Stupid Students, Taught by Stupid Teachers

(Link at bottom of the page):

Every morning I watch the Today Show with Matt Lauer and Meredith Viera, live from studio 1A in Rockefeller
Plaza, and although they never report actual news they had an interesting story about a teacher commented on how students are in terms of education in the 21st century. Natalie Munroe an English teacher from Pennsylvania posted on her blog titled "Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?", described her students as
"utterly loathsome" suggesting that her students should work in a trash company and describing them as "rude, disengaged, lazy whiners." In one blog post she said, "There is no other way to say this: I hate your kid."  

Because of her blog, she has gotten suspended from school with pay. Which is what I don't understand? I agree with her 100 percent when she said that students are "rude, disengaged, lazy whiners," because they have no manners and they simply just don't care about anything and they have no manners. I don't blame her for saying this, because it starts at home. One of my mother's friends works for a school and she has says that it is the PARENTS that call the school up, asking if Mrs Laplasky can talk to her child about taking the garbage out, and how important responsibilities are.
When it comes to education, you ask a high school student what a book is and they respond with, "Spark Notes?". Students care more about who is getting herps this week on the Jersey Shore; who we have to stalk and threaten to kill because Justin Beiber dated this celebrity; or when Stephanie Meyer is coming out with the same book only from Edward's perspective.(future post) I just want to put it out there that when she said that her students should work for public works, I was a little offended.

But what I don't about her is why would she not post it to an e-mail or author her blog under a pen name like Mark Twain; especially if the blog was meant for her husband and a few friends. And instead of shutting the hell up for a few days, she decides to continue blogging about the controversy. Its obvious that she doesn't care whether or not it matters if she is terminated. finally, the funny thing about this story is that if they terminate her she has the perfect opportunity to file a lawsuit. Some people just don't know when to SHUT THE HELL UP!
