Nothing better than teachers with low expectations of their students.

Ask him if he’s read the autobiography. It’s a great book.

There is intelligence behind the persona after all.

The lessons we learn are not always what the teachers think they are teaching.

About 40% of those people who major in education, get a teaching job and start teaching wash out before the 5th year. I have taught and I have worked in an office. The major difference is that when you are working in an office you do not have to be paying 100% attention 100% of the time. It is about as demanding and stressful as a job could possibly be. And, with an office job, when you leave work, you leave work. Each class requires about 20 minutes of prep time if you are revising lessons you have done before. If it’s a new lesson, an hour or two is more likely.After getting a total of 6 1/2 years of college and working for 32 years, I was making less than my nephew was two years into a sales job.All of the ideas for improving education add about 20% to the classroom hours, and no additional money seems to be available to get extra people to help with the job. Paying the people who are doing it more might make them happy, but it’s not going to increase the quality, because it would be an impossible amount of work. Eventually, they are going to get to the point where no one with the intelligence to do the job is going to be dumb enough to take it.

So just Who shot Brother Malcolm anywho ? He scared Folks and had to die I guess

Bonding!!

The problem with many adults is that they don’t give kids credit for being intelligent and thinking for themselves. They do tend to “patronize” rather than listen.

Trying to teach something to someone these days is considered patronizing. Take “mansplaining,” for instance.

As the old saying goes, it’s what you learn AFTER you know it all that really counts….

Des may be anti-establishment (and for good reason), but he’s very perceptive, and maybe Ray’s catching on to that. Hope springs eternal!

“Yo, do you see what’s on my hat, man?”

I think Des and Huey should get together. I think they could be great pals.
