A mind is a terrible thing to taste . Even worse, to waste one.

Education is the single most important part of saving We the People from ourselves and defeating the barbarians at the gate. Our society, for whatever reasons, places next to no social value on education. Not only structured school learning but practical life skills and personal independent study. Add in school systems run at the peak of inefficiency and incompetence. Money is thrown at it endlessly and the situation gets worse. Teachers should be paid like valued essential parts of creating a better world. Not highly educated babysitters.

Imagine a school system with corporate sponsors that gave prizes based on student improvement. Not only to teachers but parents of the most improved kids and the school itself.

Hello and Welcome to Maryland Education Round Up. I’m your host Lucifer Jenkins and with me as always, with the color commentary, my little brother.

Leeeeeeerrrroooooooyyyyyy Jenkins

Let’s jump right in with our most improved of the week.

Miss Penobscott’s 4th grade class at Highlandtown Elementary School in Baltimore, Md has achieved the highest grade improvement in Baltimore City. She will receive a gift card courtesy of our sponsor Office Depot in the amount of $2000 for extra supplies, a stock portfolio from TD Ameritrade valuing $5000, a week vacation for two at the Exhausted Oaks Total Relaxation Spa and Resort and most importantly a spot in the finals for Maryland Teacher of The Year

For the top two students in her class, they each get a deposit into their Higher Education and Development (HEAD) account in the amount of $5000 to go towards post secondary education. A week at the educational summer camp of their choice, four free passes to Six Flags in Largo MD and a personalized certificate, suitable for framing.

Their parents, for supporting their child’s education with get a reduction in their income taxes for a whole year, a voucher for six months of free food for kids lunches and bragging rights in the neighborhood.

Oh, sorry. I fell asleep. I had this strange dream. Something about a well funded school system or something.
