Mad as Hell

1-23-13

It seems bad to me that I get so giddy when then boss is out.

The public school system is broken. It is no longer about what we can teach our children in order to give them a leg up in life. It is now simply ways to eliminate free time and drill repetitive motions into them which only seem to produce frustration in both parents and children alike.

I am tired of it. I am tired of all of it. I hate having to stand over my children and practically beat them to get any work done. They are tired. They just spent a day doing more work in those 6 hours than I used to do in the same grade over the course of a week. Their work load is horrible. Don’t even get me started on the lack of physical education which is practically non-existent and they wonder why the kids are fat.

I just wrote an angry letter to the school board rep for our district. I then forwarded it his aides and then a shit ton of other people on the web site contact list. I want fucking answers. I want to know why my 7 year old has a report in which he has to go down to the fucking library and check out books yet it not allowed to utilize the current medium in which all people do their research. That’s right, he can’t use the internet to get information. Yet apparently it is no big deal to make families take their kids down to the library to get the materials. The fucking teachers should be taking them to the library in the school. She should be showing them how to look in the card catalog and find what they need. She should show them how to not just look for the person’s name, but maybe the subject. Instead, we have to add this lesson on top of the 2 hours a night of fucking homework. I am done with this shit.

I may need to go to the board meeting.

I am way too fired up for 6:50 in the morning. It is not good for anyone to piss me off this morning because I may go off on them. I just emailed another customer service rep on an account of mine and tore into them. I am ready to throw down.

Maybe I just need to lay off the caffeine.

My workout should be interesting if I am still this angry. Perhaps I should go early.
