They just did not care because the school did not care about them. My elementary school did nothing but hold down our smartest kids. I was one of the best readers in the entire school. I learned to read when I was 2 years old. The teachers always stuck me with the horrible readers, they did not know I was good, and I never got a chance show my talents.
Nobody has any politeness anymore.
I dealt with the rudest, most vile people ever. I was treated worse than the family dog. I ve had cigarette smoke blown in my face and been yelled at when my idiot manager screwed up someone else s order. We ve had those laws for thousands of years and people try to find rational reasons to bend and break them. The only religious laws people even take seriously are the food and sex laws.
