I can see how he’d teach high school, considering his misuse of “abject.”
I recommend everyone look that word up.
======> self-abasing
Abject (adj), Abjectly (adv)
1. Brought low in condition or status.
2. Being of the most contemptible kind
3. Being of the most miserable kind; wretched
How is it misused?
The GOP gerrymandered him out of it.
Compulsory military service for all the little cretins and all the boot camps run by the USMC regardless of ultimate branch of service.
If you go out on a dishonorable you starve or find a job.
The discipline problem in schools would end with the next generation.
I looked it up, and will admit I was hasty in my judgement.
“I taught high school for one year in Deerfield Beach, Fla., and in the end, it was such an enjoyable experience breaking up fights daily, that I decided to return to the combat zone of Afghanistan,” West wrote. “Teachers are already disrespected and attacked, not feared. There were students at Deerfield Beach who steered clear of the lunchroom for fear of being picked on or engaged in a fight.”
West said the violence on campus “was perpetrated eight out of 10 times by black students, male and female, but it had nothing to do with racial disparity.”
“It had everything to do with a lack of discipline and control,” he wrote.
fyi - West called it more that a year ago...
Not surprised. A good man.
