So true. My entire friend group is going through this logic at the moment. I'm the oldest of all of them and I'm proud to say I'VE ALWAYS BEEN SINGLE!! :P

Last evening a teacher who worked at my school passed away. He had brain hemorrhage. He was a really nice guy. Oh, and today's his birthday. I miss him... :'(

That reminds me... stupid budget cuts in our district means getting rid of my orchestra teacher from middle school... about 2.5 years after he's been hired.

Keep in mind: this is the guy that knows a shitload about video games, has had an NES wedding cake, made Super Mario jack-o-lanterns for Christmas, made the Orchestra Hero logo and got it on a shirt, etc. etc. Oh, and he's been playing violin for about 20 years, so he's the best out there pretty good. :|

darn.  My orchestra teacher isn't that good.  She only got the Orchestra Hero logo but not on a t-shirt, and she's been playing cello for 20 years and is pretty good, and she brought in a Wii and let us play it in orchestra for 2 days. 

wtf why orchestra?  Why not just lower the pay?   I hope that doesn't happen to mine....

Or why not stop all of the unnecessary spending. My school put up an expensive fence around the school the doesn't keep anything out because all 6 of the giant entrances don't have gate, making the fence useless. Also those idiotic SmartBoards that half the teachers have but don't ever use.

OR BETTER YET. WHY NOT CUT THE PRISON BUDGETS WHICH GET 5 TIMES THE FUNDING? IT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA TO SPEND 5 TIMES MONEY MORE ON THE SCUM OF THE EARTH THAN ON THE FUTURE OF YOUR NATION. NO WONDER THE COUNTRY'S GOING DOWN THE DRAIN.

US schools are really dumb.  We have a terrible education system when we're compared with places such as Europe and Australia as far as I'm aware.

But as for cutting funds on prisons.  We sort of need that money so the 'scum of the Earth' don't escape and go on a crime spree.  Not to mention, with crime rates going up, we're sort of running out of space (As in jails) to put criminals in, so I would have to say the amount of money being given to prison places and the like is rather justified.

Though, people usually do become criminals because of improper schooling, and educating the youth of our country should be one of the primary things we do, so yes, I concur, we seriously need to improve on our education system.  And not just economically either.

Thats what one of my papers are about -- basically how in 10-15 years China and India will surpass us in almost every field because if internal drives of for-profit scores, an intrinsic drive to success... they see education as a way out of poverty, so theyre driven. With us, its compulsory, and we just go through the motions, memorizing and faking everything, etc... that is the case for the majority.

Ill publish it here when its completed, but I am arguing that America has lost its competitive edge and we need to return by reforming US Education to a more global outlook and doing away with Standardized Testing -- meaning to man up, that we acknowledge that there is a technological race and American needs to beef up its Science and Math edge -- as well as the technological edge (meaning Computer Sci classes etc... in high school) and lastly stating scare tactics and other sources to globalization of American education through personal sources and a movie we watched... etc.
