What happened to spare the rod and spoil the child? Swoop
It went away the same as discipline in the classroom did. That's why we have over 40% of "graduating" high school seniors who can't find the United States on an unmarked globe, or read beyond a sixth grade level. Here in Arizona they now require all high school students to pass a test before they can graduate. It is called the AIMS test. (Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards). When they first introduced it
the parents objected to it! Naturally, it was the parents of the kids who flunked it, which were many.
I worked with a real bright young guy a while back who told me he took it the second week into his freshman year, (the student has the option to take it whenever you want, or as many times if you fail it), and passed it with a 97%. He said it was unbelievably easy. He also told me A full 2/3rds, (66%) of his class dropped out! When I graduated in 1970 it would have been a safe statement to say 66% went on to college. I only knew of one guy who dropped out of a graduating class of over 1,100 kids. This nation has been dumbing down for the last several decades. The discipline that once drove students is gone in both the family, as well as the classroom.
Today a teachers hands are literally tied as far as administering any kind of meaningful classroom discipline. If they do they run the risk of losing their job, along with the school board being drug into court and facing the a$$ end of a six figure law suit. It's gone completely crazy. We'll be a third world nation in another generation. Look at Hussein. He's a Harvard "graduate" and lacks any and all common sense. A drunken sailor would make a better financial planner.
And over 40% of the people think he's doing a good job! 40 years ago he would have been run out of Washington on a rail!
And the kids who do actually make it through college today come out as full blown communists with all of the indoctrination they receive from all of these liberal, socialist, (communist) "professors". It amounts to going into debt for years for a student loan, only to learn that America is a pile of crap, and we need to be living like they do in Cuba. And because of the lame way these parents have raised their kids,
they buy into all of it! I don't see parents writing to complain to the deans of these colleges, or pulling their kids out of these communist nurchuring asylums. They just go about their merry way, piling up credit card debt, pissing away every dollar they earn. Then they wonder why their kids are as worthless as they are. No school in existence will replace a sensible, solid home life, coupled with a steady input of common sense. Unfortunately that commodity is becoming more difficult to find in the American family, and this entire nation is going to pay the price. Hell, we already are. Bill T.
