I wouldn't disagree that describes some teachers but the paint them with such a broad stroke is nothing short of pure ignorance. I really have to question how involved you are/were with your kids' teachers.
So parents were more involved with their children's educations when I grew up? I don't think so.
Yes. I remember my parents, as well as my friends' parents being more demanding than the parents of kids these days.
Go to a local elementary or high school and observe the programs. Students are rotten little shits, and teachers are not equal to it. When I went to school, teachers had the upper hand at all times, and weren't shy about demonstrating that. Teachers now have no control over their classrooms. If there's a problem, teachers simply send the students out of the class, to the office, or whatever. They will not confront the student, and Unions support this.
I'm at one everyday. It's my job. And yes kids are a lot more immature than they used to be, that still can't be chalked up to solely their teachers. They learn the shitbird attitude from somewhere and it doesn't come from sitting in a classroom 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, 8 months a year.
Plus the curriculum is awful SocialShit tripe. I've read the curriculum for different classes. Much of it is pointless for students in today's work climate.
I can tell you're not involved with your kids' school. It's still 3 years of English, 2 of math, 3 of government/history, 3 of science, 2 of a foreign language, 1 of PE, and 3 of a extracurricular (art, drama, another PE, TA, etc) for HS.
Not sure how any of that is "Socialshit tripe". And I work in an inner city district where it's been dumbed down. If it's any easier where your kids went/go to school I can't imgaine what a hellhole you must live in.
There is no incentive whatsoever for a teacher to excel, as they know getting them out is extremely difficult. Teachers are interested in more money and less work after about two years in the system. There isn't anything else of value for them anymore.

For a poor scrounging welfare bum like you, why do you hate unions?
CA schools suck ass, largely due to the fact that's it's virtually impossible to fire shitty teachers, which are legion.
I'd say it's more related to parents that don't promote the importance of education to their kids. It all starts at home and by and large kids in California come from homes that don't stress learning and academic work ethic.
I'm not saying there aren't shitty teachers that get let off the hook here, because there are, but it's not the main and exclusive reason.
I hear what you're saying. I don't know if I have the time or money for that. What if I just threw in another fried egg in the afternoon or snuck a burger in (sans bun) in there somewhere too?
Chicken wings and ribs. Sundays are my carb up days, and I also spend them cooking for the week. I smoke 3 racks of ribs, and cook around 400 chicken wings. All pre-made for a week of easy meals.
Inexpensive too.
I'll look into buying them in bulk. Where do you get it all at? Costco?
I'm carb cycling, and I eat 7 meals a day. Bacon, eggs, ribs, you name it. But I'm lifting heavy and cardio every now and then, so I need tons of calories. Three of those meals are pure protein drinks.

One as soon as I wake up, one post lift, one before bed. Days I don't lift I'll just have the morning and night shakes. Each shake being 25 grams of protein.
As part of deciding to cut carbs I'm going to go with a heavy protein diet. This will go along with heavy weight training 4 days a week, a protein shake as soon as I wake up, post-lift and before I go to bed.
Breakfast: eggs
Lunch: 2 servings of fruit and vegetables
Mid-afternoon snack: peanuts
Dinner: whatever the old lady cooks, usually something like grilled chicken, rice and asparagus. Occasionally lasagna (yes I'll end up cheating probably once a week or so)
I have no idea what he was going on about. It was somehow directed and Sean and I. He was suggesting I paid Sean to vote for Obama or some bullshit.
No. Someone on this bbs was suggesting that you buy friendships.
\
Yes and that someone was you, James.
No.
You appear foolish when you accuse all dots of being mw because he called you a boring asshole or something.
False pretense.
The only dots I accuse of being James are the ones that think I'm Sean. Because other than him, and his unfazed tunnel visioned hatred (and ferret to an extent) no one is capable of confusing me with him.
The dots that call me a boring asshole are just ants at a picnic, not James.
