The Future of this Country

Serious here...just happened...

Reading "The Odyssey" in class....

Kids working in group reading "pods" (as designed by the SC Dept of Education) with guided questions...a debate flares up so I check in...

A 9th grader is seriously arguing that at the horizon's edge, there is a huge waterfall...

Kid tells me I'm wrong when I explain the horizon and the Earth's curvature...point it out on a map...show him the globe...not buying it.

Yet, I am held "accountable" by "No Child Left Behind."

The Earth is flat...in 9th grade.

Damn.

Did you also break it to him that there is no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny?

Hahahaha.... Check out the flag....

Grad, you should have been like you know what genius.. if you show me and prove to me the earth is flat you pass this class without ever doing anything the rest of the year.. If you can't then you I hear nothing from you the rest of the year..

Geez, everybody knows that the end of the earth is close to Buffalo. I read it in Exodus and it is called Niagara.....:biggrin:

Buffalo's not on the edge. It's right in the middle... of nowhere.
