Ha Ha Ha! Karate huh?

My Dad was a teacher for 30 years in a high school.
He taught Speech (public speaking, drama and music - that's back when teachers had to wear a lot of hats)
Anyway, one of the reasons he got out of teaching is that he felt that he was becoming less of a teacher and more of a babysitter.
The school's policies allowed kids to be moved up to the next grade level even if they couldn't read well or spell.
It was considered a stigma for the child to be "held back" so as a result, many of the kids in high school couldn't read or write well.
It really frustrated my Dad. He was a stickler. Wink
