The Demise of Education

Yesterday I spoke to high school biology students about wildlife management in Texas and Fish Anatomy. As I talked to these kids I saw the reason why everybody gets into college and spend four years taking classes that do not count towards their degree plan. These kids had no idea about education, work ethics, and most importantly respect.

This brings up a couple of questions: are we educating the proper way by lowering our standards and when will parents take the responsibility to teach their children about respect at home.

I'm not saying that we should neglect any child, but are we servicing our future as a country by lowering the education standards to accommodate certain kids. People in the US believe everyone deserves a job and an equal education. I’m tired of people thinking education is a right. NO it is a Privilege to be educated. If little Johnny does not want to learn, send him to the military. Other countries treat education as a privilege and thus their citizens LEARN. Estimates say 20,000- 40,000 jobs are being outsourced every week. Why? Businesses are tired of employees not showing up, getting sick, and demanding pay raises. It is easier to outsource to China, Russia, Japan, and other countries full of people willing to work without complaining about their boyfriends and girlfriends. We should not hold back the children who are willing to learn, so we can accommodate the ones who are forced to attend by a truancy officer.

As I continued to talk over the kids in the back of the class wearing hats, texting, and cursing, I began to get mad, not just at the kids but at the authority in that kid’s life. Respect is not taught by parents in the home. Parents do not teach their kids not to wear hats inside, how to open a door for a girl, or how to talk in public. I’m not saying conservative movements are bad but there are certain things that aren’t about movements, their about respect. You wonder why the world is full of abortion, divorce, sexual impurities, murders, rapes, and more? Respect. People have no respect for others and themselves. We have decided to compromise our beliefs in order to fulfill our own desires. IF WRONG WAS DONE TO YOU TEACH YOUR KIDS RIGHT… When your kid talks back, slap him. When your kid tries to walk out the house in a liberal attire, slap him (or get your wife to slap her) and have them change. Parents are responsible for their kids actions no matter how old they are when the kid was born or how much money you have. We live in a capitalistic society that cries out for success.

BE RESPECTFUL, ENJOY SUCCESS.
