So THIS is What Our Future Looks Like . . .

Whitney Houston once said (pre-crack): "I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way. . . "

OH, WHITNEY! Whitney, Whitney, Whitney. . .

SHE HAD NO CLUE WHAT TEACHERS/PROFESSORS DEAL WITH ON A DAILY BASIS, OR SHE MIGHT HAVE SAID IT DIFFERENTLY.

Children are our future - YES; But let them lead the way?  I think not! That is actually an erie thought.

My students scare me sometimes with the things that surface out of the SEA OF STUPID (a phrase I am officially borrowing from another SNARKY friend of mine) that is their minds.
They hardly want to learn, and that definitely disqualifies them from being leaders....(shudders at idea)

After a thrilling weekend of grading such underwhelming work and preparing for the week of classes ahead,  I can't help but wonder what our future holds if we produce such shining minds as this:

This child (according to Whitney Houston) should be our leader. . . As an educator, this makes me laugh aaaannd think it might be time to relocate.  What do you think?

Maybe they will do better in time. Sometimes people get better as they mature.
