It's The Schools Stupid!

These school massacres are in no way
"random" or "incomprehensible".
It surpasseth all understanding that
no one in major media has noticed that
these gut-wrenching stories all happened
in schools.
Schools; nowhere else.
These insane children clearly weren't
only killing classmates and teachers;
they were trying to kill their actual schools.
No doubt millions of other students
despise their schools,but don't actually
go insane,thank God. (No one else to
thank!)
American schools are generally
worthless; so bad our schools are ranked
40th in the world.
Fortieth.
Why?
How can even a worthy teacher dispensing
info compete with Google,which dispenses
better info on anything in a quarter of a
second? Every kid in America now has
the attention span of a gnat on meth.
And how can students learn how to
be happily social when Facebook--an
anti-social device invented by a famously
anti-social person--has so devalued
the very word "friend" that 1 out of 6
people on Earth now actually believe
they have a hundred "friends".
Yet all "major media" from
The New York Times on down (on up
would be more accurate these days)
parrot each other with the same old
babbling drivel about "guns". (Of course
guns should be hard to get. So what?
You think any of these lunatic kids
from Columbine to Newtown couldn't
have gotten guns no matter how illegal
they were?)
The truth is,our schools are killing
more millions of hearts,minds and souls
--as you read this--than a bunch of
clinically insane teenagers ever could
with guns.
We need a new learning system in this
country that uses the fun info Google
delivers in a way that caring teachers
can turn the info into Knowledge.
Few Google addicts--no one more
than myself---can even remember
there's a difference anymore between
info and knowledge (meaning).
Bob Dylan said it all.
Twice.
1. "Your schools that do not teach!!"
2. "Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the Day Shift
Look out kid!
They keep it all hid!
