It was called, "Run into the street in front of a car and run back out of the way." They'd try to get others to play and call them stupid for not "knowing how to have fun."<br /><br />These kids were in the top class at our school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-20957673630460993662010-07-04T12:30:48.004-07:002010-07-04T12:30:48.004-07:00Meant it was a good things the kids DID retreat.

What if they had just been stupid enough to take you one?<br /><br />The thing is stupid people don't expire. They just go through life sucking off the system, you and me, and creating more stupid people to do the same.<br /><br />That doesn't happen in nature.<br />The sick, slow, stupid, etc. don't last long and they don't suck off of their fellow creatures. They just die or get eaten.<br /><br />Can we let the stupid people die?<br />Of course not but so far what we are doing to get them from stupid to decently intelligent isn't working. Oh yeah, we aren't doing anything to change that. We just throw checks at them to help them since they are stupid and can't get their act together.<br /><br />But they must be that stupid. They have learned how to work the system like pros. They manage to get the cash to buy all manner of junk while still letting the neccessities of life go wanting.<br /><br />Well there is stupid popping up it's stupid head again.....<br /><br />And we are stupid for letting it happen for so long and making the contant excuses for just plain stupid behavior.<br /><br />And the beat goes on...........<br />with the rythm unlikely to change..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-15269263933435299172010-07-01T21:03:17.998-07:002010-07-01T21:03:17.998-07:00ReelAphro, thanks for hearing where I'm trying...ReelAphro, thanks for hearing where I'm trying to come from.James C.

It’s just the smart thing to do. " I have to tell myself this-especially when working with kids as a teacher. I really appreciate your blog-and this post.ReelAphrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15256430915745313815noreply@blogger.com
