Teachers can't teach children who have absolutely NO discipline. And the parents think that discipline is bad for the children. Thank you Dr. Spock.
I actually liked school. My 9th grade science teacher left because of the kids in my class. And I'm screaming inside my head for them to shut up.
In which house do you think that a child learns to behave? USA? Or Kenya where the literacy rate is one of the highest in Africa.
How about literacy in the USA (#33) and Korea (#1)
Math
USA (#27) or New Zealand (#7)

That reminds me of an incident that happened to me about 16 years ago in a Famous Recipe chicken joint (Think of McDonalds without the charm, but with fried chicken). This little kid, maybe three, was behaving like a little ass. He was getting on everyone's nerves. His mother pointed to me and said, "If you don't behave, that man is going to spank you!"
I was dumbfounded! And the first thing out of my mouth was, "No I won't!"
The 'mom' said, "Well thanks for interfering with how I discipline my child!"
Now I was pissed! "You aren't disciplining a child! You are threatening him with violence from strangers! If your kid needs a spanking, And he does, then he should get it from mom!"
I've often wondered when that kid will get out of prison, or if he is in for good.
It seems like everyone is shirking their responsibilities any more.
