Stupidity Amazes Me

How do these people manage to graduate from highschool, let alone make it through university? I am, of course, speaking of my wonderful classmates. In general they're wonderful people, but reading some of their writing I wonder how they are graduating seniors. I've said it once and I've said it again... the California school system is failing somewhere and failing constantly! It is letting these students down. These human beings are going to go into the world thinking that they can write and are skilled, just because they made it through university. ARGH! The problem is... once it reaches the university point, it won't be corrected. Any problems they have are there to stay.

Yes, I know I'm not going to the best university in the world, but it is a university and should have some standards. Although what bothers me the most is that they graduated from highschool without being able to do things like make plurals. How how how! And they turn papers in with these mistakes! ARGH! I can't do anything to fix it... but it makes me wonder where these now adults were failed. It is not their fault that they don't know this, but more the schools. Why were they not held back in 5th grade or something until they learned? Because they're so afraid of leaving a child behind. So afraid that these children will enter the world even farther behind. It is hard to learn algebra when you don't understand arithmetic.

Same problem in sweden :-( And again, more higher paid theachers will solve the problem!

I'd like to see tests go in. You don't pass this test. The following year you get special tutoring in the subjects you need, if you still fail, you stay back a year to catch up. Not good for any student's self-esteem to always be behind.

You know... when you type like this you don't exactly look like the type of person I'd want teaching children in society. ;) I pray it sounds better in Swedish. ;)
