You sure are a surfer, you could probably surf on that giant wave of BS that you are spouting out. Anyone who thinks they can do better at teaching high school should try. Really, get your ed certification and get a job. THEN, my smelly friend, you will see that there is very little that you can do. In the mere ninety minutes that we have them, we can not remove the years of negelect and cultural norms and values which include none of the things you mentioned. By the way, the state has mandated a serior project that is suppose to teach those critical values. Then end result will be a higher dropout rate. Please know what you are talking about before you type, otherwise you'll look like an idiot.
