If there is wide scale students not giving a damn, then there are things systemically wrong with a country.  It could be the whole gospel of self-esteem taught, kids growing up in broken homes, or something else at the root of the problems.  But there is something going on wrong, wide scale.

In my case, I did try to substitute teach for a bit in a city school district near me.  Was one of the worst experience I had.  I thought the kindergardners were terrible.  Sheesh, at least I got them to sit quiet.  It was the high schoolers who were a big problem.

Well there are...

Sadly, I'm going to be a High Schooler soon.
