WHEN SKITTLES ARE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE SKITTLES


I'm getting sick and tired of the librul, lamestream media constantly saying that Trayvon Martin was an 'innocent' teenager. My God people, this kid was ARMED with a bag of Skittles. Harmless? I think not! Patriot George Zimmerman is lucky to be alive!

And don't even get me started on what damage a can of Arizona Ice Tea hurled at some Neighborhood Watch Generalissimo's melon would do!

You betcha!

THREE WRIGHTS MAKE A WRONG


Today in my 3-D Design class, we discussed the work of iconic American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Of course, I checked to see what prior knowledge the little ones had of Mr. Wright. One kid finally piped up and said, "Didn't he help invent the first airplane?"
The future of America, ladies and gentleman. New Zealand is looking better and better every day.

Occupy Education: Teachers, Students Resist School Closings, Privatizations, Layoffs and Rankings

Occupy Education: Teachers, Students Resist School Closings, Privatizations, Layoffs and Rankings

Heard this on the radio this morning as I was getting ready to head over to Camp to teach the youngins.

Looks like the magic of NCLB if finally working as designed. The Business Roundtable, ALEC and the lunatic wingnuts are soiling themselves in glee! Their wish to close public schools and privatize education (not sure how-in-the-hell that's suppose to work) is fast becoming a reality.

One of the many things that struck me in this report on school 'reform', high-stakes testing, and teacher evaluations based on the results of these tests, is nobody mentioned the glaring fact that students DON'T GIVE A RAT'S #%& about the outcomes of these tests. They have ABSOLUTELY NO BUY-IN! Test scores do not affect their GPA, their chance of graduation or college admissions. THEY MEASURE NOTHING! THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Just once I'd like to hear somebody mention that. Fat chance.

CLOSE ALL THE SCHOOLS DOWN AND LET THE YOUNGINS RUN FREE!!! IT WILL BE MAGICAL.
