Inmates running the asylum

When I first heard about this: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/education/stories/DN-gradefolo_16met.ART.State.Edition2.4d98197.html I thought I must have misunderstood.

But no, it appears to be true.

The Dallas school district has decided to force teachers to allow assignments to be turned in late and for kids to re-take tests on which they performed poorly.

This, of course, is to help students who are slow, or in need of a boost of self-esteem.

Let me be blunt: The people responsible for this are morons.

Faced with the problem of students not getting their work done and blowing off tests, these geniuses decided that school work must have been too hard. So, they take away any sense of responsibility, any sense of pride in a job well done and done on time and any sense that they must adhere to someone else's expectations.

The Dallas school district is creating a bunch of teenaged narcissists who will demand that the rest of the world conform to their demands on their time.

The people responsible for this are educrats who are themselves so lazy and weak they can't bring themselves to demand something from children. They're wimps and they ought to be sued for educational malpractice. They don't deserve to have a place of leadership over the development of young minds. They are a waste of taxpayer dollars.

I thought Texans were supposed to be tough. If y'all really are, boot these pantywaists out and put in some people who'll tell the kids that the people who will one day hire them from jobs take a real dim view of laziness, tardiness and selfishness, which appear to be the only things the Dallas schools are capable of teaching.

Think the Cowboys won Super Bowls with that kind of attitude? Nope.
