Our Education System Is Making Students Dumber

    The first time I saw a news article about someone Texting While Driving I honestly thought that our News Media was sensationalizing again.

    I said to myself, "Self, there they go again. They found the only person stupid enough to Text While Driving and put that dummy into their newspaper just so we would spend a nickel to buy a newspaper to Read All About It."

    Since then I have found out there is more than that one dumb person in the country. In fact, our Department of Transportation is calling Texting While Driving a National Epidemic...and it is getting worse...
   
43% of our high school Juniors admit they text while driving

    After another year of being educated in our High Schools...
   
58% of our high school Seniors admit they text while driving

    I'm sure glad someone had the foresight to invent Higher Education. Our Colleges and Universities will fix this problem for sure...Or will they?

    Would I kid u?

This is exactly why young people should have children sooner. Before you call me crazy, consider that with 2-3 kids in the back seat, there is no energy or attention to use for texting. Besides, young parents have to keep one hand free to wipe noses and apply a bit of discipline (both are allowed under most states driving laws). Clearly we need a campaign to encourage teen pregnancy, "Kids are the Kure for Kareless Driving!!"
