"The Reason I Work: A Short Essay"
by Me
I like to eat.
The End.
So my near-idyllic summer vacation has wound down to a close and I am forced to once again perform the duties that garner me a paycheck. Once more into a classroom full of shiny, happy faces ripe with promise, only to have that promise castrated by apathy. Not ignorance... apathy. Students today don't care and they want everything given to them on a silver platter. The ideals that made America the world's greatest nation, that hard-work and perseverance can accomplish anything, are dead to the upcoming generations.
And who is to blame? Parents, teachers, media, politicians, peers... even the students themselves. Every one of them shares responsibility, but the only ones being held accountable are the teachers.
Scary, isn't it.

Students haven't cared since the 40's - it's not new. The story is the same... some will snap and make it and some won't. Teachers affect kids in ways they'll never know, for good or bad. All teenagers suck.
just remember to leave the gun at home!
