Respect for Education

Do you ever wonder how people are a certain way? I mean, do you find yourself sitting in a meeting or classroom wondering how a person made it this far in life? Alive? I ask this because I find myself trying to figure out how people got so damn stupid. I am not talking retarded, or special ed i mean how come people do not know the basic aspect of life? Everyday, i go to school wondering what simple questions people can not answer. I think we have all fucked up. Long time ago, people felt a since of pride going to college and wanted to do good to show they earned it. Now, I feel people feel its their right to go to college. I do not think so. You have a right to breath and eat. After that, you need to earn what life gives you. This is the problem I see, people do not have the respect for the gift of education. The just assume it is something they should have because their families worked hard in school and made something of themselves. I just feel we need to show kids that they need to be thank full they are born in a time where everyone gets the opportunity to go to college. Less then a century ago these same kids would be working a field or a factory with the life expectancy of 30 years. Schools in this country are not the greatest I know this but that's a different topic. If the youth of this country would realize the scarifies these land has made for them I think they would feel shame. Shame of not appreciating their "rights". If this would happen I know education could change because students would demand it. In the end you would not have to wonder how a person made it these far it life, you would know they earned it.
