early in the morning. Girls giggling over the cheesy scenes and boys reenacting the fictitious. It is nice to see them do so but heart-wrecking to see failing scores and undone assignments. The entertainment that the television‚ referred to as the idiot box by one of my colleagues‚ offers have made them stagnant and‚ for a lack of better words‚ irresponsible. Another thing which I want to point out is the character alterations that we can see from our pupils. Some TV shows which portray beauty as

“IDIOT NATION” In this particular story‚ Michael Moore claims that the United States school system is so corrupt meaning that children are not getting the proper education that is needed.
