We can't communicate and we're too lazy to care
Writing should be an important topic in schools, but the more I teach, the more I realize it’s not stressed nearly enough. This month, I am teaching a “Fundamentals of English” college course. This course teaches the basics of English to students. I cover parts of speech as well as basic writing skills, and I try to do it in 12 hours a week for four weeks.
We've stopped teaching our kids to communicate and we've stopped teaching them to stand up for themselves. How can we fix this or at least combat the apathy?

Jerry Springer , Jersey Shore , Grey's Anatomy and DWTS
If it's any consolation to you I've been teaching the idiot children of the Chinese Nouveau Riche at Chinese Universities for ten years and I can assure you that it's worse here than America.
Why would anybody want to learn to read or write when Jerry Springer , Jersey Shore , Grey's Anatomy and DWTS are just SOOOOO much more interesting and they have the government to take care of their illiterate asses?

What are our children learning in public school?
Is the school at fault? Is it society as a whole?
Do we really understand just how much the public schools are failing our children?
