Crazy Kids

 For about six months, I've been randomly reviewing some videos (mostly from news organizations) of teachers who've quit.  I would guess I'm up to about sixty of these that I've watched.

The story mostly goes this way.....teacher 'Joe' has done this stuff for 20 years....each year it gets rougher with ten-percent of the kids in some wild threatening mentality (to the classmates and the teacher)....teacher finally having enough and just quitting.  On the backside of this....the school board then reflects on the problem of recruiting new teachers, but admitting there's no problem because the university system is pumping out teachers left and right.

Cops now getting involved?  Well....you notice that from time to time....that cops are getting some call to pick up 'Woody' (the 13-year old nutcase) and parents have to come down to some station to pick up the kid....getting all  hyped-up that he was removed from school (mostly blaming the school director or some teacher).

Freak show?  Well.....yeah.  It's like you paid some traveling circus to bring out the 'wild-man' from Borneo (the 13-year old nutcase), and he (or she) gives you a pretty good case for putting them into some mental ward for juveniles.  

The chief problem you see after enough of these....the 90-percent of kids in the school were supposed to be learning from this 7-hour day...but they fell behind because they were captivated by the 'wild-man' from Borneo act.  You get two or three of those a day,  and after a while....you marginally advance in learning because of the 'show' you watch at school.

The only way out of this?  Remove the school barrier and just have prosecutors/judges/LE lined up to handle the crazy kids.  If they need to be taken to some juvenile center for filling sandbags, or haul hay for 12 hours a day....so be it.

The odd end of this whole mess?  The 'wild-man' from Borneo will be sitting there at age 40, with the intelligence level of a 5th-grader....flipping burgers, and wondering where he screwed up.
