More fucking around with education

Didn't know you was home schooled. Knew Rocky was.

Your kids could end up lawyers.  Not sure whether I should be happy or sad I keep getting left off the homeschool list.

I didn't know you were on the list

I was home recessed.

[CountDeMoney]

Oh yeah, well I was home detentioned.

[OttoVonBismarck]

And the kids are shutting down. They're getting bored.

Too bad.  Welcome to the world.  You aren't supposed to enjoy reading ten thousand spreadsheets, you little punks.

In a more serious vein, I'm really not bothered.  Much of the fiction foisted upon students is boring too--at least when someone says READ THIS IT'S IMPORTANT about a nonfiction work, it may actually be more than just someone's opinion.  What skill is likely to be developed--in the classroom--reading Lord of the Flies?  Well, maybe making a fire with the fat kid's glasses.

Being forced to read novels one does not like along with some that one may, rather than just reading as a hobby, which is damned well what reading fiction is, does not tend to endear people to that hobby, if that is the point, and teaches few directly marketable skills, if that is the point.  It may teach advanced literacy--I'm not up on pedagogical literature, so if it does, I withdraw the assertion.  But I doubt it does.

Good god sir, could you be more of a PHILISTINE? I feel I've forgiven much of your low-brow ways over the years, but I feel another breaking point coming. In a more respectable age I'd have full right to set my manservants upon you to have you flogged in the public square for your un-gentlemanly ways.

Ide needs those kids to eventually create a cure for that case of super diabetes that he is gonna get.

[CountDeMoney]

See?  Otto's read his Brontë.  One of them, anyway.  They're all interchangeable.

I was at home playing pretty pretty princess.
