I've said it before, and I'll say it again. George Carlin is not a comedian. He's a philosopher with an incredible sense of humor, and 500 years from now, people will still be interested in what he had to say.
It's like Neil Degrasse Tyson says. "You spend the first few years as a baby learning how to walk and talk. Then you go to school so you can learn to sit and shut up."
George is an example of what used to be considered a Liberal. He didn't trust the gov't, big business, the media, the military, he championed free speech and critical thinking.
@@Nic560 That is the reason of your second amendment you are so proud of and the whole right to bear arms. Of course today you would go with guns to a drone-fight so that alone makes it a joke .. but that was the damned idea behind hit and not using schools as your personal shooting range.
@@CBT5777That wouldn't work. The importance of History is to learn from our mistakes so we don't repeat them, however what they don't tell you is that it's not just the righteous good intentions people who are the only ones learning. Corrupt bad intentions people also learn from history. One example is they learned that enslaving the body works short term, but people will eventually rise up, people will eventually fight back even if it takes a few decades or centuries so instead they enslave the mind which is much harder to break free from especially if they brainwash you into putting the chains on yourself. If you look around you do you really think anybody would be able to get people to come together, and riot to take back control, and give it back to the people? The is No, everyone is too busy being at each other's throats over simplistic reasons like ethnicity, gender, identity, pronouns, political beliefs, religious beliefs etc... George Carlin is right the game is tilted, and it's a little too late so just enjoy life while you can, and hope full blown dictatorship doesn't happen in your lifetime.
You are a number that's supposed to live until 80 yrs old , you payed into this fund called "Social Security" your whole life , but you can't even think about collecting until 62 because you don't fall within the average age of life group which is 62 to 80 , My wife passed at 50 , she payed into Social Security her whole career , Because my income is higher then hers , they only offer a buyout on her Social Security of $255 dollars , BUT! Social Security is going broke Wtf , Why not invest the Trillions of humanitarian money they give every year to other countries into our country and our problems , I feel bad for ya @seanpaula8924 , our country has failed all of us for greed anymore , the Left and Right controlling our system is EXACTLY what George Carlin is talking about
I'm 62. I get a pension, but it is drastically reduced from what people used to get. About 55%. However, I'm part of the last generation to get a pension. My generation will survive as free men until death. Those younger than me are destined to be wage slaves until death.
@@freerider7073 So right, try and exist on the pennies on the dollar social security that we work all of lives for. They borrowed (stolen) from our SS money for stupid shit and we'll never see it. Sad when ya have friends or relatives that retired years ago and received more. Jim
@@Jones25ful is the hypocrisy of these people, they supported the propaganda when it was theirs, but as soon as it wasn't, then, "they are teaching our children what to think".
I'm 70 years old and I grew up listening to Carlin and Pryor. While Richard made me laugh until I cried, George opened my eyes and mind. He spit the truth my whole life and influenced me more than I realized at the time. I'm so heartened when I see young people react to George so positively. Most of these clips are 30 years old and he was so far ahead of everyone else
Money is being thrown at the schools but the problem is, almost none of that money makes it to the classroom. It's spent on hiring more administrators, complying with stupid government regulations and all kinds of other nonsense that has nothing to do with actual education.
@@wyomarine6341 Im sorry but you should really look up the definition to Crony Capitalism. Schools in question are government funded and government run. They have nothing to do with the private market or Capitalism.
Exactly , well said They during Referendums always say KIDS FIRST KIDS FIRST , and dup the ppl to Vote Yes. But when they dont Get What they want ( increase pay) they come back and Take Away from the Kids ,
@@terrycarlin2443 I recently retired from a large school district ( I didn't teach) and in my opinion and many others there, taking care of the kids is not even in the top ten of their priorities
Are we talking about colleges? Public schools are getting under-funded. Teachers are going on strike because they make less than livable wages. Deregulating is exactly what they want so they can privatize schools and make them as expensive as colleges.
The other thing I've been noticing is how monopolized every industry is getting. The government masterfully uses safety and environmental issues to pass more and more restrictive laws that have made it impossible for the little guy to survive. Now we have fewer choices, and products cost more even though they break down sooner.
The left wing is a totally separate bird. That is about removing the exploitation Carlin talks about. The leftist Liberal faction of the elite that controls the left in a capitalist system is what is part of the same bird as the right wing. America doesn’t have a political left wing, nor any media. Convincing people the likes of Biden, Obama, Clinton etc are the left wing when they’re soft right wing leftist Liberal is part of this informational control Carlin talks about. There used to be a political left wing in America. It ran as a third party in the early part of last century. The elite got scared enough to imprison the presidential candidate and purge that left wing. Indeed, it’s pressure from that left wing - the coalition of communists, socialists, and trade unions - that got the compromise of the new deal out of the elite last century. The new deal the elite has spent the past 40 years rolling back. This is what a century of propaganda demonising the left wing and socialism does.
