So clever, so awesome!
In the temporary absense of Spirit, I vote your post be the OP of the new thread. After all, we are well past the 5000 mark where the forum becomes sluggish.

And here I thought it was all your verbose posts that made this thread sluggish. Please forgive me.

Random observation: American school field trips are infinitely worse than Brazillian tour groups.

Uh, not this week. Havent been looking tho.
Just tired of trying to get a water from a food location when its been swarmed by a school group. I'm amazed at how poorly behaved American honor students are.

We're all eagerly awaiting the TEA estimates from last year BUT it really wont show a giant impact as NewdFant didnt open until Christmouse time.
Honor students now vs honor students 20 years ago are two different things.....

Everyone's an honor student now! Can't hurt their tender little feelings can we? Can you imagine how they would react if faced with failure? It won't be pretty.
Oh failure is coming. It just looks different and is called different things now.

My DW just took his AP American Language today and, out of a class of 550, he thinks there were 200 students there.
Back in the old days, I think we had 3 AP courses total and those were reserved for seniors. Now my freshmen twin DD's are taking AP courses.
P.S. Sorry for the thread drift but it's a slow forum day.

Yeah schools almost beg you to sign up for AP now. They look better with those numbers being up. You also see lots of kids who have no business being in such classes, signing up and being driven to hysteria almost nightly.

I refuse to believe this without hard, statistical proof.

Random observation: POTC is set to reopen after its refurb on July 31. Which happens to be Harry Potter's birthday. Not really a match for whatever US could be planning but an interesting coincidence.

I was just commenting to a magical member that it really is good we older folks have so many young people on the boards to tell us about life and how it should be lived. We'd be lost without them!
I hate to sound old, but these kids today are dumber than we were and far more obnoxious about it.
Now I have to go yell at some kids who are walking through my yard...

Slightly on topic, I was once behind a car loaded up shi-zhu bumper stickers, including a big one on the passenger side of the bumper that read "My shi-zhu is smarter than your honor student." On the opposite side of the bumper was the sole non-dog obsessed sticker, "Proud of my honor student."

Oh, there not "tards" but they have heightened expectations and overdeveloped self worth. However, that isn't new. In the 80's when I was a the General Manager of a printing business, we had hired a recent High School Graduate to work in the press room as a stacker/helper on the printing crew. My policy was to call everyone in on their 6 month anniversary to ask how things were going and what were they trying to achieve. He looked me straight in the eye and said...I want your job!Is it bad that I agree? LOL... yes, a lot of the younger generation are total tards...
I replied that there were days when I would gladly give it to him. I then asked what his time frame for achieving that was and he told me that by this time next year he will be running the place. One year later, he quit the job because he was still in the same job and he wasn't going to work for a place that didn't recognize how lucky they were to have him there. Don't know what happened to him, but I'm sure he is running his own country by now. That was thirty years ago...and the trend continues. If you don't own a BMW by the time you are 22 you have failed epically. P.S. I had nothing to do with holding him back, I never told his supervisors what had transpired in the meeting and I never stood in the way of a Supervisors decision to change or upgrade an employee. I really wasn't in fear of losing my job to him.
