and who made you God? By titansrst

I am deeply mystified by True Blue, an obvious apologist for the failures of children.

No one is looking for excuses, in fact, That teacher was clearly taking too much blame and, yes, there are LAZY children, bred

of lazy parents who teach their kids that shortcuts and minimal effort mean success. I know all about Marva Collins....I wrote newspaper articles about her methods. They have worked for her...Bravo...but others using her ideals have not achieved the same success rate. No method universally works. ...Lack of effort?...If she is like most of us, that writer has invested hundreds of extra

hours in making her students bright. But you can sit on your moral high horse and pass judgement on the efforts of others. You probably excuse 13 year old murderers because "they're too young to understand the errors of their way." You have a lot of nerve questioning anyone's effort. If you are so damn perfect, let us share collectively in your wisdom. Let us drink from your well of greatness so we may learn how you've taken classrooms of kids each year and churned out 100 percent rates of passage on your comprehension exams. What I have loved about this site i the huge levels of non-judgemental support colleagues share. Thd whole world blames educators for everything short of 9/11, the King and Kennedy assassinations, and Christ's execution. Give Up, don't give up.
