Just a failure of the public education system. Race doesn't matter. Kid is dumber than a box of rocks and doesn't even want to learn.
And the worst of it is he was able to still earn a 3.4 average. Outrageous!

Public Education = FAIL.
Be well.
So you say, but I've yet to meet someone that was home schooled that wasn't a completely socially awkward twat. Don't blame the school system, blame the sense of entitlement that kids have these days. It isn't the school's fault that kids don't want to learn anymore. It isn't the school's fault that it's popular to be dumb as a rock.
Clockwork I use to think like you because I had only met two homeschoolers in my life time (both were weirdos). In the past decade I've met three different families with brilliant, well adjusted kids who were home schooled. I'm sure it depends on the parents. If the parents are socially akward, the kids have no chance either way.
my biggest beef with the public school system is it programs people to be slaves their whole lives - to go out into the world and get a job and work for that paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle.
Personally I would love it if after they went to school they would go out and get a job....it would solve many of the country' problems.
But that just goes back to this generation's sense of entitlement. They want everything to be handed to them without having to work for it.
I am pretty proud that I didn't rip his arm off and beat him to death with it.
I'll bring the popcorn and beer.
I do a lot of cooking for the neighbors on the holidays. I have a WWII Vet and a Korea/Vitenam Vet that I take care of on holidays because no one else does.
Today I threw down a big London Broil and and a bunch of veggies and stuff on the grill. I invited my landlord and she came by with her new boyfriend. He just graduated HS last month, so he's 18.
I was on the porch with a beer in one hand and a pair of tongs in the other. He thanked me for inviting him and I said it was no problem. He asked why I had such a big spread out for a get together. I told him I always throw down for the 4th. He looked at me with and asked what was so special about the 4th...
It took me a minute to realize he was being 100% serious. He has NO FUCKING IDEA why we celebrate the 4th of July. I am pretty proud that I didn't rip his arm off and beat him to death with it. Instead I went off on my landlord. She's a teacher at his HS. They let this guy graduate with a 3.4GPA and he doesn't even know BASIC American History?
I'm telling you, I am more disappointed right now than I have been in a long time. Sorry for the rant, but I needed to get it out.
Your landlady is a HS teacher and is dating a recently-graduated 18 year old?
No, that doesn't sound fishy at all.
She made it a point to tell me she waited for him to graduate before she went out with him so she didn't jeopardize her job. I don't get it. Mommy complex on his part, I guess.
Very ew.
