What the hell is wrong with our school systems?

Why do they let any bum off the streets teach?

Why do I have a 70-year-old, perverted, old hag (who has way to much time spent alone with her cats) teaching me Language Arts?

Why are teachers allowed to assign books that mention the F-bomb on every page?

                                                                           have explicit sex-scenes every three or four pages?

                                                                           have gays and rape scenes?

                                                                           have graphic violence?

                                                                           teach me horrible words I didn't even know existed?  

Why, Why WHY must I go through this hell?!?!?!?!?!

 

FIRE Margret Goeman! (or lite her on fire)

Re:
Sounds like your teacher assigned "Running with Scissors" by Augusten Burroughs. That's the book I assigned this term, too. I loved it, but it does have all the stuff you mention. I don't know if students would like Jane Austen, though. Have you read "Painted Bird" by Jerzy Kosinski? Now there's a book that will grow you up in a hurry!

Re:
Actually, it was She's Come Undone by wally lamb. I'm just glad it didn't have pictures.

Re:
Writing is interactive in a way that pictures are not. A good book is a book that makes you think. Did "Undone" make you think?
