Irony (Score 1)

This country's education system is in a sad state. It seems nothing ever gets done anymore unless something is in it for those involved. I find it a bit ironic actually that school after school is getting budget cuts so hindering that even teachers are getting thrown out right along side after-school programs and unneccesary office stationary, and in some cases the entire schools are being shut down, but money is being found to pay the students for doing what they're supposed to be doing anyway. I wonder if maybe the teachers as well are lacking the motivation to even teach anymore. Having to face all these students who are expecting a reward every time they do anything. I would find it hilarious if students and teachers started to compare how much they we're being paid to be there. Are these the values we really want to instill in our youth? Do we really want vision and drive to be blinded by a dollar bill? I foresee capitalism crumbling under the very ideals that created it in the first place.
