If ever I take to drink, it will be because of my stupid attempts to try to teach dumb children.
I'm wondering whether the children born after me, and that will be 1977, have somehow lost the ability to THINK, or whether I was THAT dumb when I was young, and now I am suffering retribution for having driven my teachers up the wall with my stupidity.
But seriously, I cannot imagine myself not even having the ability to synthesize information according to the question posed, nor the common sense to do my Maths problems in handwriting big and clear enough for me to differentiate between an "a" and a "9"! (They do look pretty similar don't they? YES, ESPECIALLY IF I CHOOSE TO SQUEEZE EVERYTHING I WRITE INTO THE SMALLEST AVAILABLE SPACE FOR FEAR OF WASTING PAPER!)
And tell me, how can a student who's set to do his GCSE O Levels this year, not even able to do SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS for freaks' sake! I repeat, SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS! How did he ever even get to this stage, when he doesn't know how to do BASIC ALGEBRA!
And BRACKETS! Brackets freaking mean something in Maths! They're not FOR FUN!
And who says the best way to write a composition is to MEMORISE MODEL ESSAYS AND SPEW THE WORDS OUT ON A PIECE OF PAPER DURING THE EXAM, JUST BECAUSE THE TOPIC LOOKS SIMILAR, BUT MAY REQUIRE YOU TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE ESSAY YOU MEMORISED?!
I'm not even half done ranting. But I'm thirsty. I'll have another crate of beer if you please.

What? You mean brackets serve a purpouse? I thought that's what parentheses were there for? To excuse the brackets? Whatever shall we use to play tennis with now?
