Every day as English speaking Internet users we get to witness the average quality of students that the USA (and thus its teachers) is producing.

In fact, it makes up a large part of what we find so fucking hilarious here every day. Morons everywhere.

People have the most opportunity to gain knowledge than at any other time in the history of mankind. There has simply never been an easier time to be an educated person. Young people have the most time, opportunity, availability, and resources than ever before. These kids likely don't have to take care of their elders or siblings, care for the family farm or business, or even defend themselves or their property. They are almost completely free to learn as much as they want to.

So I have to ask the teachers of America: Why can't many of your students read well, write well, or even spell? More importantly, why in all your years of teaching have you not been able to convince your captive subjects that gaining knowledge is honourable, virtuous and valuable?

Also I don't think there's a system with more finger pointing than the education system. It's just never anybody's fault. Clearly they don't have the right processes in place for handling dumbasses.

I was a dumbass in school, there's no way they should have let me disrupt the classes like I did. I went to school on acid, mushrooms, drunk.. I missed 30+ classes per class per semester and there were never any consequences. The other kids got put on contract, but I was in the gifted program so it was because I was "bored" or "not challenged". Those are the excuses THEY MADE FOR ME!

I didn't even have to dream that shit up, it was offered up on a plate.

They are awfully good at making excuses now that I think about it. I always just believed in educating myself, and didn't want to jump through hoops and memorize nonsense. Plus I knew I wasn't going to university or college, so their grades were of little value. I never even took a single computer or business course, and that's all I've ever been into. I literally started 3 businesses while in highschool, all computer related.

Was I stupid for not taking the classes, or were they stupid for not offering something of substance?
