Yeah it’s crazy. Don’t have kids yet but my sibling, cousins, and friends who do put the extra effort in because it’s so bad at schools nowadays. Apparently the school curriculum is so bad now they aren’t even teaching kids cursive but teach them text abbreviations like lolToo many reasons to list but a big part of it is the failure of the educational system to develop childen into productive members of society largely due to self-sabotage. "No Child Left Behind" ect. All things coded as attempts to improve education.
Thus you have Ivy League professors complaining their students are complaining about being assigned entire books to read. No one has ever required them to do that and many never have.
It's parenting problem too, to be sure. Parents today want to shift the responsibility for raising their kids to the educational system. They just want to scroll on their phones in all their spare time so they put their kids in front of screens too. I grew up reading books. I hope you did too. I hope you raised your kids to read. But most parents today expect the school to teach their kids the alphabet! They are so far behind when they show up to kindergarten. Kindergarten teachers are making public requests of parents not to expect them to potty-train their children. That's not a part of their job. They can't change diapers in a classroom and should not have to.
I checked the Gators 247 board this morning to see what is going on in that drama and they are still talking about Gator Raid, the fake insider, posting a fake betting slip last night after nearly getting to the finish line convincing Gator fans Kiffin is coming. Here's the mood:
"I thought I met the love of my life in an aol chat room when I was 13. She was a dude."
I’ve heard O’meara tell that story@peaygolf @Tennessee Golfer

It just came out that Florida interviewed Clark Lea before he resigned with Vanderbilt.
I thought there would still be cold realization this morning after this Gator Raid dude faked a $10k betting slip last night, but somehow it doesn't seem to have affected much. Most are still onboard thinking it's going to be Lane.
