This country is going to hell in a handbasket.  Let’s all sit back and enjoy the ride!

I used to blame horrible parents and kids for the problems in our schools, but man, really stupid teachers are popping up everywhere. I had some stupid teachers, but it is getting really bad.  Can we please pay these people more money so we can get someone with half a brain teaching our kids?

Two of my favorites from the past month:

Teacher bans Linux from school.  “No software is free and spreading that misconception is harmful” Really? I make a program and give it to you for free.  I hope you aren’t hurt too badly.

“I along with many others tried Linux during college” Oooooohhh!  Linux is like a drug or a same sex partner!

and what about a little invasion of privacy!

“ ‘My economics teacher is forcing us to give up all of our work for the semester. Every page of notes and paper must be turned over to her to be destroyed to prevent future students from copying it. My binder was in my backpack, and she went into my backpack to take it.”

What?!?!? These are my notes. I wrote them.  They are mine.  And going into a student’s backpack without cause?
