Chapter 79
Principal Wood and Vice-principle Snyder went over details for the homecoming dance this Saturday night. It was being held at the Bronze. That eccentric owner Lorne had agreed to let them use it. Snyder still had his doubts but Wood wasn't as nervous.
Wood: They're just kids, they deserve a little fun.
Snyder: Fun is why 8 seniors got pregnant all at once.
Wood: Tenns make mistakes, but Lorne assured me there will be no alcohol or drugs on our watch.
Snyder: That's a relief. Too bad we can't stop them from doing that crap off school grounds. But what do we expect from dull-witted savages who are proud of their stupidity. To say nothing of the teachers expected to be a combination nanny and prison guard. To say nothing of the fact that they're overworked, under-appreciated, and afraid of getting their tires slashed.
Wood: Your attitude towards student, is why some parents home-school their kids.
Snyder: If I had children I would definitely home-school them. The worst part of school was having to be around those who made me embarrassed by my intelligence, who made learning a 13 year sentance. That's why the best and the brightest, both students and teachers, burn out so quickly. Sometimes I wonder why we go throught the pretext of trying to teach everyone.
Wood: So we should just say "We're incarcerating children until they're semi-fit to function and not cause to much trouble on the outside?"
Snyder: That would be difficult to get them to pay tax dollars for. But trying to teach some of these delinquints is like trying to teach a pig to sing. You won't get what you want, you'll just annoy the pig.
