the indoctrination of boys

I had a man say to me that teachers have the easiest job in the world "what-you teach kids to add 2+2?". I was enraged-yes there are teachers that suck, there are teachers who do not do their job, there are horrible, mean, and disrespectful teachers who don't deserve to teach and actually do not teach but It's more of a complicated system than people think. What I said was "I am sorry you got pushed through school and let down by your teachers and that was a sad experience for you. You are one of the kids who has been let down by the education system." He didn't know what to think. I understand the disheartening attitude toward the education system by young men who got totally let down. They were hyper, inquisitive, and can't be controlled so basically the system indoctrinated them to the point where they were bound for jail or a life of crime.
If more teachers, administrators, and school districts (on a small level) would realize the impact of shunning the hyper kid. If they could see how that effects the child far beyond grade school then more people would stop and take a look at young men in society and what we teach them and how we act. Actually we will just stick with the example of poor boys and men because we indoctrinate children from different economic classes differently.

points on President Obama-Facebook rant

He finally pulled troops out of a pointless war....he has remained mentally in tact after a straight up bloody assault to his intelligence and policy by republicans...I would have flipped long ago...wait he bailed out the corporations and banks that ran our financial system in the ground after Bush and his posse deregulated the system enough so him and Dick Cheney and their cronies could get bloody rich! oh that blood word keeps creeping in...President Obama has improved our image with the rest of the world  because he approaches them with an air of respect and negotiation....and yes i will blame parts of his presidency on Bush because he inherited an economy in disarray, a financial and political machine that favors profit over the American people!! Before he became president  he was not in government that long in case we don't remember..yet he is trying to change decades of mistakes (aside from Clinton, in my time) in 8 years! How can the fundamental problems of our America be fixed in 8 years? He knew he only had 8 years, he knows that he only has so long and who he apppoints to the Supreme Court and the policy he leaves behind are only temporary because those who want to keep this country in the past are doing their damndest to keep us there. When he leaves office I fear that we will be brought out of the diverse beautiful nation we are becoming after years of scars made by the previous administration. The conversations happening are great and beautiful yet making us all volatile creatures because we had no idea what the social/political/ machine was suppressing in us.
