Go to the top of the class. In killing people and shit.
From today's Age:
'LONDON. A teaching union official has proposed that the word 'fail' as a verdict on children's exams and other school work should be abolished and replaced with the term 'deferred success'.
Liz Beattie, a retired teacher and the Suffolk secretary and field officer of the Professional Association of teachers, believes that some children find 'failure very hard to cope with'
and that it can lead to them becoming depressed. 'I'd rather tell kids that they have done jolly well
, they worked really well and have achieved that and that's brilliant,' 
said Mrs Beattie, who will take her proposal to the union's conference next week.
The 68-year-old, who taught for 37 years, added: 'Some people find failure very hard to cope with
and you should try not to face them with things they can't do.'
811 days til the next election.

stunning. fucking stunning.
bless your beautiful soul.

I have a lump in my throat.
Or perhaps it is saganaki revisited.
The terms failure and success are so subjective. They are defined by the dominant socio-economic status quo. What one person views as failure or success another person may view totally differently.
Wait a minute. That's part of your point isn't it?
I love how Johnny appears to be crying in the last photo.
I was crying in all the ones before that.
Thank you. Great work.
Bless you, Fitz.
I don't understand the word failure. I've never come across it. What does it mean?
Powerful...Thanks for that.
This is the blog form of the Simon and Garfunkle song 'Silent Night'. Where they sing the carol over a Walter Cronkite newscast.
What makes me weep is that if you listen the it's the same goddamn headlines. Nearly forty years later.
Fuck these petty men and the fists they wield.
That was very well done.
I also heard that there are moves afoot to abolish the term 'brainstorming' since it might be offensive to people with brain injuries or those who don't have a brain, like the Scarecrow, or the two gents in the last photo there. The preferred term is now, "thought shower". Think I need cleansing.
Beautiful, dear thing x
Hard Hitting.
Had to comment.
Ms Fits, you truly are brilliant.
That was toally arresting.
Thank you.
We have this now, in Victoria anyway.
Established, Developing and Beginning.
Funnily enough the kids know which mark is a failure.
I know that's not the point of your post. So I guess the chumps at the end are marked "beginning?".
Beautiful juxtaposition.
Was one of those Halabja?
It's cool, that's not at all disturbing or anything. There's no such thing as failure in the real world anyway, so why bother grooming kids to be prepared for it?
Shiiiiit.

Oh man, Ms Fits can you make a moving mosaic iclding this picture????
http://www.hmm-364.org/iraq-election2.jpg
That was utter shite.
Also, every user comment on this blog heralds your literary triumphs and how wonderful you are but never provides any fucking insight. Im not suggesting that this is your fault, but honestly.
" stunning. fucking stunning." - bit of overkill don't you think?? I mean the technique used was nothing new and the application of it was moderate at best.
" Thank you. Great work." - Thank you for what? A rather simple diatribe on world politics? Methinks there are plently of those floating on the interweb.
" I don't understand the word failure. I've never come across it. What does it mean?" - shut the fuck up.
"What makes me weep is that if you listen the it's the same goddamn headlines." - well cry me a fucking river. History repeats bitch, get used to it.
I could carry on but I can't be fucked. Anyway, occasionaly I am going to come here and let you know what I think so you won't get bowel cancer from all that smoke being blown up your arse.
oh and you're right, I do hate you
Thank you, barabus. It's people like you who keep me 'real'.
And cancer-free.
When it happened, I remember Operation Shock & Awe was the second top rated TV show that week
oh dear, barabus what a sorry life you must live, maybe you saw the word failed across one to many of your school reports, it shows, loser.
Fitz... I think on a good day you can write some good stuff. All in all I'd say that I'm a fan of your blog - at least some of the time. But I gotta tell you, your sycophants depress the hell out of me. They seriously numb my mind. I don't have a problem with your post - but there was nothing particularly special or relevant about it either. I can't help but notice that the self involved comments on this page seem to hypocritically echo the sentiment expressed in that last photo.
You and your fans can scoff all you like at the legitimate criticism of a guy like Barabas, but if you buy into the kind of rubbish that your readers have served up for you in this thread then it can't possibly bode well for you as a writer or a person. Even Puff Daddy has an entourage praising his every move... but that doesn't mean he didn't make that song on the Godzilla soundtrack.
Dearest Barbarus,
Hell boy (or whatever gender you be), this bitch doesn't blow smoke up the arse of Ms Fits!!
I suck my smoke out of the firmly molded snatch of my RYWHM Bong!
*cue bad hippy folk music ie Simon and Garfunkle*
Based on the Betty Page avatar favoured by the Fits, this bong allows me to inhale my whacky tobaccy filtered through the finest lefty latte.
But don't let me tell you all about it, here's Moira with her lovely "natural glow".
Oh yeah, and I did weep. Then I put on a little Shirley Bassey and go-go'd like the time warped lass I am.
Cool.
Did anyone see Get Your War On after the 7/7 bombs? It's not there anymore, but it was similar to this.
hey cattermune,
i thought i told you to shut the fuck up. if i didnt, 'shut the fuck up'. i couldnt care less about what you do after you cry. no one could. if you dont believe me then start a blog about it and watch how many people read.
and while im here
"The terms failure and success are so subjective. They are defined by the dominant socio-economic status quo. What one person views as failure or success another person may view totally differently." - thank you for pointing out the bleeding obvious fuckhead. you just wanted to use 'socio-economic status quo' in a sentence because you just got your arts degree and no one has employed you.
barabus, no-one's asking you to love what you come here every 5 minutes to read, and to her credit ms fits doesn't censor her comments so you can say what you like about her posts. but when you start heckling her personally and the people who do enjoy it (because they come here on purpose to read something they enjoy reading, lets just call them normal people) you should maybe just fuck off you thoroughly repugnant evil bitter stain.
I'm still waiting for Ms Fits' moving piece on the photos I suggested.
Or is this a banned meme?
hey fluffy, maybe you cant read or perhaps you are just stupid but i was quite clear about the fact that i dont hold ms fits responsible, rather i consider idiots like you liable for the influx of unintelligent responses. i sometimes enjoy what ms fits has to say but i must say comments like yours deter me from ever reading again.
one word ...fuckhead
ps i am here to stay so get fucking used to it
ps learn how to use brackets
wait that should have been pps...whatever....you are making me stupider.
what's a meme?
Stupider? Impossible.
Please use the naughty f-word again. It makes me tingly.
My reaction to this bizarre collage?
Complete jibberish, devoid of coherent meaning.
If she is trying (somehow) to mock the absurdity of this leftist twaddle the teacher is sprouting, then good for her. If she is point out that in war, people die, I would say "well, duh."
"Fuck these petty men and the fists they wield."
Men don't have a monopoly on warmaking, dear. Just ask Boudicca, Joan D'Arc, Zenobia, Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher.
Interestingly enough Fits- your link doesn't go to the article you quote. Is this because it's just an urban legend?
"Please use the naughty f-word again. It makes me tingly." - you started it but okay. fuck you.
"Fuck these petty men and the fists they wield."
Thank you Barabus. I do in fact have an arts degree, as well as a law degree, but sorry to disappoint you I am employed. Not only am I employed, I am employed in a job I love, and should I ever decide to leave, I have many offers I can in fact take up.
However that being said, I agree with some of your comments. Many people who comment are in fact participating in a mutual maturbation session, and which even sometimes I join in. However at times my unwillingness to engage in this activity has resulted in the wrath of the latte left being directed at me. So be it. That's the joy of freedom of speech.
Please feel free to exercise this freedom and call me a fuckhead whenever I use the term socio-econmic staus quo, you fascist fuck.
:)
