I'll take the "mail order medicines = huge industry" with a pinch of salt. From what I know, it's much easier to get medicines over the counter, prescribed or not.
There is also the possibility that the teacher actually sucks.
Have you considered that?
Also, note that:
(1) There was no video of teacher humiliation uploaded to the internet.
(2) I doubt a Facebook page created by high school students constitutes a serious injury to reputation.
The rest of your comment was a "get off my lawn" rant, and therefore cannot be reasonably refuted.
Or maybe you can try to understand that everywhere's not America.
If Syracuse is anything like India, (and a lot of places are like India when it comes to this) schools there have a long-established history and tradition of authoritarianism... to the point that people will be surprised if they're not authoritarian.
So why complain about ONE particular instance? Probably not an isolated incident.
You remember the details? Really?
Haven't you read 'The Invisible Gorilla' yet, Mike?
These "flashbulb memories", though vivid, are generally inaccurate.
Re:
The reality is that a man who gave his life to a cause was attacked unfairly and therefore decided to completely demolish the cause itself.
Playing the victim's always easier, I guess.
Re: Yes, it's absurd. Learning to walk takes longer than ten weeks
Yeah, let's pick at straws! Hell, why not? MAYBE the guy hasn't studied child development, which means everything he says HAS to be crud, right?
Or maybe he has, and he's trying to make a point here.
"If you want to learn trig or calculus, it's set at such a pace in schools that it guarantees that only the absolutely best students will learn it."
Maybe the "absolutely best children" (whatever that means) can learn walking in 10 weeks?

Honestly, someone post this on slashdot.

Website currently shows 80k hits.... 800k would probably be enough to bring it down.

I bet you he's gonna say that companies should stop using patented tech and "actually innovate".

I live in India, and that sounds extremely likely to me. (no sarcasm)

Despite what you may think, we have better business than keeping track of everything you say on every thread.

Yeah, that's what consumerism is about.

Online privacy controls do exist, you know.
Re: You were kidding, right?
I completely mistook the location and the cultural connotations, so it doesn't matter either way now.
If you must know, though, I was trying to say that complaining about one incident is useless unless you complain about the underlying public morality.

Geographical confusion; I assumed it was the Syracuse in Italy.

My bad... what else can I say?
Maybe you can tell the Syracuseans that.

All my mind csn muster concerning this comment is "So why the hell did he (she?) bother commenting if he had nothing to say?"
Re: grins evilly
Er.... India still lives, the law is still a long way from being passed.
