Inmates Running the Asylum

Greene County GA has the right idea. Separate classes for boys and girls.

So of course, the morons whom it would most help, are most against it.

What possible objection can there be, given that every credible study known to man indicates that children do better when segregated by sex?

Oh...why students and teachers...of course!

And at least one parent had this to say.
"I am outraged," said Tammi Freeman, who has two children at the high school. "I am disgusted. It's making our county look like our kids are trouble when they're not."
You can't see the quizzical, curled lip look on my face as I try to understand what the fuck her point is...but it's there, trust me.

I don't live in Greene County, but I gather the reason for this change in policy is the awful performance of students there. Ms. Freeman does not seem to care so much about the fact of the failure of students as the appearance of failure of students.

I'm glad she's not my mother.
