Teachers succeed without teaching and students succeed without learning.  
Is there really any question why there's no education going on in our 
education system?

A teacher's only use for students to get money out of taxpayers.  The
more money they get, the less they teach.  Once they get tenure or graduate
into administration, they do nothing useful at all.  $300 billion/year we 
dump into our education system and 20% of our high school graduates can't
find the U.S. on a world map.  It makes the DoD look like a model
of efficiency and fiscal responsibility.

Thanks to the U.S. Department of Social Engineering's reinterpretation 
of "all men are created equal" as "any dolt can do any job," students
know damn well they can live a good life in America off the sweat of somebody
else's brow.   The more complaints & disadvantages a student can muster 
the better grade he gets and the less he is required to accomplish.  

As long as we continue to reward excuses for failure and resent achievement, 
our education system will continue to build yet more fetid byways in the 
intellectual sewer.  AIDS studies, anyone?

"Education, which was at first made universal in order that all might be
 able to read and write, has been found capable of serving quite other 
 purposes.  By instilling nonsense, it unifies populations and generates
 collective enthusiasm."				Bertrand Russell
