This is truly sad. I live and Florida and my sister in law is a teacher and the stories she has told me a crazy. I personally blame parents who want think their kids can do no wrong.

My son is 8 years old in the third grade.

I just asked him this question and this was his answer. He could have gone on, but you get the point.


I asked him where he learned about what a camel is and he said "maybe I researched it"?

Not saying this proves anything, but it made me happy that he knew something about them and could conjure up a story at my request.

I'm more impressed that he knew to find water by digging in the desert -- future navy SEAL on your hands?

Like me and Mexico visited twice, will never go back!

mexico is absolutely one of the greatest places on the planet. like you i been there twice and to places you would not step foot into. that being my guess anyway....

mexico is riddled with culture and peace

most news channels only report on the crime in the border towns. mexico's ppl are fun loving kind and poor. they may be poor but they are very wealthy with soul

My experience the exact opposite on both the people, crime and current culture
and your guess would be wrong...
we went to places like that.

This was my point though that vacation destinations can change an opinion on a place
based on whether it was a good vacation experience or bad.
This what perhaps happens to Florida in some opinions.
Mexico was very bad for me both times.
It's the fool me once... thingy.... live and learn.

I won't bad mouth Mexico though knowing that my experiences are my own
and not the norm.

to quote chris rock...

"if your kid can't read it's mommy's fault. if the kid can't read because there are no lights in the house, that's daddy's fault..."

parent- "what is four plus four??"

kid- "jello!!"

"if your kid is dumb, you ain't saving college money, you saving BAIL money!"


i am thinking that it is the parent's responsibility to teach them basic things like what animals are what. are there no zoos in florida? are there no nature shows on tv there? are there not those awesome cards with the animals' pictures on them that they used to advertise on tv? is there no internet website devoted to animals? if i could go look books up in a library as a 9 year old, these kids can certainly google "camel".

to me it just seems like kids are not interested in things like animals these days. otherwise they would have an idea what a camel is.

The ROCK is right. :DThere has to be parental input for one's child to have some sort of success.

my 2nd trip to mexico did not entail a luxurious family vacation, far from it. we were searching for a abducted individual who was taken from his mother in the des moines, iowa area back in the 70's. in the late 90's my dad, my brother and i located this young man and reunited him with his mother and two younger twin sisters. at 3 years old or so he was told his mom died in a car accident then dumped in mexico by the father. he was raised in a brothel by ladies of the night.

yeah our trip didn't include sitting around on our asses scratchin our privates and drinkin into the night for shits and giggles. we had a job to do and we did it very well. :twisted:

thread integrity... learning as a young person is extremely difficult when no one gives a frig

it is not that big a deal, justly. i have read soo much worse insults elsewhere. this is very mild and quite factual actually. the truth hurts when being at the bottom stinks.

you are a teacher. and you are now residing in florida. perhaps it is time for some donating of your time; free tutoring at the local library, yes/no?
