JOHNNY & SUSIE ARE ILLITERATE AND CAN’T DO MAFF

Guest Post by Realestate Pup

American education, once a shining beacon, has now devolved into mass indoctrination and a mill of idiots.

Gone is any focus on math, science, history (reality as it is, not as some wish it to be), or grammar studies (we are now told our language is evil, rife with bad words and racist phrases. News flash: every language is. Look it up. Oh, wait, Johnny and Susie are basically illiterate).

Yesterday I had an conversation with a very dear long-time friend who used to be an Advanced Placement Biology teacher. He did not come to teaching via a “degree in education” (which is a silly thing. You basically don’t have to know shit about what you are teaching, only that you now are certified to teach it to others). He has an honest-to-god degree in Biology. And several certificates in toxicology, blood pathology, and chemistry. He has always been passionate about science. Loved every aspect of it. He has a methodical mind, driven by observation and patient lab work.

Ms Freud GETS FIRED

This probably doesn’t deserve a separate post. But I need to vent. And Admin likes me, so he lets me. Also, maybe there’s another lesson here about the sad, sad state of America’s education system.

There’s a new charter high school in the area and they hired MS Freud as school psychologist …. State law requires “x” amount of hours where one must be made available. Ms Freud went there two days a week, 6 hours each day. Today was the last day of school. Ms. Principal fired her (by not renewing the contract for next year). She said she had no choice because there were three complaints by parents against Ms Freud. Here they are;

1) She counseled a rather promiscuous girl to use at least contraceptives to protect herself from possible diseases. The parents complained.

2) One boy constantly started fights. She wrote a letter to the parents requesting / offering one-on-one sessions regarding his bullying … on her own time and AT NO CHARGE! The parents didn’t like that their precious son was labeled as a bully and complained to the principal.

3) One girl simply didn’t like “that white woman”. One day her teacher sent her for counseling. Upon entering the office this girl immediately went into a self-induced frenzy, hyperventilated, threw herself on the ground, and in the process cut her lip. Ms Freud called the school nurse. They sent the girl home. She told her parents that Ms Freud beat her up. Not only did the parent complain, but Ms Principal today informed Ms Freud that the parents intend on filing a lawsuit against her. Nice, eh?

By the way, all three students and their parents are African-American. Is that an important detail? I don’t know.

So there’s the state of education “counseling” today. You better NOT give meaningful, helpful advice. You BETTER make friends with the student. You BETTER be politically correct …. In EVERYTHING. You better live in fear.

Ms Freud wasn’t upset, just pissed off. “Fuck the school system, they don’t deserve me.”, is what she literally said. And I agree 100%. American public education … what a fucking waste of time.
