Our educational system straight up sucks and most of its failings can be laid straight into the laps of the parents for not givin a shit or choosing to let the schools raise their kids because they're too damned lazy to get involved and do it themselves.

Then we have the fucked up psychological bunch claiming we can't give kids a failing grade because it'll adversely effect their delicate sensibilities, so even if lil jane or johnny is a total spazoid, chooses to do nothing in school they still get passed along to the next years curriculum regardless, and ..... can't even be punished anymore by the teachers for bein a total fuck-up and taking time and energy away from the teachers tryin to impart anything to the kids who actually WANT to learn!

So, in summation, the parents aren't doin their part to insure the kids get an education and then the fuckin liberals have totally tied the hands of the school administrators and teachers so they can't even realistically grade the students work, nor have any power to control them while they're in school which means most schools have basically become state sponsored day cares where the kids show up to so Mommy and Daddy can go to work!

The education I got was decent, no where near what many other countries hand out, but still at least engaging, thought provoking and enriching, and I DID enjoy school. Then again, if I failed a class my parents would punish me for it, if I fucked up at school I knew there would consequences that would extend past what the teachers themselves did to me for it, and because there were consequences for such actions, my education wasn't continually put on hold while the teacher dumbed down the curriculum to the lowest denominator level within the class, nor required to put up with 1/2 a room full of jack-asses tryin out routines best left for amature night at the local comedy club.

I've said it before, but political correctness is killin this country and doin a damned fine job of it
