Dammit, This Should Be Common Knowledge

As usual, I am forced to continually clarify things that I simply assume are common knowledge to every thinking human being in this country. Please folks, pay some attention to what is going on in your world. Here we go:

The only people that still think that public education is a good thing are the people that have not kept up through the "Self-Esteem" movement of the nineties or morons that adhere to this philosophy. It seems that the reason that Junior can't read is because we hurt his damn feelings but the truth is that teachers no longer are required to actually know anything or teach anything.

HERE are the requirements for a Graduate Degree in Education. A GRAD DEGREE! Please, this doesn't qualify someone to pet animals.

Okay, you say, those are the requirements for a Grad degree, obviously there is something that these prospective teachers learn before that. NOPE. HERE are the requirements for an Undergrad. Man, that is just toooooo impressive.

If you have concerns about why our students are stupid compared to the rest of the industrialized nations of the world, it is solely because it takes no intelligence or comprehension at all to be a teacher in today's public schools. Granted, you might happen to run across one teacher that actually tries to teach your kid something. People, this is the exception, not the rule. It has been this way since the mid-eighties. Chances are if you are under thirty years old, your education is very lacking or virtually nonexistant.

Oh, in case you're sitting there going, "HE CANNOT BE TALKING ABOUT ME!" If you don't know the uses in the your-you're debate, yep, I'm talking about you, sweetheart.

And for anyone that has access to a copy of a teacher's registration exam from any state of the Union, please forward it to me. I will take the test WITH supervision and guarantee that I will pass with flying colors. I will even get my fifteen year old son to take it as well and guarantee that he will pass it.
