Been gearing towards home-schooling for awhile now. The union indoctrinators here are driving me nuts. If sh*t like this ever comes up, my kids know to walk out of teh room and call me.
My oldest told me yesterday that his teacher commented that our Country is falling in teh international rankings because...get this...the kids have given up!!!
He saw teh look on my face and realized he may have contributed to her unexpected...departure in teh future. I was livid.
We recently had a refereundum in our town to raise property taxes for, among other things, addressing class size (a measure ginned up by the unions to ..well, y'all here know) and what we got were electronic white boards! Which, by my kids accounts, are used once a week, twice at best.
And to give an idea of the stupidity of some neighbors, not only did it pass with a substantial majority, but one neighbor, whose hubby makes boatloads, leaving her w/ more dollars than sense, said she voted for it so the town could hire another bus, leaving teh schedule unchanged, enabling her to make her yoga classes in teh morning! Same dipsh*t who adopted a stray dog off teh streets of Aruba while vacationing there, and no surprise, the thing's a vicious little cur.
The dog sucks too.
