AtomicCEO Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 It just proves those things are still fresh in their minds and they haven't reached the pot smoking stage and forgotten it all... I don't remember any studies that have conclusively linked pot with memory loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiegie Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 all I know is that those stupid liberal commie effeminate college professors are just people who not only don't know anything about the real world, but who also couldn't hack in the real world if even they tried to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I don't know if it's "cool" but I get the impression that Americans place less value on education (or perhaps more accurately the educated) than most other industrialized nations. It seems like a college education is seen as a stepping stone to a job, with little intrinsic value. As wiegie alluded to, it seems like a substantial segment of our propulation actually scorns the educated as "elitist." And educators receive far more scorn than respect. I think that the poor performance of US schools/students reflects this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irish Doggy Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I don't know if it's "cool" but I get the impression that Americans place less value on education (or perhaps more accurately the educated) than most other industrialized nations.

As wiegie alluded to, it seems like a substantial segment of our propulation actually scorns the educated as "elitist." And educators receive far more scorn than respect. I think that the poor performance of US schools/students reflects this. There is probably a bit of politics mixed in there as well. Since the teacher's union is always for the dems, educators are a popular target for the conservative talk shows. Wasting tax dollars, polluting the minds of our youth, blah blah blah. Also to your point... I recall a conversation I overheard in a restaurant a few months back. Two sets of parents with children at the same public school started talking about pulling their kids out of school for vacation. They were talking about how "difficult" it was to pull their kids out for a week when school was in session (not during a normal school break). All the "paperwork" and "administrators on power trips" and "teachers piling on homework" made me cringe. They were actually upset the teachers expected their kids to do the normal homework that all the other kids were doing that week. They were upset that the school disagreed with them pulling their kids out. It was so absurd to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
