Well kiddies, after a long but well deserved hiatus, I am back. And still blissfully pissed about a myriad of things. I don't even know where to begin!! I was having a conversation last night about teachers. In my job now, I have to speak to a lot of teachers all over the country on the phone and let me tell you, I know why we are behind every other damn country on the planet in education. J.H.C. these people are totally unorganized, belligerent, mildly retarded (I wish I could post some of the emails) and downright ridiculous. Why do I have to explain to the same woman 10 TIMES in 10 different phone calls how to make a purchase order from our company?! I swear to you it was so bad that I went through various stages of psychosis. First I was pleasant about it, then I was wondering what the fuck was wrong with her, then I got angry having to repeat myself over and over again, then I just went into this numb sort of state, then I just laughed about it. Then I got pissed again. And again. I hate to say it, but the American Indian schools I have to call....holy God. I don't think the women that answer the phone know what time it is, what year they're in and what planet they're on. It's pretty sad actually. Then there's Rhode Island. Because of those fuckers, I can now see why people go postal.
The thing that gets me in all of this is that these are the people teaching our children!! How does an unorganized generally hateful person teach young kids? How does one who can't figure out how to transfer a call mold minds? Someone that can't put together a coherent thought in an email is teaching little Johnny to read?!?! Now, don't get me wrong, at about the Superintendent level or speech or reading specialists, you see a lot of Dr. So-and-So's and when your speak to them they seem to have it together. But it's the Principals that really scare me. They scare me just as much as the students that sat next to me in college and read at a third grade reading level. I guess those people went on to be teachers, and one made it all the way up to President of the United States of America.
Now, being the way that I am, I'd like to question a few of these people and just ask them what the hell happened when they were supposed to be qualified to graduate from college. The Rhode Island folks just need a closed fist "slap" - perhaps it would knock some sense into them. Some I'd just like to tear into them and let them know that they are in fact stupid, plain and simple. But alas, I'd get fired in a heartbeat if I did that. And that's exactly why dumbasses get into the positions they are in - no one tells them they're freakin' idiots!!!