There is no left wing. We have neoliberals and far right wing, and they both suck. George Carlin was left wing. There are no politicians practicing what he is preaching.
The right wing and left wing are entirely separate birds. Fundamentally so, given the left wing of the political spectrum represents workers and is anti capitalist. You’re conflating the soft right wing leftist liberal faction of the elite with being left wing. That faction controls the dems and the left in a Liberal democracy. They’re not left wing. They’re not even the middle of the spectrum. They’re soft right wing. So yes, they are two wings of the same bird. That’s bird being capitalism, but you’re misidentifying one of them. Carlin was left wing. A socialist. America doesn’t have a left wing party. Precisely because of the dynamics of capitalism. It has two shades of right wing parties and different shades of right wing media. All owned by different factions of the same class, who are all varying shades of right wing. The big club carlin was referring to was the minority group within capitalism, the capitalist class. The owners of the country.
That last line hits haaaaarddd... It's called the American dream cause you have to be asleep to believe it. All hail the professor of Comedy! Mr George Carlin... He was so right about pretty much everything.
When I was in school an A was 94-100. Now it’s 90-100. You should look up a guy named John Taylor Gatto if you really want the full story on this corporate takeover of education. He is featured in a series of CZcams videos titled: The Ultimate History Lesson.
Now age 45, I have faithfully followed GC’s career from ‘Carlin at Carnegie’ in 1982 as a mere 4 yr old. (Thx ma & pa) As I progressed in age & maturity, so did his material. When he finally hit his hard hitting stride in the early 90s, I began to memorize every released album, not by design but rather because his comedy, ideas & wordsmith seemed to already be brewing in my own head. It all made perfect sense & was undeniably hilarious. So as you stated, a person must have felt totally insane to speak these obvious rational ideas 15-20 even 30 yrs ago as if we were conspiracy nut cases, and you would be right. So we just tucked away and watched the reality unfold. And frankly that’s why I enjoy watching reactions such as this. There is only one truth in this world. Thoughts & opinions only help to keep us there. But likewise, they continue to keep us afraid & ignorant. I personally look at George Carlin as the badass uncle I never got to meet. And everyone else should as well. Not a prophet, just a patient observer unafraid to come around once in a while & sock you in the gut with reality, all while still tickling your balls!! A true giant of a legendary legend😂😂
George is the GOAT! Comedians like him are the Prophets of the modern age. If you think about it, it is not even really comedy. He's giving you the truth. Hahaha hilarious to see you use the same word later on in the video: PROPHET!
The school money goes to the “Owners” children so they can take their parents place. No money goes to the schools for the children who are not “in the club.” That is why teachers have to take from their own pockets to fund their classrooms.
Bill Hicks was a philosopher comedian. George Carlin was a philosopher comedian. They weren't exactly comedians, they just spoke truth and you had to laugh because otherwise you'd cry.
Money does get tossed at the problem, over and over. The issue is that the money goes to administration and administrators, not teachers and textbooks and school supplies. The students are the least important thing in the education system as far as they are concerned.
It's amazing to watch your faces throughout this react as you two get zapped over and over again by the truth that George is speaking. This is his most powerful, most insightful piece he ever did. Just an amazing eye opener especially for those people who this never occurred to. Love it and love your back and forth here, great job!
Girl, you are so right about people making you feel crazy when you notice what's happening. When they don't understand what you're saying, they think you're the stupid one. As in "I can't understand you, so you must not know what you're speaking about". And about thinking at work . . . I recently got fired because sales went up to record numbers, higher than they'd had in 20 years, since the company started. The manager didn't like that, so they fired me. Later they fired her. Then hired SOMEBODY ELSE (like, I really thought they'd come to me) to do her job. The place is still floundering.
He was a GENIUS, and I MISS him SO MUCH. He would have a field day with how the world is today. Trouble is, certain people would make sure he couldn't say a word, if he was still here today, he would be silenced, and that is disgusting. I have been a fan of his since the early '60s. RIP George, I WISH you were STILL with us.
Thank you for this reaction to Carlin and sharing your thoughts about his deeper message! If you want something else with a similar message, there's a movie called Jones Plantation that I can highly recommend.
I've been saying this for 30 years and yes, I was that "crazy guy". It's COMMON SENSE! I can't believe how STUPID people can be, not to have known this all these years. I'll bring up something most people don't seem to have a clue about. You don't want to replace AC units, heaters or any appliance that was manufactured before 1998. Everything after that was built by 12-year-old Chinese girls in China. Child slave labor to cut costs. Yes, this is why NOTHING ever works for more than a year or two. Then you have to replace it again with the exact same thing. DO NOT DISPOSE OF YOUR OLD APPLIANCES! Have them fixed with parts that were made in the USA. Unfortunately, that stopped a few decades ago, so supplies are limited. We need a President who will build back the USA that way is was 40 years ago. Factories and jobs. Plus energy independence so that we aren't buying refined sludge from Venezuela!
