Why is it that each generation keeps getting dumber and dumber?

My school is divided into two different campuses, called the junior and the senior. The junior is grades 7 and 8 while the senior is 9 to 11.  So last friday on 4/20 a student at the junior was getting help from a guidance counselor to clean his locker( the counselor helps students stay organized). When suddenly the counselor finds some weed in his locker. So already you can see why I think these kids aren't very smart, because he already knows that the counselor can say at any given time lets go clean your locker.  What makes this even dumber is that the kid then says "Well I'm not the only one with that stuff", like thats going to help his case.  So teachers started searching lockers and when they realized that they were finding quit a bit of drugs they called the police.  Then the police came in with drug sniffing dogs and searched all of the lockers. Around 12 students were caught with drugs in their possession and one kid even tried to say that the white powdery substance that was found in his locker was his sisters makeup!  And then after all of this a girl in grade 8 decided she would get drunk in class today.  Now if this doesn't sound dumb to you then your pretty dumb yourself.

But honestly what is up with these  kids its as if they have all gone back in time when people weren't civilized. Kids in grade 9 tell teachers to F off and they don't respect anybody besides them self, well actually they don't really respect them selves with the amount of drugs they do.  I've even heard that girls at the junior school bring boys into the back to give them blow jobs!  Like WTF we never did that when I was that age, they're 12 to 14 years old for god's sake!  There is obviously something going wrong with these kids and I think it's the parent's fault.  Parents are to easy on their children and instead of proper parenting there more worried about trying to be the cool mom or dad.  These parents are going to have to realize that there not going to be very cool when their daughter comes home nocked up or their son has an addiction to heroin!  But that's only my opinion.           

Is what we hear from the media true?

Even though we would like to believe so, the media does not always tell the truth. Well, technically they tell the truth or else they would have a whole bunch of lawsuits against them but what they do is give you part of the story and let you assume the rest. This usually makes the story a lot worse then it is because people hear what they want to hear and this lets people's imagination go crazy. Just last week there was a fight between two high school students at the school I attend. During this fight, one student threw an unlucky punch that resulted in breaking the other students cheek bone in two spots and his eye socket. The student that threw the punch is now expelled from the school and is being charged with assault. Unfortunately the same student already has a record and will most likely be tried as an adult because he is 17. He has basically ruined the rest of his life or the beginning at least. But the worse part of this is that it was all over $20 of weed that the kid with the now broken face stole from the other. 

Now that you know what really happened I'll tell you what the media is saying. The compared the fight to David and Goliath fighting which is an exaggeration considering the one that lost was the same weight as the other but 4 inches shorter. The media also called the fight a surprise attack on the student that was injured which is far from true because both students planed the fight before hand and both showed up to the fight ready to fight. But what the media is really stuck on is the fact that nearly 50 students stud by watching without doing anything and video taped in on their phones. This as we found out was a big mistake but it was a reasonable action based on what we were told. We were told that the kid that lost the fight punched a girl in the face over the weekend so we were even hoping that he would get his ass kicked but nobody thought of the possible out comes. People now a days don't think of what a well placed punch can do because we always see fights on tv were both fighter walk away with maybe a black eye or a bloody nose but usually nothing worse. So when everyone herd the loud smack as the punch made contact there was a shout of surprise from all the onlookers as they realized that something went wrong. At this time it was to late to stop the fight but it does not make all of the students desensitized monster like the media is portraying them. Everyone makes mistakes so the students just have to learn from them and the media has to keep to the true story instead of publishing what people want to hear.     

Best grade 9 science project ever!!!!!

Quebec students full of ignorance!

The $1,625 tuition increase over the next five years, in Quebec, got the students out on the streets protesting. This is now the longest student protest in all of Quebec history and not the most peaceful protest either. There has been numerous arrests and injuries and riot control is all over Montreal and Quebec City. Not only are the protesters annoying the government they are also pissing of normal people trying to get places. This is really bad in Montreal where already half the roads are closed for construction and now even more are closed because of these protests. This shows that these students are very inconsiderate of other people, they even go and disrupt classes which have students that are fine with the tuition increase.

Professor contracts require that the semester ends June 15th which is leading to some Universities to say that the students that don't go back to school for the deadline will be jeopardising their semester. The Université de Montréal, Quebec’s largest university, announced Wednesday that it will extend the term into May for students who have already returned to class. At the same time, it said it can no longer guarantee students who haven’t returned that they will be able to finish their semesters. Groups representing around 25 per cent of Université de Montréal are still on strike.At the province’s second largest university, Québec à Montréal (UQAM), groups representing around half the student population are still on strike. There, the board of directors has made a plan that allows students to return as late as April 16 with the semester ending June 3.

Neither of Quebec’s large English-language universities, Concordia and McGill, plan to extend their semesters. Some of the largest student groups at those schools voted against the strikes. CEGEP courses must by law be 82 days long. Some CEGEPs have cancelled some or all summer classes to accommodate an extended term. One of them, College de Valleyfield, has told students that they must return to classes on April 12. This shows that the majority of protesting students are francophone and not english.

What doesn't make sense to me is that 200,000 students are still protesting compared to the original 300,000 because they think that there should be no tuition increase. But while they are protesting they are skipping school that they are paying for, if they fail the semester they will have to pay to redo it and who knows they might not even be accepted into the school to redo the semester. Besides Quebec has the lowest tuition fees in all of Canada at around $2,600 while Ontario students pay $7,600 and something. This is a huge difference and why not pay the extra $1,625 to have better schooling? Or instead of having a sell phone that costs $100 a month, get rid of it and then you wouldn't have a problem. Students have to learn to make sacrifices and that you have to work for the things you want and that mommy and daddy wont always be there to treat you as their prince or princess.

Giving teachers the right to physically fix a student's attitude in class, would be a great way to keep a class under control.   

Everybody has had a kid in their class when they were in school, that would disrupt the class' learning and the teacher's teaching. Usually these kids get kicked out of class and maybe end up being sent to the principal's office. But after a few times of paying the principal a visit the student doesn't seem to mind going to the principal's office because they realize that the principal can't do very much( thats what happens when there is no real punishment.

Some ideas to solve this problem would be giving teacher the right to smack students, separate students into different learning levels or just kick the disruptive students out of school. If teachers could beat the crap out of students like they used to be able to students would be more likely to listen in class because they would know that there are repercussions to their actions. Instead of now a days were all the students know that a teacher can't touch them. 

If we put different learning levels in school students would be able to learn with students that are of their learning caliber( so the idiots with the idiots and the smart kids with the smart kids). That way the disruptive or uninterested  students would be together, the average students would be together and the advanced students would be together. And that way the dumb kids will be able to feel a bit smart compared to when they felt like complete idiots when they were with the smart kids. The only students that might not like this would be the dumb of the dumb kids because then they will just be considered unfit for school and they might as well start applying at a Mcdonalds'. Some might say that this wouldn't work because if your in the lowest level then your looked down on and don't have a chance to do something with your life. Which is find of true unless you show improvement and go up to the next level. 

Kicking these disruptive students out off school for good is also a good idea it may not be as fun as smacking a kid but this way you get rid of the problem permanently. This solution might not turn out well because we would have a whole bunch of kids hanging around the streets with nothing to do but cause trouble, so maybe that isn't such a good idea.

Personally I would prefer to give teachers the right to beat the smug face off of those students that think they have the right to disrupt other kids' education just because they plan on working for minimum wage for the rest of their lives or that they don't plan on working at all and living off of everybody else.  They have to  realize that they are far from God's gift to the world because I would hope that god would send a hell of a better gift.
