Erasure: the new waterboarding?

Erasure: the new waterboarding?

Much of the issue with modern education is the inability of the administration to scare its students.  Once a child decides that education doesn’t matter, there’s not a whole lot that you can legally do to him to scare him back onto the right track.  In-School Suspension?  Fine, gets him out of the classes he doesn’t care about anyway.  Out-of-School Suspension?  Great, now he doesn’t have to go to the school at all.  Expulsion?  Even better.  He was going to drop out anyway.

But really what are the options left open for the schools?  You can’t beat students anymore and like I said earlier, most administrative options only benefit the miscreant.  And now water-boarding has been taken off the table.

So here’s what I propose:  Only In-School Suspensions.

But Daniel, you just said that those don’t work.  Good catch, reader, but there’s a twist.

While the students are in In-School Suspension, they are forced to listen to Erasure’s “A Little Respect” on infinite repeat!  That’s right 1988’s synth laden pop classic is the key to a new dawn in public school behavior modification.

It worked for the US Military in Panama to get rid of Manuel Noriega, it’ll work on the youth of today.  Cause, you know, kids are our future!

(If you’re not familiar with the song search for it on iTunes and download it now and thank me later.)
