Texas is only 6000 years old.

This troubles me. The way they're trying to erode away scientific evidence in favor of biblical hoo-haa. Texas is a major textbook supplier to the rest of the US. How can teachers, then, trust the textbooks that they're getting to state the facts?

I also fear for the children of Texas. We're going to get some Grade A morons in the coming years....

I got out of school right before they implemented a TON of new changes. I was so happy I didnt have to put up with allt he new **** they make kids put up with now.

Mandatory gym class for grades 8-12. For us it cut off after grade 9, and we had another elective. lol too many fat kids I guess. They now start collecting credits in grade 8 instead of 10. They finished building the middleschool up the street, and now funnel all the preteen idiots into there, instead of just thrusting them right into highschool in grade 8 like we were. Who knows what else they've changed since in the 5 years since Ive been out of highschool.

Hell I was in back in town last year and stopped by to say high to a few favorite teachers, and saw that they had ****ing TVs all over the school constantly displaying current school events and ads, and the principal even did announcements on the TVs. Vending machines all over the damn place. It was like being in a hightech prison where they shuffle you from room to room every few hours with a mighty overlord watching you at all times. D:

The most noticeable changes I've seen since leaving high school is the NCLB yearly testing they make ALL grade levels do now, and the addition of the Smart Board to the classroom (****ing things are SWEET).

Whats a smartboard? It sounds new, and needlessly full of technology, and I already dislike it!

It's what they hit you with if you start talking crazy things like evolution and big bang theory.

I'm a christian, but I believe that a lot of the stuff in the bible is actually metaphors for something or other. I despise morons who think that the earth is only a few millenia old (millenia = 1000 years). If that were true, then why are there records of things like dinosaurs that're around 2 billion years old? Are dinosaurs heretics?

Smart boards are basically white boards that can interact with your projector and computer. Multi-touch, digital markers, the works. I can't wait to get my hands on one.

Jesus buried those bones to test your faith, DUH!

Texas can secede. Go for it, have fun.

Our fancy liberal new york universities where the universe is 13 billion years old or whatever used those.

Pieces of **** never worked properly.

If god hadn't wanted creationism taught in schools he wouldn't have let the vote pass.

I've only heared this from teachers, but the scool system is built around the prison system.

And it makes sense really. I mean, they start you off in preschool forming lines were nobody is allowed to talk, in the middle of the day there is courtyard time, you get to the school in a cramped bus, etc.

Smart boards were nice. They seemed a little over-complicated for what they needed to do.

Call me a sick ****, but seeing a 5 year old waterboarded by a 1st grade teacher and the Principal would make me giggle. :-D

also, this one time Randy Beaman threw scalding hot pizza on Jimbo, and said "I'm not stuck in here with you...YOU'RE stuck in here with ME!!!"
