated and accessed easily and students and teachers?. kids wouldn't have to lug around multiple heavy ass outdated textbooks or notebooks, just a cheap netbook of some kind, nothing too powerful, just something that can write text documents and browse the web, it'd probably save the school a bit of money too in the long run. oh no that would be intelligent, why would we want smarter more efficient and most of all [I]forward[/I] thinking in schools of all places, that's just absurd.
[QUOTE=evilweazel;27247911]Are you talking about how much soldiers are paid or the Marines budget in general?[/QUOTE] The marines budget in general. The Army could stand to cut a few billion, they hand out $60,000 bonuses like they're toilet paper. I joined the corps and got jack shit, that's how it should be. You shouldn't have to lure people in with money.

[QUOTE=thisispain;27247730]yay now uh can we let the childeren of the US have text books from this century?[/QUOTE] how about whenever we watch an educational video. It's pre 90s shit

[QUOTE=Encryption;27248482]how about whenever we watch an educational video.
