I have a niece who is on her high school yearbook committee. I guess serving on the yearbook committee also qualifies for a grade. Here is what our educational system is teaching these impressionable young minds: YOUR GRADE IN THIS CLASS DIRECTLY CORRELATES TO THE NUMBER OF ADVERTISEMENTS YOU SELL.
No shit. The teacher is giving grades on the dollar amount of ad space sold. There is something fundamentally wrong with this, and quite frankly, it totally pisses me off. They even had a representative from the yearbook company come out and teach these kids how to use sales pressure tactics and how to wheel and deal. WTF???? Don't you think more should be focused on content and editing than the dollar amount of ad space sold????
