Here's a bit of free-range ventilation:
I can't stand pricks who don't have enough dignity to pick up a phone and discuss an issue civilly. Instead, they spend their time, ink, stamp, and paper to be an asshole and send you a letter explaining just how big of a douchebag they are. Now, the letter didn't actually say that, but the essence was unmistakable. I hate the condescending tone of older folks. I'm all about respecting elders, but really, give me the benefit of the doubt. Just because you're a tool doesn't mean that I'm incompetent. I can't stand kids that don't want to learn. I get it. You don't like school. You don't like me. You don't like the administration. You don't like your parent. You don't like yourself. But the fact is, you have plenty of people who know what they're talking about, telling you that school is necessary and a good idea for your future. Get your head out of your ass. I didn't like school either. But I was smart enough to know what was good for me and my future. Any kid is bright enough to figure that out. Kids are too soft. I'm softer than my dad. And he's softer than his. This is not a good trend.
I'm assuming some pissed off parent wrote the letter?

ReplyDeleteThat may be worth keeping, Darren. Rants can often be fruitful poetic material. (See "Howl.")
