Ok..... I don't normally make a serious post on here, and a lot of times i just type whatever comes into my alcohol deprived mind, but Jesus Christ.....why can't parents do their fucking job. I am currently working as a band director in south Texas, in a 4A school about an hour west of Corpus. As the new guy there, I work the 4th band out of 4 in the middle school....basically, the kids who can't pass classes (most of them), or just do not have a natural inclination towards music (there is nothing wrong with that...just how some people are).
Now the issue i have with the whole not passing classes thing, is that apparently it is "cool" to be a jackass and fail at life (just like their worthless parents). Here is an example of the fail that some of these kids have achieved (should seriously be a goddamn achievement on xbox live). Things like failing EVERY CLASS....INCLUDING BAND....HOW THE FUCK!...that's like failing PE...you show up, you bring your stuff, at least attempt to do SOMETHING, and you will pass.....(and the grading system we are forced to use is so fucking broken a Neanderthal could get an A bashing a rock on his own head).

Now to where I am going with this.....WHAT THE FUCK ARE THE PARENTS DOING ASIDE FROM FUCKING....

not a DAMN thing....


so, If I had ever failed a single class as a kid in school, i would not see the light of day for a month, on top of getting my ass beaten, and after that I ended up going to college and getting a degree and by all accounts am successful.

why the fuck cant these people give their children some GODDAMN STRUCTURE, RESTRICTIONS, AND ORDER.


/end rant


p.s. Those of you who have/are going to have children, just know that nothing here is aimed at you guys (as sometimes the meanings on the boards gets misconstrued , y'all are great (though I barely know you)
