Me, personally, I don't see nothing wrong with this scandal concerning the teachers who are involved. You got to pass them kids. Now, you can go spiritual and all that is true. I'm proof of that but what about help to the teachers and the administrators of their schools? There isn't none. Its one against 50 students per a classroom. That is assuming they have no learning disabilities or other behavioral issues. Still rough. But the reality of it, many of these kids slip through the cracks. Embarassing, yes. But I'm sure a radio station will hire these former teachers to rig the arbitron or armitron, bringing money to the station. Yippee!
I have never stolen a talk show format from another station or rigged money from a sales manager? Nah? Who cares about productivity when its all about winning. The Raiders motto, if you ain't cheatin, you ain't tryin." I really don't care for morality. You can blame children, parents, or the teachers. I don't blame any of them. Its not about serving your community and the community serving you. The attitude is survival and winning.
Actually, its about whether you are married with kids and a job. Taxes penalize a person for being single. I would say most kids grow up to be successful at that. Most marriages don't last past 10 years regardless of profession and income. Alcoholism and drug abuse crosses all lines with absolute destruction and force. You can be smart but a disease will always outsmart you. Another thing, cheating goes on in private schools as well. The parents and alumni put money in the schools for their children. In return, a nice legacy for future generations.
In short, every person for themselves. Kids are encouraged to educate for themselves or their family but are they encouraged to educate for the community when they are told how brutal "the world" is? As for the folks involved, I may not like it but I understand so should the community including our media because they are all in it for themselves. Sweeps, anyone?
