The burg in which I live has been suffering from a tragic
infestion over the past decade: Yuppies infected with a STRONG sense of entitlement. The Yuppies are breeding, too.
Most recently the swine have been complaining to the School Dept about the horrid requirement that students who compete in Varsity Sports MUST maintain a record with NO
more than 2 D-Grades or worse in a semester; if you don't keep the grades up, you go off the team. It has ALWAYS been that way.
Well these loathesome swine are bitching that doing that allows 'another group' to have access to their little darlin's grades: namely the coaches and athletic administrators. Yup, that's right...THEY are the one's who need to know if the kids are eligible adademically, too. It could cost a Division or State Title if they use a kid who is academically ineligible.
Now, I know not all rich people are smart, but where does it end? It appears these monied fools are concerned about their young 'uns SELF ESTEEM.
Good grief.
HELLO? It has always been thus: gotta keep the grades up to play.
I strongly feel that this rule, if anything, has to be respected. It is obvious that America will have some serious issues with SOME of the population in about 15-20 years when reality strikes and the Trust Fund monies run out and WORK rears its' ugly head. (I am being VERY polite here, believe me.)
What are the scenarios in the locales where other LETSRUN posters live, and do you suffer from similar Yuppie infestations, infections, curses on the land, etc?
