Just a thought

So yesterday I was hanging out with a couple of locals (my name for those who are basically not in teacher corps, but have lived in Mississippi their whole lives), when we somehow got on the topic of Mississippi public schools. The guys I was with openly admitted to having "bad teachers" while growing up, and joked about the fact that the kids at their schools "just didn't want to learn." So were the "bad teachers" ultimately the cause of them not wanting to learn or the opposite? I don't know but it got me to thinking and whatever the reason may be, something must be done....NoW!

On Another Note:

I Thought this was pretty cool I received it in an email.
