Testing standards keep getting lowered. Every time that you hear a polictician brag about how under them, grades have gone up, they conveniently leave out that the standards were lowered to make their tenure look better. However, we keep going backwards in world ranking. Grades going up as we move backwards? Makes sense to politicians and those that are being dumbed down.

Years ago I used to date a school teacher, and as kids progess grade by grade, Kindergarten through Grade 12, the dumb students get moved along as well, because when say, a Dexter Manley, that was a great football player whom couldn't spell his own name (Why Mike Ditka called him "grapefruit") graduated from school, no teacher wants to be the "one that failed" him or her. Say that you're a 6th grade teacher and you inherit a student that can't spell his or her own name or add 2 + 2, your tendency will want to be to fail the kid, or send him or her back. The problem with that then is that the people that you answer to will want to know why you failed the kid after he or she succeded all the way to your class, making you the failed link. You don't want that to happen, so what do you do? You pass them to the next schlub in line during this government funded "day care".

And by the way, these days kids aren't taught about George Washington or that 2 + 2 = 4, but they are taught that two mommies, two daddies, and solar powered cars are good things, while having a mommy and daddy, especially ones that drive an SUV are evil, even more so if they also own guns and read bibles.

How messed up are children these days? Congress and a certain president whose name I won’t mention, declared that they are still “dependents” until the age of 26, and how stupid are we? We let them do it. We let them get away with it. We accepted such failure. We should be ashamed of ourselves.

Today's Featured Article - Oliver 550 Clutch Overhaul Tips - by Greg Sheppard. I got my 1964 Oliver Model 550 (serial 141-139-519) second-hand and used it for several years before the clutch began to slip. After taking up the pedal linkage several times I saw it was going to take more than that. The engine had been leaking oil at the rear seal and I suspected ... [Read Article]
