Dear English teachers,

I just got this from the head of our Dept. at Levinsky.
With all the correspondences about what to do with our 'lot" (not lots), 
here is another issue we should take heed of.

This truth of much of this is what makes it so humorous. It is about 
education in general, but it fits our situation here so.

Shana tova, happy holidays and have a great, successful year.

This should be posted in all schools and work places.

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill 
Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not 
and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically 
correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality 
and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect 
you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't 
be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss..

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had 
a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about 
your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are 
now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and 
listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you 
save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try 
delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS 
NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give 
you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the 
slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and 
very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on 
your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to 
leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
