Went to the Dollae Tree for a bunch of crap I really didn’t need. Was buying Christmas goodies for neighbors kids. At register was the same worn sign they hand printed in July “DUE TO COIN SHORTAGE PLEASE USE EXACT CHANGE BUT WE PREFER CARDS NOT CHECKS”. My total was $18.90. I gave the worker, snowflake, not sure what gender due to blue/pink hair and nose rings and Sparkly mask $18.90. He/she/it said “ We can’t take cash unless it is correct amount!” This is our future!!!!!

They have just justify their existence not by doing a good job of teaching kids but in coming up with one hairbrained educational disaster of a theory after another and then experimenting with it on the children. They've actually been doing this for a very long time. When I was in public school in the 50s and 60s, they imposed the idiocy of "new math" and phonics on us. Luckily for us, they were still teaching basic reading, history, and so on.
They also expected us to buck up and take it when we got a poor grade instead of protecting us from our own laziness or stupidity. And we were actually "tracked" by our intelligence and skill levels instead of expecting the smart kids to be bored out of their skulls while everything was taught at a level for the least intelligent kids' comfort.
After us, came the deluge of educational jackassery.
I had one class in high school that wasn't tracked so was taught lowest level. I was bored out of my skull. However, they didn't expect drugs to discipline kids, they expected teachers to back then. So we didn't do rowdy.
