My ultimate reaction is that that knowledge means nothing to them since they have no intellectual curiosity, but regardless of the reason for that depressing ignorance, I still believe that the majority of those people would have been interested in a high school course that provided them with practical world knowledge, since I think that the reason that they didn't know that GERMANY WAS A ****ING COUNTRY (or something along those idiot lines) was that it simply didn't feel relevant to their lives and wasn't worth knowing. And yet in-job those people could be perfectly intelligent, even more intelligent than me, because tbh I can be kind of dumb when it comes to practical matters, and my coworkers can be kind of smart. To the point that they actually rise above the level of ape that I might otherwise ascribe to them, no matter how much I might want to denigrate them FOR NOT KNOWING WHAT ****ING GERMANY IS.

He walked away and I said, “That’s what I thought, bitch.” I was really going to **** his **** up real bad if he gave me one more reason. And then I just didn’t return to work anymore. Now I don’t have a job. If he hadn’t walked away I’d be in jail.

It’s one thing to put up with disorderly kids but they’ve become so emboldened that they actually bully the teachers. I didn’t snap. I almost snapped. If I snapped you would have read about it somewhere else.

Behind the scenes almost every teacher says the same thing. It’s ****ing pointless. This idea, that idea. The ugly truth is we’re being populated by the last people who should be having kids. I promise you, single mothers do not want their kids. They’re paychecks. The kids are just a ****ty job they hate. The kids know they’re hated because they’re neglected and treated like a burden.

Universal Basic Income. Don’t reproduce your worthless DNA to blackmail society into supporting you. We need to support them regardless and stigmatize people who have kids that shouldn’t. The government punish them; the public should.

**** these women with 5 kids from 5 different fathers and no means at all to support them. Not financially or emotionally. Then dump them off at “school”. Then people talk about why the schools are ****ed.

See for your ****ing selves

Bat, have you ever considered making your own comic book?
