12 Things Kids Do Not
Learn in School and How it will Set Them Up For Failure
The feel-good,
politically correct teaching of today has created a full
generation of kids with no concept of reality. This
concept will set them up for failure in the real world.
RULE 1
- Life is not fair - get used to it.
RULE 2
- The world won't
care about your self-esteem. The world will expect
you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good
about yourself.
RULE 3 - You
will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out
of high school. You won't be a vice president with a
car phone, until you earn both.
RULE 4 -
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you
get a boss. He/She doesn't have tenure.
RULE 5
- Flipping burgers is not beneath your
dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for
burger flipping - they called it opportunity.
RULE 6
- If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so
don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
RULE 7 -
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring
as they are now. They got that way from paying your
bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you
talk about how cool you are. So before you save the
rain forest from the parasites of your parent's
generation, try delousing the closet in your own
room.
RULE 8
- Your school may have done
away with winners and losers, but life has not. In
some schools they have abolished failing grades and
they'll give you as many times as you want to get
the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest
resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
RULE 9 -
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get
summers off and very few employers are interested in
helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
RULE 10 -
Television is NOT real life.
In real life people actually have to leave the
coffee shop and go to jobs.
RULE 11 - Be
nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for
one.
RULE 12
- Learn to say "thank you" and
listen to other opinions.
