Yes this is what happens when we let liberal morons run riot with their free thinking ways of doing things ....it's the teachers fault ! nothing to do with parents, culture and kids apathy to learn, blame everything on those who actually spent their life learning something, so they can pass it on, while their precious little kids are angels ....just not motivated to learn by these "rubbish" teachers...teachers in the west are fighting a losing battle with government interference and ridiculous ideas and a culture which tells kids that to be a school nerd is uncool while being pop stars and sport personalities are the "cool" way to fortune...only to find when they leave school with no qualifications, that pop stars and sports jobs are quite thin on the ground...yes blame the teachers for your lack of education....it's no wonder the US is being overtaken by Asian countries academically....the government and parents there actually support their academic institutions...not allow mollycoddling of their kids and then expect the teachers to act as surrogate parents....and you pretty much a product of your education system because you sound very much like a dumb ass.
Are you experiencing teacher burnout? Seems like it. I have seen this behavior before where an instructor views every student as a potential litigant against them.

Western societies are very litigious, true, but social pressures that interfere with education is old hat stuff. For many decades it was uncool for blacks to aspire to a good education. Peer pressure would shove every young black person into pursuing either Rap or basketball stardom. There are derogatory terms like "geek" or "egghead" that have been in Western lexicon for nearly a century.

What you are encountering is nothing new. But there will always be those gem students that will inspire the most sleepy of instructors to wake up and take note.

They don't care about the people in Africa. This act isn't about any sort of altuistic nature finally worming it's way to the top of the pile but about China wanting another ally against America. Whatever they send it'll be miniscule compared to the amount of food aid that the U.S. has supplied to African nations over the past 80 years. China's aid will come with a price tag attached.

As long as the people get food, that's the main thing at the moment. Whatever it takes. But as far as influence, the amount of US aid is overwhelmingly larger, so it's hard to see a little bit of China aid being a huge effect.

As long as the people keep getting food, while the big dogs argue, at least the people won't starve as badly.

And if the food ends up in the hands of the wrong people, yet again?

That's always a concern. A lot of charity food ends up feeding the oppressor's troops. North Korea! Sudan!

But if that food, be it Chinese, Western or otherwise, can get into the right hands, a starving child doesn't assign it partisanship.

I might hate the Monsanto Corporation but if their corporate guidance includes philanthropy that saves lives and/or ameliorates human suffering, I will stand back, bury my hatchet and let goodness flow.

China's food efforts are purely political and economic but the feeding of an empty stomach is a good thing in it's own right.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Scorpio

You're in the mood to spend money on a favourite hobby or pastime today, so take care if you're supposed to making every penny count at the moment. The temptation to treat yourself to something that you'll undoubtedly enjoy will be too strong to resist, and the trouble is that you might not restrict yourself to just one item either. It looks like being an extravagant day!
