Where Did All The Dumbasses Come From?

Support Your Children’s Teachers.

We don’t have many options left. I think it’s about time we turn to the people we entrust our children to five days a week, nine months out of the year, and ask them what they need … and then make sure they get it.

After reading through this morning’s news I had to get away from the computer and go take a walk. I can get through the Canadian news without too much difficulty, but sifting through news from the U.S. is becoming as difficult as trying to watch an entire program on Fox News. There’s just too much dumbassery to absorb, and I no longer have the stomach lining for it.

If teachers were allowed to do their jobs unhindered by bureaucracy and lousy paychecks, the rule of dumbasses would be over within a generation.

The National Council for Excellence in Critical Thinking defines critical thinking as the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action.

Critical thinking. That’s what the best teachers inculcate in their students. If a child has the opportunity to have two or three or four good teachers sprinkled throughout the elementary and high school years, that’s usually enough to ignite the life-long fire of critical thinking. And then on graduation day there will be one more person who will be able to tell the difference between Shinola and that other stuff.

Good teachers make future generations not suck.
