NYC High School Churns Out Left-Wing Comment Trolls

February 23, 2014 by V the K

The New York Post published a story on a NYC High School program called ‘Blended Learning’ which allowed students to take courses on-line for credit – nothing inherently wrong with that – exccept this ‘Blended Learning’ program was a joke. The coursework was ridiculously easy, there were no controls to prevent cheating, and students demonstrated no mastery of the material after completing the online course.  Students began blowing off normal classroom work because ‘blended learning’ was so much easier and credits counted the same.

So, after the Post did its expose, students were encouraged by the school’s administrators to write letters defending the program. The results were, to summarize in one word, FAIL.

“What do you get of giving false accusations im one of the students that has blended learning I had a course of English and I passed and and it helped a lot you’re a reported your support to get truth information other than starting rumors . . .”

Blended learing is actaully helping us all who need the credit to graduate on time cause we dont want to be left behind. we need to move on with our lives.

“Us as New York City Students deserve respect and encouragement. We are the future of New York City and for some students, The future of the country.”

All of these students are now eminently qualified to leave comments at Breitbart.com stating how stupid they think Sarah Palin is.

    “Us . . . are the future of New York City and for some students, The future of the country.” Have more frightening words ever been written?

    But guys, every person in society having an equal say in its management is a good thing, right? Restricting voting rights is wrong!

    Sarcasm off.

    Behold, your future healthcare providers and policy makers. You just know their spelling is not up to snuff and had to have been proofread – especially since many of them are over age and still in a highschool with a 51% dropout rate. Administrators or spellcheck, or administrators using spellcheck.

    This, unfortunately, is typical of the writing style of students today. And if you attempt to correct them, by pointing out the lack of capitalization and punctuation alone, they act indignant, and say that you aren’t their teacher.

    No, kid, I’m your future employer. Or else, I was, until I read this atrocious piece of crap.

    A teacher of English friend in North Jersey received a negative letter in his file because he told his AP English class that they were required to have a notebook and to bing it to class. A parent complained that he was putting undue stress her daughter by the requirement. So there you are.

    Clearly it is time for school vouchers and break the back of teachers unions all across this country.

    I would call him Mayor deBolshevik, but I have been advised that it is uncivil to remind people that he is, in fact, a lifelong Communist.

    The trolls make the obvious point that taxpayer money in New York is not spent well at all. How many more years before New York becomes another Detroit?

    Don’t blame the teachers wholesale here (the administration is another story) but these “students” are the product of their upbringing.

    Teachers are tasked not only with leading the horse to water but making him drink as well. When students and parents object to “stress” (as in comment #7), it’s a good bet than even the most dedicated teacher will throw in the towel at some point – hoping to survive until retirement.

    Back when parentS gave a crap, most kids arrived in first grade with a grasp of the alphabet and rudimentary reading skills. And, chances are, they ate breakfast and dinner AT HOME.

    I give many of today’s parents a big, fat F.

    I am sure the teacher’s union approves.

    And in defense of at least some of today’s youth they aren’t all this ignorant-I have two college age daughter’s who would be embarrassed at how poorly written these letters are. Shoot my oldest daughter is a self declared badge carrying member of the grammar police.

    So there is some hope for our future but maybe not much for the contributions of the New York City school’s graduates.

    I get people replying at work all the time “your welcome.” I usually say “My welcome what?” Sad thing is… most of them don’t get it.

    Also:
    “Can I ask you a question?”
    “I believe you are capable, yes.”
