How come we don't have those?
 


It is unfortunate that many students feel like their time is being wasted in secondary classes. It is important for school systems to constantly evaluate and update their curriculum to ensure that students are engaged and learning valuable skills. Busy work and irrelevant assignments can definitely be a waste of time and can take away from the classes that students are truly interested in.

Moreover, it is concerning that schools may be hiring teachers who are not qualified to teach certain subjects. Teachers play a crucial role in shaping students' education and it is essential that they are knowledgeable and passionate about the subjects they teach. Schools should prioritize hiring qualified and experienced teachers to provide the best education for their students.

In addition, it is important for students to speak up and voice their concerns about these issues. Students should communicate with their teachers and school administrators about their frustrations and suggest ways to improve the curriculum and teaching methods. It is also important for parents to be involved and advocate for their children's education.

Overall, it is crucial for schools to prioritize the quality of education and ensure that students' time is not being wasted in secondary classes. By constantly evaluating and updating the curriculum and hiring qualified teachers, schools can provide a more meaningful and valuable education for their students.

Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
