Let me at 'em

This is a blog for people who hate school, hate the instructors who taught them, hate the students they teach, hate the system that keeps spiraling downward with sickening haste, and continue to participate in the train wreck that is the American educational system. If you care to be productive, that's your deal. Some of us just need to vent before we lose our minds and start sniping.
This is NOT a place for non-participatory, slack-jawed imbeciles who want to quip, "5k00l 5uxx". Drop out if you hate it that much, but don't come crying to your ex-teachers when the best job you can find is schlepping Slurpees at your local Skippy Mart. Nor is this exactly a forum for the betterment of the System. Most of us who teach in the public schools are at the mercy of our districts, or at best, our unions. If you have a genuinely practical idea on how to keep from strangling the oppositional-defiant twerp in your class, then by all means, let's hear it. But don't assume your sunny disposition/ youthful idealism/smug veteran's status is a panacea for those of us who just wanted to make a difference, but now just want to make it to June.
