Facts alone are not enough, because no-one makes these decisions based on
just fact.

Sometimes i
think that those then stupid enough to still smoke or drink themselves
into an early grave just shows darwins theory of natural selection and
survival of the fittest perfectly; those with enugh brains to avoid
drugs etc will survive to produce offspring and their genetic material
will be passed on whilst those who were dumb enough not to avoid drugs
(hopefully) will have died early before (again hopefully) passing on
their genes to their offspring. natural selection may not always
involve physical attributues but intellectual and cognitive skills
too. just an idea.

'OMG OMG OMG!'

1) Smoking, drinking and other drug use generally don't kill someone before
they've had a chance to pass on their genes.  (All those things are stupid,
but are not necessarily carried out by totally stupid people.  Addiction is
a very common human difficulty - some are more prone to it than others - and
some are more able to overcome it than others.)

2) And then perfectly sensible people may be killed by the stupidity, or
stupid habits of others.

Your idea doesn't hold up to any scrutiny.

Humans are more complex than your theory allows for.  Just because you do
say some pretty stupid things, I wouldn't assume you are not sensible enough
to have been in the trusted and privileged position of teacher.  Am I making
my point?

Jane

calm down calm down!!!
some people do take what i say here a little bit too seriously
sometimes dont; they?
i was going to add at the time that the general sub class of
individuals who do partake of large quantities of drugs and alcohol
may also be likely to indulge in a fair bit of unprotected sex, either
because of the socio-economic group they live in or because they are
so out of it most of the time that the coordination and thought
processes required to put on a condom are just beyond them, therefore
actuallly these are the most likely people to produce offspring (and
usually in large quantites too) well before they have expired from
lung cancer or liver disease or whatever, but i decided not to add
that. so yes my idea, considering the propensity of certain sub
classes of society to engage in drug abuse and sexual activity leading
to the production of viable offspring, is not entirely able to hold
water if examined closely.

anyway that is a pretty low and unnecessary comment to make; "I
wouldn't assume you are not sensible enough have been in the trusted
and priviledged position of teacher" well thanks for that! why on
earth would you question whether or not i am sensible enough to be a
teacher? have you seen me teach? whatever i may post on here has no
bearing on my skills as an educator or my level of professionalism in
the classroom, why would it? to my mind only those who really are in a
position to have watched me teach or been onthe receiving end of my
teaching are really in a position to comment on my ability to teach or
whether i am 'sensible' enough for the job, and I don't think that
includes anyone on this forum unless I am very much mistaken.
And next time i am facing a pupil who is threatening to kick my head
in or cut me up or is busy throwing a chair at me i shall remind
myself what a 'priviledged' position i am in.
