You're me...or perhaps the other I.T teacher...or my wife, the English teacher...or the Science teacher who was bashed in the hallway last week or...hang on a minute! I know Dwayne too! And those other 29 kids who get ripped off through a wasted lesson. I even know the SMT and the useless fools that back them… I know them all! But most of all, I know the pub where like-minded education professionals gather to forget. <BR/><BR/>And what will become of all the Dwayne’s? They grow up and won’t listen then either…and when the nurse says, “take care of these kids” they ignore the advice, and later make the news, having beaten the infants to death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28919367.post-1153617702536061342006-07-23T01:21:00.000+00:002006-07-23T01:21:00.000+00:00"what the hell is going to happen to these kids af..."what the hell is going to happen to these kids after they leave us?
