School days

Education has taken yet another beating, this time in Coshocton, Ohio. There are probably other places where this abomination also takes place, but Coshocton was featured on P BS. In the media's quest for scandal, they came across this story which some jerk from Stanford convinced them was a good idea. It isn't, and it should join all the other liberal garbage that pollutes the airwaves in the trash can.

I know you're waiting anxiously to learn what I'm talking about, so here it is. The misguided "educators" of Coshocton are paying students cold cash to perform well on those standardized tests that some people think are some kind of magic elixir. They aren't, and they, too, should be disposed of.

Back to the cash aspect. Knowledge, like virtue, is its own reward. When I went to school, it was in anticipation of learning something I hadn't known the night before. All students should be imbued by their parents with this wonderment, and the teachers should nurture it. The payment must be curiosity and the satisfaction thereof. Money can never compete with that.
