Would the last honest, hard-working American please turn out the light?
Sounds like where I work but they keep most of them for some reason. When a special needs type is on the path for termination, it usually takes a few months unless it something really big.
Garbage In - Garbage Out
Tomany American College Campuses are infested with liberal buffoon professors.
You teach garbage, you graduate garbage..
So then they want experienced people, but still only offer them 22k a year...and wonder why they can’t find a decent employee.
They loved her! Apparently this kind of work ethic is not as common as it used to be.
I taught high school until about 5 years ago. I used to think how frightening it was that these were the folks who were going to be running things in a few years. Of course, I had some wonderful students, but most were lazy, couldn’t follow directions and thought life was going to be handed to them on a silver platter.
On the other hand, I remember thinking, after I got out of college, that it hadn’t really prepared me for a job.
That's a good one...
Welcome to the "employer's market" sweetie. Yes, it did happen overnight--enjoy!
We can start by doing what the greatest president of our time wanted to do. Abolish the Dept of Education. This dept. is totally worthless and a mega cash drain.
And in case you don’t know which president I was referring to—Can you spell Reagan?
One of the lessons of work life is there are good bosses and bad bosses. There are many good bosses out there so don't waste any time with the bad ones.
Very few parents, high schools, and colleges think they need to teach personal responsibility. They used to.
More “stupid” than unprepared?
One thing the article doesn’t directly read, is that these companies are recruiting college kids.
There are many older people like myself who can’t even get a look by these same whiners.
The informaton in this article is no surprise to me. I suspect that it is fairly common knowledge that the educational system in America is ineffective. It is a failure, and intentionally so.
That is if you see a satisfactory education producing students who have mastered basic skills (the 3 Rs), the ability to think critically and a desire to become successful at whatever field of employment they choose. That is just one view of a successful education.
Sadly that is not the view that prevails today in American education. As long ago as 1983 a woman, I forget her name, who headed up the United States Department of Education described another model. She was addressing the annual gathering of governors.
She began her remarks by pointing out that those who felt the education system to be inadequate did not understand the reality of the system. According to her, educators were engaged in a total transformation of society. Without going into too much detail I will say that there were two things that struck me about her comments on the video I was watching.
One was that she was speaking to the nation’s governors. They were being made aware of the “total transformation’ American educators were initiating on American society.
Secondly, I was reminded of the changes John Dewey implemented in the educational system. This icon of American education opened the first “laboratory school” in New York in 1896. He was a socialist and an enemy of the capitalistic economic system in America.
He indicated that teaching children to read when they entered school was a mistake. He intended to first shape their “attitudes and opinions”. Reading would come after that.
Now we have students who can’t read receiving high school dipl;omas they can’t read. We have several generations of citizens who are ignorant and without the skills to become productive.
No, the article doesn’t surprise me at all. It is scary to consider that America’s governors know what is happening to young American children and to our society. I think Barack Obama could only have been elected POTUS because of American education.
Don’t hire liberal arts majors.
