                You forgot:

                1957, children taught to read.

                2013: 80% of NYC high school graduates unable to read.

                    Funny thing about that.... He was trying to eat the pop tart into the shape of a mountain and ended up looking like the state of Idaho.

                    It was a teacher who freaked out.

                        Yep seems pretty on cue, sucks but that's how it is . Wish life would go back to the way it was back in the 50's .

                        Kids don't get to experience a lot of things these days because everyone's a winner now a days.

                        Im a firm believer of a swift kick in the ass solves a bunch of issues
