[QUOTE=Doriol;17538237]way to be a judgmental prick, bro[/QUOTE] He's right, even if the teacher was being a dumbass, there are other tools to use if you actually get off your ass and try.
[QUOTE=Doriol;17538193]what[/QUOTE] Notice how all the replies criticising this suggestion have been unintelligible, what does that tell you
[QUOTE=CrazyMoron;17538301]I agree. In grade school the math teachers didn't know how to teach math where I went. They would yell at us if we wanted help.[/QUOTE] crazymoron
[QUOTE=bepassley;17538278]im anti-obama because he hasn't done anything but talk[/QUOTE] Dealing with the global recession by using different methods and proposing a reform of the health care system is doing nothing? Those are both HUGE issues.
[QUOTE=Lankist;17538291]Enjoy your McJob.[/QUOTE] i didn't say every class was like that
should probably get better teachers and more school funding before we get more school days
[QUOTE=bobste;17538321]i didn't say every class was like that[/QUOTE] Just the ones you don't pay attention to.
[QUOTE=lolwutdude;17538216]Excuses and bullshit. I bet you just talked to your friend the whole period talking about Kanye West VMA incident right? Even if that IS true, are you aware there is 99999 other tools to help you out? Other math teachers? Tutors?Parents? Friends? The Internet? Books?[/QUOTE] I see you point. Kids these days are very lazy and expect everything to be handed to them. But, how do we stop this? We can show them what an education means and how having none won't get you anywhere, but it never seems to work. Maybe we should force them to work more, maybe we should let them drop out easier and just let them be dumb for the rest of their lives, maybe we should try more pro-active approaches? I don't know. But, perhaps, somebody needs to stand up and finally say that it is the student's fault, and not the teachers. But nobody will, because some shit and the majority of the American people are going to backlash and say "No! No! Teachers! Government! Blah Blah Blah Bitch Bitch Bitch..." Honestly, the reason nobody blames the students publicly is that they fear public backlash.

[/quote] you seem to forget that it's both the fault of the students and of the teachers goes both ways
[QUOTE=Doriol;17538275]yes because the internet = wikipedia[/QUOTE] Actually, ask 75% of the kids in my school what they use the internet for. The answer will be "myspace and wikipedia... i can't do english reports without it"
[QUOTE=Lankist;17538327]Just the ones you don't pay attention to.[/QUOTE] sure lets go with that
[QUOTE=SilentS;17538329]Honestly, the reason nobody blames the students publicly is that they fear public backlash.[/QUOTE] From what, 8 year olds? I'm not afraid of them. I'll fight them.
[QUOTE=Lankist;17538345]From what, 8 year olds? I'm not afraid of them. I'll fight them.[/QUOTE] with your law degree
[QUOTE=Doriol;17538354]with your law degree[/QUOTE] With my fists of fury I'm a 200 pound bigass mexican. I will fight any of you.
[QUOTE=Dutch;17538333]Actually, ask 75% of the kids in my school what they use the internet for. The answer will be "myspace and wikipedia... i can't do english reports without it"[/QUOTE] Who the fuck uses Wikipedia for anything formal?
[QUOTE=radioactive;17537296]So from what I've read, the American Education system is in shambles? That explains a lot.[/QUOTE] It's the fucking children that are the problem. They refuse to learn and they bitch and whine about every little thing. It was like this when I was in Kindergarten all the way up to high school when I graduated. Here in a community college I feel like not much has changed. I'm in Year 13. Edit: But for fucks sake, fix the infrastructure of the schools as well. Take some of that money out of the fucking military budget and fix the roof so I don't have to avoid puddles and trash cans collecting water.
[QUOTE=Lankist;17538345]From what, 8 year olds? I'm not afraid of them. I'll fight them.[/QUOTE] It could also be the belief that if a student is failing, then that reflects on the parents. Therefore the parents of failing students refuse to admit that they need to get their kid's shit together, because it somehow makes the parents look bad.
[QUOTE=Billiam;17538360]Who the fuck uses Wikipedia for anything formal?[/QUOTE] I use wikipedia to learn useless information like what a yoctosecond is

I'll fight them too.
[QUOTE=Billiam;17538360]Who the fuck uses Wikipedia for anything formal?[/QUOTE] I would say 'everyone', but you apparently don't live in southern America.
Good thing he can only do this to public schools. I would shoot myself if I had to do another two hours in Catholic high school. Also good way to lose everybody in school now that will be 18 when you run agains vote.

[QUOTE=Billiam;17538360]Who the fuck uses Wikipedia for anything formal?[/QUOTE] Wikipedia is actually good if you're going into a new topic and want to get a decent grasp before getting into the details I have used their sources for essays too
[QUOTE=Doriol;17538414]what[/QUOTE] Re-election time although his statement could have been worded better, it's not exactly hard to understand
[QUOTE=James*;17538433]Wikipedia is actually good if you're going into a new topic and want to get a decent grasp before getting into the details I have used their sources for essays too[/QUOTE] Wikipedia is shit when it comes to legislation and documentation. The few times I've checked what they have to say on the specifics of federal legislation they referenced bills that didn't fucking exist Sometimes it's like they just write random numbers. "Uhh, yeah this is from the 111th congress' H.R. Puffinstuff 1476"
[QUOTE=Lankist;17538455]Wikipedia is shit when it comes to legislation and documentation.

Just read this on OMG, this really sucks.
[QUOTE=Lankist;17538455]Wikipedia is shit when it comes to legislation and documentation.
