I hear ya!

I'm sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the 91, figured this could be a cool topic since anyone that lives in California deals with traffic almost on a daily basis.... Today I would like to focus on What middle school and high school kids should learn to better their lives instead of bullshit classes like ceramics, drafting, art, computer and drama. They should teach gun control, taxes, sex Ed real sex Ed not some bullshit, self defense, resume writing, interview classes, money management, basic citizens rights, healthcare since it's the law now stupid ass Obama , purchasing cars and homes, applying for college and college loans. Just a little traffic discussion to pass time. Feel free to argue or agree 👍🏻

First off, I do agree that there does need to be more "life skills" classes offered in our public school systems. But 3/4 of kids today don't even care enough to pay attention to what is going on in the classroom.
2 problems, students think cellphones/social media is more of a priority and are constantly on them in the classroom. Secondly, now that "Joe" didn't care and isn't doing well in school who does the parents blame. Not the kid who dosnt care, shows up late and is constantly on there phone. The parent blames the teacher who is under payed, under funded, and has a over crowded class room.

Now, next time you want to go calling art and ceramics bullshit classes you should think about what you are saying. 90% of students that take these classes are the kids that are better off and trying to prepare themselves for college, Because? They are college requirements !!!!!!!Good arts teacher actually integrate a ton of life skills into their curriculum like resume writing, cost, and selling.

How would I know, Ive been a ceramic arts teacher for six years now. Now I do agree common common core is a crock of shit, I do think ceramics and other arts are essential to give these kids a creative out.

Sincerely a bullshit ceramics teacher

I completely agree that kids don't pay attention and social media/ phones are a big distraction. I'm Sorry I might have throw the word bullshit loosely around, remember this is just my opinion & more of a hobby/ fun. And I know a lot of kids take it because it is an easier class not saying that it isn't need or be replaced but these life skill classes that I mentioned should be put in front of those classes and should be a requirement. I love art and photography and I think anyone that does will always pursue it. Setting are youth up for a successful future is my main concern because they are the future. Common core is complete bullshit and confuses kids more then making them more proficient at math.  Sorry if I hurt your feelings Jake I just know kids take it because 50% of them realize it's and an easy and fun class. There are also teacher that don't give two shit also. There will always be problems. Remember this is a traffic rant, obviously I was in a bullshit mood.
Sincerely Brandon's bullshit opinion

It's all good bud.
As an educator I do agree that the youth today is extremely out of touch. "Common sense isn't so common"

This common core deal is the worst thing that has hit education since no child left behind.
Originally Common core was supposed to tie in life skills to normal curriculum but Obama and the CTC turned it into what we see today. Crap!

Where do you teach at? My little brother and sisters went to school in Blythe for a year or two when my parent moved to the river. Common sense is hard to teach both kids and adults hahaha. Yeah it's just a big mess. Man I would to loved to have you teach me growing up, one badass teacher squeezing nitrous on the weekends 👌🏻 that's a role model in my eyes!! Can't wait to enjoy a cold one this summer.

Honest question,  forgive my ignorance.

Why are students allowed to have their phones powered up in class?

When I was in High School,  we got yelled at for passing a damn note to see if someone wanted to hang out after school.

Times have changed. That's for sure.

I say no phones until after class time is over.

The sense of entitlement of this new generation is appalling.

I work with a newbie and I've caught him on his phone numerous times during work hours,  I told him straight up, if I catch you again, you're off the job. 20 minutes later, I caught him again, I sent him home. Hope it was worth losing a days pay over.

When I was in school we weren't allowed to gave our phones out or they were confiscated and a parent had to pick then up

Problem is now all these little shit sticks think they are entitled and will literally fight a teacher if they touch their phones. Then their friends film it and the teacher is fuked

This country has really lost it's way

true about the kids fighting the teachers. Work for the district three kids beating on a female teacher and a maintenance worker stopped it and held a kid till help came and he lost his job!!!! Don't hear about that stuff on the news!! So just gives the kids more ammo and know we can't do anything about it! See it every day sickening!!!!!!

Holy smokes, that has to be the worst way to ever solve a math problem. Now it's going to take two pages of paper and 20 minutes to solve 100-3....
Wow is all I gotta say about that

I have an 8 year old daughter and a five year old son, it's so hard for me to try to explain to my daughter what these common core math problems are asking and the strategy/ terminology they would like for you to use to solve the problem and she's extremely sharp math student. My wife gave up cuz she just doesn't understand it either. But how could possibly expect anything good from our president.

This...!! Mind you have a BS in Construction with a minor in Accounting, I had to complete math through calculus. As well as my grandfather was a college level calculus teacher for over 30 years. Yes I know math.

I get confused trying to explain the process to complete the equations... Granted I struggle slightly with proper English, but still.

Common core is ridiculous and the teachers none spend all year teaching these kids how to pass a test, not to actually learn anything. It's all about how to get the best test scores, it's extremely frustrating as a parent.
