only makes it easier for the government to offer us more socialism, which we welcome with open arms since we are no longer able to stand on our own two feet. Evidence of our declining educational quality lies in the fact that average SAT scores dropped from 980 to 899 between 1963 and 1992, while per-pupil spending rose 160 percent. In short, we’re not getting what our parents pay for.
          Is there a simple solution to all this madness? Certainly. We could simply do away with all public education and leave it to private enterprise. It seems very simple to me. If we had the money back from taxes that the government squanders on public schools, we could easily afford high quality private schools for our future children. But the fact remains that the general population doesn’t like freedom and the accompanying responsibility. Therefore, unless you're going to take action against your public school, you’ll just have to open wide and let the government shove whatever it wants down your throat.

I am writing this article to all you cold hearted bastards who pushed and shoved me for four years.           As many of my comrades, I was born with a small frail frame and I easily bruise. To compound the problem I have a weak family structure and bad acne. Listen to some of the tortures I enjoyed while attending Fredonia High. The Classic Swirly          After celebrating a certain 1A          victory, the football players would          proceed to find me at the          concession stand and, as a bonded           group, carry me towards          the locker room. Of course, my           acute mind knew what the purpose           of this raging mob was. The          bottom of a brown porcelain          throne was my ultimate destiny.          The first time, many many years          ago, I struggled...BIG MISTAKE. Continued Next Week...sorry |
