Can I Mock?

"I wanna mock people," - Bradley Whitford, The West Wing
(I know that's not from a song, but it fits, so shut up)

Have you noticed how stupid people are getting? Both my parents are teachers, and I have to say that between the students and the parents, it's actually the parents that are idiots. I love that one quote from Homer Simpson. "Your child maybe an honor student, but you're a moron!" It's so true.

Like, for instance, my mother had an orentation for her Pre-K class. She talked about all different topics, like where the children will meet everyday, where they will play, what they will learn, and where they will eat lunch. Now, the answer to last question is in the classroom. However, the parents got a letter in their packet about how your child should act in the lunch room. My mother simply said to throw that away; it's useless, she doesn't even know why it was with everything else. Don't you know that at least three different parents ask what they should do with the paper on how to act in the lunch room?

Oh, and let's try this. My mother also said (about 10 ten times) that school for the three and four-year-olds will start on Monday, September 8. Don't you know that parents came with their child on Friday, September 5? I swear, people are becoming more and more like my grandmother; they only want to hear what they want to hear. Everything else? Nope.

And this is my personal favorite; when the teacher says something like "Okay, turn to page 10" and you have not one, not two, but three different people ask "What page?" Okay, you know those things on the side of your head? They are called ears! Try using them.

That's all I can think of for now.

More later.
