Abraham Lincoln loved to learn.

He wrote on a wooden shovel with charcoal. So all kids need in school are the basics. Expensive computers and fancy playground equipment won't make failing kids learn. They're either not interested or too low IQ to be there. Stop wasting tax money and face the truth.

@Convivial Mr Gradgrind had two children, Tom and Louisa, whose unhappiness clearly demonstrated that boys and girls need more than just Facts.

@SunshineGirl I'm reminded of something I read years ago.... Knowledge is knowing that tomatoes are a fruit... Wisdom is knowing not to put tomatoes in a fruit salad....

@Convivial That is very wise! 🍅

Absolutely. Take away their exercise books and pencils as well! All you need to learn is wood and a lump of charcoal. If they can't thrive under such conditions, they clearly do not deserve education! 🤣

@SinlessOnslaught Survival of the fittest . . and probably would have happened if my PE teacher had become head 😬

@SunshineGirl Books is really all they need. They can get a couple pencils and a note book. The rest of that stuff is wishful thinking. Kids that aren't interested won't learn. Kids with 85 IQs can't.
