The reason why the US educational system is a laughing stock is because your teachers suck.<BR/><BR/>And the very first few reasons why I can think of why they suck is because they lack honor in being honest with themselves, their content knowledge, and their ability to teach, and they lack the sense of duty in making sure their students learn what they need to get ahead in life. To a greater extent, that's also true of the teacher unions in the US. And guess which political party the teacher unions are most associated with?<BR/><BR/>I had a colleague go to the States for a study trip. She visited some of our equivalents over there, along with a bunch of the notes we use to teach, and the teachers there admitted they could barely understand what our students here in S'pore are learning.<BR/><BR/>If I had been there, I would have been inclined to ask them how the hell they could become teachers in the first place, and if they are taking any steps to remedy their pathetic lack.<BR/><BR/>I am inclined to gloat, but I also realize that a poorly educated populace of the foremost nation in the world is a recipe for disaster.The Wobbly Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301556031735052090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-659376244250383652008-10-17T13:58:00.001-04:002008-10-17T13:58:00.001-04:00I stood in line and got his book signed one day......I stood in line and got his book signed one day....it was very cool shaking his hand.MOMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307879234693014691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-6683274243751059192008-10-17T13:58:00.000-04:002008-10-17T13:58:00.000-04:00Easy does it, Rat...Easy does it, Rat...MOMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307879234693014691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-88078888621027682772008-10-17T13:56:00.001-04:002008-10-17T13:56:00.001-04:00Liddy read one of my missives on the air, years ag...Liddy read one of my missives on the air, years ago.

But, decision maker that he is, he went back on the show. What did he think would happen?<BR/><BR/>"Thursday night on CBS's Late Show with David Letterman, the longtime latenight talk show host kneecapped GOP Presidential Candidate John McCain over his relationship to Watergate planner G. Gordon Liddy.<BR/><BR/>"You will also admit that we cannot really control who we interact with in our lives, a hundred percent," said Letterman, referencing McCain's ubiquitous attack against Barack Obama that ties him to a 60's political radical. "I mean, you have ... You have ..."<BR/><BR/>McCain interrupted. "Depends on how long we interact with them and how we interact with them."<BR/><BR/>Letterman tried to cut in several times, but he was cut off by the candidate. <BR/><BR/>"The point is ... The point, the point of this whole campaign, the economy, the economy ..." trailed McCain, counting with his left hand, but ceeding to Letterman on his third 'economy.'<BR/><BR/>"Did you not have a relationship with Gordon Liddy?" asked the host.<BR/><BR/>"Um, I've met him, uh, you know, I mean, um ..." began McCain. <BR/><BR/>"Didn't you attend a fundraiser at his house?" asked Letterman.<BR/><BR/>"That's," sputtered McCain, looking trapped. "That's, what ... Is ..."<BR/><BR/>"I object, your honor!" shouted Paul Shaffer, Letterman's band leader, only after several seconds of McCain looking like a deer in a car's headlights.<BR/><BR/>The host laughed as he stared straight into the CBS cameras, broadcasting live. Smiling, Letterman concluded: "We'll be right back."<BR/><BR/>http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Letterman_nails_McCain_over_Gordon_Liddy_1017.html<BR/><BR/>You can see the clip there as well.<BR/><BR/><BR/>bobal, you are sounding like a sore loser these days and you haven't even lost yet.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06232405130481114127noreply@blogger.com
