I weary anyway, of the endless news stories reporting that children can barely read or not at all, can’t add, and don’t know anything.
This in the United States? The exceptional nation, shining city on a hill, guiding light of mankind?
On and on it goes: the national toleration of the stupid, the inferior, the lazy, and the uncultivated. More specifically, toleration of substandard teachers, substandard races, substandard approaches to schooling, and intellectually shiftless people bitching about everything being somebody else’s fault.

Your Say
A couple in their late 20's were telling my wife and I that they were trying to decide whether to enter their young daughter in a public school or teach her themselves in their home. The wife was mortified of the class of people in the public schools and the quality of the education process, or lack thereof. The husband, who was not enamored over the home education idea, looked at me and said, "I graduated from a public school and I turned out OK."
They don't even know what they don't know.
Truly the idiots leading the retards.

I can attest to the fact that Fred's daughters are both quite literate, resourceful, talented, and smart cookies.

Distancing oneself from horrible persons is not a bad thing.
The space gives you perspective.
I don't need to be bitten by a rattlesnake to know they are poisonous.

The fact that Fred's kids are smart, literate, bathe regularly and have clear skin doesn't speak to what he said about others compared to reality.
Most of today's graduates are dolts. Listen to them on the news, read them in what passes for papers. Valley Girls were more erudite.

??????????
Wasn't that Fred's whole point?
What did I miss in his piece that I've read several times? What are you claiming that he said about today's schoolkids?

If you are in close proximity to retirement (over, claim, the age of 60), you may have virtually no prudent choices to limiting risks keeping a fantastic deal of this property in fixed-income securities like US Treasury you will have, Compact disks etc. You are able to -- together with I'm speculating several men and women could -- notice this for a few moments to consider even larger risks for a similar cause that kung fu teams that can be some runs lower on the bottom part on the 9th inning movement for any fencing. However , sports example goes solely to date. Around karate, of course, the exact losing group actually reaches go home in addition to policy for another day.
