Entire class fails


https://chestercountyindependent.com/2020/08/13/entire-class-fails/


By Dennis Richardson, Magic Valley Publishing

EDITOR’S NOTE: I found this in my news feed on one of the social media sites and thought how practical a lesson this would be. Even I would have learned from it as dense as I am].

TEACHER FAILS ENTIRE CLASS: An economics professor at a local college made a statement that she had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on this plan.” All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A…. (substituting grades for dollars – something closer to home and more readily understood by all).


After the first test, the grades were averaged, and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset, and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less, and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.


The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the third test rolled around, the average was an F.


You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

  • What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
  • The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
  • You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
  • When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

That should be posted everywhere.

Edit:  has it been banned from facebook or twitter as "misinformation" yet?

Our family restarted monthly dinners.  Last night Nine of the family met at Eddie Lee's.

And one of the topics of conversation was a family member changed his fb name because
his posts had been banned.

Twenty three cousins and I are fully conservative and at the start years back we were
fully dem. Amazing what a full appreciation of dems can do do a close nit group like ours.

Next month dinner was set.

@Slide Rule

Seems your family are becoming the breed of Americans we need to multiply.

Hope all of you have a dozen kids

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
