TrueFLNative: OT School systems

Schools are run by very bloated bureacracies. Each large school district has a department of bureaucrats for each discipline--math, science, votech, etc. They have a ton of paperwork to feed the Feds. Teachers are loaded with administrative garbage to fill out. They spend as much time with administrative tasks as they spend teaching.

I know an excellent teacher who could not wait to retire because the paperwork she had to feed the administrators drove her up the wall.

And are we producing students of the same caliber as schools in Germany, Japan, China? Maybe at a 1 for 10 ratio.

Just another example of how sad this country is.

OT TrueFl (and all):

An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun

in one hand pulling a male buffalo with the other.

He says to the waiter:


'Want coffee.'



The waiter says, 'Sure, Chief. Coming right up.'



He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee.

The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp,

turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun,

causing parts of the animal to splatter everywhere

and then just walks out.


The next morning the Indian returns.

He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling

another male buffalo with the other.

He walks up to the counter and says to

the waiter

'Want coffee.'



The waiter says 'Whoa, Tonto!

We're still cleaning up your mess from yesterday.

What was all that about, anyway?'



The Indian smiles and proudly says ...


'Training for position in United States Congress:

Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull,

leave mess for others to clean up,

disappear for rest of day.'
