Many kids leave school less able to function in the real world than they could before they came under the influence of educators , which are erroneously still referred to as school teachers. Christ if you want a example of arse-about-face-ism here is one for you. Today on the news I listened to some clever educated cleverer than thou talking about, not stopping crime, but actually rewarding those convicted of antisocial behavior, this  moron thinks it would be a good scheme to cut their sentence to buggeral  by teaching these individuals how to read and write, then the better they score the shorter their sentence. It apparently has not occurred to this clever educated .astard if people that can read and write do not become criminals why not simply make sure they can read and write in  english  before they teach them to talk  maori in  the .ucking schools.
