The schools have became so terrorized over things being done the wrong way, and lawsuits, and loopholes and shit, that they have no balls anymore. A teacher can't hug a child. That has nothing to do with learning; but it's just symbolic of how things have changed for the worse.
As far as learning goes, teachers can't fail kids that fuck up. In the old days, you were afraid of your teacher, because he would fail you, suspend you, etc. Now the teachers (or most) have absolutely no control over their classrooms so nobody does any work. They just skate by.
I owe nearly everything I am to the work my teachers and my father did when I was a kid. I had teachers, from the time I was in Kindergarten till at least 5th grade, and then again subject specific teachers in jr. high and High school that went out of their way to make learning fun and exciting. My dad helped me out too, not so much taking tests and studying and things, but from the time I was born, he talked to me, taught me things, took me places, showed me how to do things, answered my questions. Parents don't always do that, so kids don't always learn.

I just graduated, class of 2003 and I noticed my class was the last class that people were being held back my brother got held back once in first grade because his skills were not up to par. We did everything at home but he has a learning disorder of some sort so it wasn't neglect from the family at all, and dammit he should have been held back once more in my opinion because the school didn't give him the proper help he needed; he just now got into a more intimae class situation....5 years later... that shit is fucked up I'm glad I got all I could from school btu as trauma said it has gottento it's lowest point now.

There's a reason why people here make spelling errors...They're fucking idiots.
Read one of Mdoggs posts. I guarantee you'll find the most idiotic spelling errors known to mankind. Sometimes it even shocks me to see how dumb a person can be.
The Big Bad Ass:
Nik and I don't always see eye to eye, but the man can spell ;D
Trauma, my mom still hugs her students, and there aren't any rules that I am aware of in our city (state) that says she can't. She's a 5th grade teacher now, and has taught K thru 5 over the years. We are a small city (30,000) compared to a place like Chicago or NY, so maybe it's regional?
