No wonder edjamucation is such a joke

Part of my youth was spent growing up during a time when the education system was suffering the first of its modern upheavals. I was even given the opportunity to go to one of those free schools – the kind where teachers were your friends and schedules were something the other schools had. Thankfully my parents came to their senses and I ended up going through the standard public school system.

However even that didn’t save me from the inanity that has become our education system. Increasingly it is being built around what is politically correct and what isn’t. Good teachers are being hamstrung by the warm and fuzzy crowd that has invaded their ranks. Kids are being floated through a system that apparently from the picture above can’t even spell. It has gotten to the point where even the idea of calling themselves schools is passé.

Why else would we have a school in England that has banned the use of the word school in its name. Apparently the reasoning is that the word school has negative connotations and these bastions of education should be known as a place of learning. No ringing of the bell at the end of class for these students (are they even called that anymore?) and students are encouraged to wear soft shoes indoors all to make the place more welcoming.

Mind you the price tag for this new center of learning was a cool £6 million so I imagine they didn’t want the floor of their fancy learning center to get all scratched.
