Would you be okay if your future were directly tied to me being polite?

[Stinky The Clown]

That ludicrous concept is hardly any different than teachers rising or falling on how kids do on standardized test.

[BrklynLiberal]

1. yep!!!

[Confusious]

2. We can't blame anyone else can we?

I mean, If we actually told them to spend some time and make sure you kids do well.

Or the politicians who keep cutting funding for schools, but not for the military.

or the businesses, who send good jobs overseas, so mom and dad both have to work 2 jobs to make ends meet.

Na, it's the teachers fault.

(That last line was sarcasm)

[NNN0LHI]

4. You omitted the consumers who send good jobs overseas with their choice of purchases

They have a hand in this too.

3. Well, you still have posting privileges here on DU.

That's polite enough for me.

5. I'd be fucking doomed!

[EFerrari]

9. You were already doomed. The question is, would you be okay?

lol

[frazzled]

6. Um, I don't even know you

I assume that kids know their teachers and vice versa. They spend about 25 hours a week together, engaged in a (supposedly) mutual goal.

I hope you're not a teacher, because this is one of the most illogical attempts at instructing through equivalence I've ever seen.

[Stinky The Clown]

7. So you favor standardized testing?

[EFerrari]

8. How are we defining "okay"?

:rofl:
