- 0:01So I, you know, read about this about 10 minutes ago and I
- 0:06actually find it not only funny, but truly pathetic.
- 0:13So a public school system in Detroit is apparently offering
- 0:21cash prizes as a way to get their students to show up.
- 0:38Here's how I know society has been really been relegated to
- 0:44this point. If you're a school system that
- 0:50essentially has to, let's just call it what it is, they had to
- 0:54essentially bribe their students just to show up.
- 1:07It only shows in highlights 2 things.
- 1:11Number one, just consider for a moment where education is today.
- 1:21You know, as opposed to when I was in school or which actually
- 1:26wasn't that long ago to be on this spot.
- 1:31And for a certain generation, you know, a lot longer that, you
- 1:39know, we essentially had to put up with, you know, going to
- 1:42school and that was it. And the second thing and the
- 1:46most obvious, consider for a moment, like I said, the city
- 1:55that this happening in Detroit. Now I'm willing to bet that it
- 2:05won't be wrong before those other blue cities and all
- 2:10states, especially in certain areas are going to follow suit
- 2:18towards Detroit. And I also mentioned that this
- 2:25is embarrassing at the same time because it really is.
- 2:33If you have to assure to giving students cast stipulations just
- 2:38for the purposes of showing up, you ultimately at school system,
- 2:48I can't even say you're doing something wrong, but you have to
- 2:55say true proven you don't really care about students education.
- 3:06Now I wanna be clear on this, OK 'cause I only don't believe it's
- 3:10just a one side thing. Yes, students have to show that
- 3:18they care, and certainly the parents have to push this, you
- 3:25know, children a little bit more just to get them to go to
- 3:35school. But the idea that this is, you
- 3:42know, something that should be endorsed is ridiculous because
- 3:49not only are you essentially showing by doing this kind of
- 3:54method that you're desperate for students just to, you know,
- 3:58COVID school and whatnot, By doing this, you are ultimately
- 4:04evaluating the importance of why education actually matters more
- 4:12than the people will. But again, I can't even look at
- 4:18this. It's like a means to an end
- 4:23because again, had, you know, educational systems focus more
- 4:30on trying to actually teach their students real stuff as
- 4:36opposed to this nonsensical propaganda that they are
- 4:40pushing, this wouldn't even be an issue.
- 4:45But nonetheless, this is where we are.
- 4:51So again, can't really sit here and be surprised where education
- 4:57is nowadays cause again, the school systems have done to
- 5:02themselves. Yes the students have to take on
- 5:06the shape and certainly your parents, but by and large the
- 5:10educational system time and time again because of the all the
- 5:15nonsensical propaganda and chronicle ideologies that
- 5:20they're all shame they've done it to themselves.
- 5:27I was the long one.
