School in 1959 versus 2009

19 October 2009 • by Bob • Humor

I was sent this list of how several things have changed in our educational system and lives over the past 50 years, and it's a sad but true observation of how "Trying to Make Things Better™" ultimately makes things worse...

SCENARIO 1: Jeffrey will not be still in class, he disrupts other students.

SCENARIO 2: Johnny and Mark get into a fist fight after school.

SCENARIO 3: Mark gets a headache and takes some aspirin to school.

SCENARIO 4: Jack goes quail hunting before school and then pulls into the school parking lot with his shotgun in his truck's gun rack.

SCENARIO 5: Billy breaks a window at his school and his Dad gives him a whipping with his belt.

SCENARIO 6: Pedro fails high school English.

SCENARIO 7: Johnny takes apart leftover firecrackers from the Fourth of July, puts them in a model airplane paint bottle and blows up a red ant bed.

SCENARIO 8: Johnny falls while running during recess and scrapes his knee. He is found crying by his teacher, Mary. Mary hugs him to comfort him.
