What's REALLY Being Taught In Government Schools (1 Viewer)

[Doctor Detroit]

Jack White, I've known a lot of Rothbard type libertarian/anarchists in my life, and many of them, despite having some ideas I could never agree with, were the nicest people. But-

There's something wrong with your presentation. It's not your ideas, as wrong as some of them are to me. It's you, at least it's you on this board. I can't express specifically what it is that is so repellant about your posts, but you'll have to trust me, they are.

I have no problem with that.

I will say, however, that only some of my posts are libertarian/anarchist in nature.

Most of my posts are about beer, chicks, TV shows, the NBA and people struggling with the prospect of putting their pets down. Nothing the average person would find repellant.

Yeah but the 40% of your posts that are repellent (nice spelling there you dolt), are exponentially so.

Sure, because every typo makes one a dolt.

Thanks for the compliment, though. You've always been one of my biggest fans, and it means a lot to me.

You're the mindless assgoblin correcting grammar, then fumbling the spell check in the same exact thread. Maybe you should spend more time critiquing your own flaws.

I know how to spell. It's a typo. Plus, I'm not perfect. I suppose you are, though.

Maybe whomever was a typo too, Sally.

Maybe so.

Regardless, I know I can always count on you to show up with your name-calling routine.

Anytime, I'm here to regulate dopes like you.

MY kid has gotten in trouble for reading at school

if it is math class and you are supposed to be listening and are instead reading another book you are doing something wrong.

As a math teacher, I don't personally care if they read, as long as they don't interrupt others and get their work done. The problem is that they'd rather play on their phones, which gets taken away and given to the dean, or they face a short suspension. Is it perfect? No, but cell signal jammers are illegal, otherwise I'd have one.

Would you care if a student slept in class if he was consistently a straight A student who always tested in the 99th percentile?

In all honesty, no, partly because school starts at 7:30, which is stupid because studies have shown when schools start later, students do better.

Wish I had you as a teacher growing up.

Got in a lot of trouble for sleeping in class despite always getting high grades.

Very few teachers wised up that I knew the material and im either going to sleep or disrupt the class and the best option was to just let me sleep.

wait a minute...high grades? I thought you said in the other thread (the IQ test one I think) that you got put in special ed classes because you made terrible grades because it was so boring in school????

So not paying attention to read Twilight is ok, but not paying attention to play Minecraft is not? Explain...

Edited to fix my typo before JW slaps my hand with his ruler...
