Why Shakir Can’t Read
By Helen Cadogan
*** begin quote ***
All across America, schools are confronted with Shakirs who either do not show up for school or who attend school but hang out in the hallways, bathrooms, and other hideaways. Even in well disciplined schools, there are Shakirs who go to class and put their heads on the desk. They refuse to work; the same way, their parents refuse to attend parent-teacher meetings. They sleep, they disrupt, curse, fight, and do no work. Many of those who do work, do it indifferently; they go through the motions expecting to achieve high marks for minimal effort. Moreover, even when these Shakirs have done no work at all, they expect to graduate.

But, I am robbed to pay for this nonsense?
Welfare is the root of this evil. And, the Gooferment loves welfare. It empowers Gooferment on so many levels: willing voters who vote for more dole; more dole requires more state workers; and of course there are contracts to give out as political plums.
Argh!
