The kids and their parents are the reason that public education sucks today. This inane list is a perfect example of that.

7. As an assignment in my 10th grade government class each student was
assigned a U.S. political figure at random, and we were to research
their views on a laundry list of issues-of-the-moment. The ultimate
goal was to use this information to write up a mock interview,
showcasing said figures standings in a realistic manner. Being that i
ended up with Jesse "The body" Ventura, I felt obligated to forego any
and all research. Instead I opted to write the most detailed and long
winded questions my 15 year old vernacular would allow, to which
Ventura would reply by quoting his various lines from "Predator".

Sadly my presentation of this masterpiece wasn't very well recieved. I
made it almost half way, when Venturas response of "I ain't got time
to bleed" regarding an abortion question proved enough for the teacher
to ask me to stop.

So basically, you were incredibly lazy and unwilling to research a Jessie's political views. And this somehow makes you think that because you are really stupid, the education system must therefore also be stupid. I fail to see the point.

How did he die?" I answered, "He cheated at poker, and was then
brutally raped and murdered by the mafia, drunks, clowns, and a
housewife."

I can see that public education has clearly failed you. I skimmed a few of them, but this one contributes nothing to the point of the thread, which would be examples of why public education sucks.

Since you don't tell us if those answers earned perfect scores, we only know that you are a dumbass who wrote stupid answers on a vocab quiz, and presumably got them wrong.

In other words, you are an example of why public education sucks. Even God can't cure dumbshits.

They bust ass for a month on a term paper or thesis or whatever, get a B.
Throw together some crap 48 hours before due date, get an A.

EVAR!

EDIT:
Since I feel like ranting, I may as well go on.
I have managed to avoid the horror of college so far but I hear it?s a miserable experience, particularly if you know how to think.
Based on what I've learned from friends, college is mostly set up for the benefit of the staff. It?s a way for them to justify their existence and force their ideas on impressionable kids.
Ol' boys girlfriend from Six Feet Under summed up college professors quite well in an early episode of the 2nd season. But its been a while and I cant recall exactly what she said. I may have to go research that.

EDIT 2: Got it.
