PHENOMENAL TEACHER.....LESSON LEARNED!
This man is truly a genius!
An economics professor at a local college made a statement
that he had never failed a single student before,but had once failed an
entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's 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 Obama's plan".
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the
same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A...
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 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as
bickering, blame and name-calling resulted in hard feelings and no one
would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told
them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is
great, the effort to succeed is great - but when government takes all the
reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
It could not be any simpler than that.
Remember, there is a test coming up. The mid-term election
in 2010!
