School is no longer about learning, it's about passing
Before calculators, schoolchildren used to be able to do long division in their heads (source: the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder).

School is no longer about teaching, it's about school districts getting taxpayer dollars for each student and colleges getting student loan money (which is secured by the federal government, so the school will get paid even if the student defaults eventually) and that's why tuition keeps going up and programs keep teaching less and less useful things. (Know how to fix your car? Nope. Know how to make a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting the theories of BF Skinner to the theories of Piaget? Yepppppp).

Something in the food, water or with technology created since the 1930s is probably causing ADHD because there did not used to be this much ADHD.
We still don't have Replicators or Transporters that Abigail can share with the world as the first starfleet officer on Earth.
Folks who say violence is never the answer, have obviously never had to cut down a tree before.

At work we were talking about kind of furry he would be. But that's... probably not a good topic. But it's like...why, would I skip work today when we have such interesting conversations at work? Oh, and it's Big League. He's saying big league. But that's...not really important... he also said ""euphanism"....anyway, just make sure your people vote in 2020! I've got to make sure I have my address straight with them by 2020, we've moved so many times, it made me not able to vote for governor last time.

True. I have to admit I haven't. But I don't know if you could call what I eat and throw away "food," it's been processed into something with very little nutritional value. But yeah. Good point, we have no idea how hard it is to farm. Well, I don't, anyway.

Yeah, this is why I sometimes wish people were telepathic.

Ok, see, I speak fluent Star Trek but I'm not fluent in anime, so while I know what a relicator is, I unfortunately don't know what a Raktajino is. But I'll replicate some synthohol.
Don't point out the speck of sawdust in someone's eye when you've got a plank in your own eye.
