Education!!!!!!!!!!!

In many schools the standard of education is appalling, and it is becoming more and more shitty by the day :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: . So what are your thoughts on this.

My thoughts are that you should educate yourself to utilize appropriate numbers of exclamation points and emoticons.

That is to say, do not use more than one exclamation point! That is one of the most annoying mistakes I have ever seen, right up there with multiple question marks. It does not emphasize your point. It just makes you look childish.

I think bad education is bad. And good education is good.

Not to be a spelling Nazi, but in a post about how appalling education is, you should probably spell appalling correctly. :p

Clearly it's failing to teach that use of multiple explanation points is a clear sign of madness. Two is bad enough, three is real cause for worry but 11 *shakes head* there's no hope.

I find that some young people who complain about education are really complaining about having to do any serious work. Like showing up to class.

The more emoticons you use, the stronger the effect. It's an exponential thing. For example:

:palm: :palm: :palm: :palm: :palm: :palm: :palm: :palm: :palm: :palm:

10 facepalms multiplied thus is greater in effect than the sum total of 10 individual facepalms.
