[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work as a teacher in a Southern Maryland High School and I have to say 80% to 90% of the children are dumber than dirt. They lack the intellectual capacity to even spell simple words like "though" or "their". I'm not trying to talk against them but I wish they weren't so damn dumb. All they care about is Facebook, Twitter and other stupid stuff.[/quote]

I am a college instructor in developmental skills classes (read remediation for people who didn't study in high school or who went to lousy high schools).  Lots of dummies in September.  Good news is that they can actually change and learn to think and many do really improve and turn out not to be so dumb after all.  Don't lose hope.  [/quote]
Those kids aren't dumb, they are ill-prepared. The OP and the rest of the [b]lazy ineffective 'teachers' [/b]who take jobs in low-performing elementary/middle schools and don't even try because its so much easier to just blame the kids are responsible for that. Thanks for not giving up on them.[/quote]

You spelled “parents” wrong.[/quote]
