I need to stop reading newspapers, because more often then not I am reduced to a annoyed, eye rolling wreck of a man.

Today's entry, an article about a teacher in the New York school system who quit and moved back to his home state of Michigan because he was disillusioned with how things were being done.

One of his students should have failed and failed horribly.  After not graduatingthe previous year, she attended his math class about half the time and didn't show up for the final.  She did, however, attend the Senior Prom.

She got the opportunity to take a make up final, and after two days of tutoring by another teacher, managed to score a 66.  Though a passing grade, not even close enough to getting her through the class and he failed her, only for the principal to pass her anyway.

 The best part was, the girl's mother is actually quoted as saying that her daughter did the required work and that the the teacher should "be a man" about it.

It's lovely to know that another dumb kid with an overblown sense of entitlement is going out into the big, wide world to do, something. 

Just another reason why I see myself living as a hermit in a Montana log cabin in the near to distant future, writing a rambling manuscript that no one will ever read,

sans the letter bombs, of course.