Schools are funded mostly by property tax. Poor neighborhoods get poor schools....literally keeps everyone in their place. George is a philosopher that makes you laugh.....hello from GA14
It's been happening for decades and it will continue to happen. That's how our country works. The people with the power will continue to lead the sheep.
It will be relevant for as long as exploitative economic foundations, such as capitalism, exist. He could have done this bit under slavery and feudalism and have it still work. And every decade since.
I have long said that George saw what we were dealing with today decades ago. He has a brilliant mind, used comedy to “dumb” it down for everyday people. I have also long said this, in some ways I wish he were still here to see the BS that is happening today, yet again I don’t because I know it would scare the living shit out of me with him telling me what is to come.
Be careful that when you agree with George, that you don't assume he's on the same side politically as you. It's easy to think he agrees with your side, but he wasn't on anyone's side. He worked to poke EVERYONE in the side, no matter what they believe.
Seeing people call George Carlin a prophet always brings to mind a line from Naruto of all places. 'I know the past and can foretell our future; it is the same as our history'. George Carlin didn't see the future, things just haven't changed.
The schools where kids have the lowest grades often have the highest budget. It has nothing to do with the money and everything to do with whether the kids and their parents value value education.
Adding to problems more recently are states "banning" (more then just FL) entire subjects that are needed. I was lucky to have teachers early that taught me to think and learn more then just recite for a single test. Though i regret not learning another language or two, not many options when i was there to select from. Many people i game with from many other countries know at least 3 languages fluently before they are 18. Not everyone even i went to school with grasp what may be called "critical thinking" now but many did. Each area is different, our school system is becoming more current with notebook connections for homework, classes (no more snow days), teacher contact and schedules etc., that make it easier. I believe all school funding is split in the state based on student numbers in each school. I'm sure its more involved then that but base theory is there.
@@M-S_4321Science too, that is mostly what teaches critical thinking. For example; how atoms, molecules etc interact and combined to create "stuff". How to make and conduct experiments then use deductive reasoning and consistent results to determine truths, etc.
I know right. We went from a group of colonies that went to war over taxes that are a fraction of what we pay now to half the nation yelling for more taxes.
The problem in America is that the country is getting better and better for corporations, and getting worse for the people. In the early seventies, the U.S. was moving in the direction of making life better for people. The Supreme Court was making decisions that made life better. Then corporate and religious groups teamed up, to put an end to that. They talked about activist Courts and a country losing family values. They sold many people on the idea that if it is good for people it is bad, if it is good for Corporate America, it is good. Since then the U.S.has spent their time removing rights from people. They divide the population any way they can to make sure people focus on fighting each other and ignore what is happening around them. The number one weapon is fear. Watch an evening of commercials, how many products are being marketed based on fear? It used to be that Political parties both understood that both parties were trying to make the country better, they had different ideas on how to do that. Now the other party is the enemy of the Country, and they want to destroy it. It used to be that the U.S. had one voice on the international stage. Now if Putin puts out his propaganda, it is just a matter of time before some in the U.S. are spouting the same lies. You have an election coming up this year. Right now it seems that no matter what happens, half the country will not trust the results. Russia is very happy. Western democracies around the world can see the end. If Democracy fails in the U.S., it is doomed the world over.
I was watching a OLD clip of Nixon / Kennedy debate. Pretty much everything they debated (civilly) are EXACTLY what we’re experiencing now. We’ve been sold a bill of goods, which is why George Carlin is so important today (which is why comedians like Dave Chappel are so important)
Never forget to get anywhere in his profession he has to be a Freemason, he's telling just what they are doing, making it funny and telling u there's nothing you can do about it.
Carlin in his later years, like here, transcended comedy and became a real prophet. At least in my eyes. He was an excellent comedian long before he became so political too, his bit on time on the round stage comes to mind.
Looks what's happening in some of the southern states for example Florida is there going to be teaching kids in the school books the ones they don't ban that slavery wasn't bad and they were taught skills that benefited them
Absolutely love hearing you discuss the actual issues after. If everybody did this we would be living in a free and fair society where everyone was treated equally, not just under the law, but because we all understood that that is how you have a good and enjoyable society. And your points regarding education are valid. IF we spent 10x on education we would see improvement just by the sheer fact of attracting more competent people to do the work of teaching, administering, and architecting schools. On the other side of that, we need people, the people sending their kids to school to be holding all of their institutions accountable and giving and demanding more and helping raise our mutual children with a sense of shared purpose in creating the people we want to enjoy and be responsible for the future. There really is no more important job for a parent or a citizen than doing that, yet we're like 'well, it's not MY kid, and if I say something maybe I'll get in trouble' (or whatever cultural roadblock we have against helping each other bring these rugrats into the future). /rant........ Anyways, thanks for demonstrating how to listen to Carlin. 'He's not joking folks', as he would say.
One of the worst tragedies is the large number of very talented and caring individuals whose chance to excel, and make a positive difference, were severely curtailed due to their lack of money and position. So much has been lost. Things that can Never be regained. All that effort, for nothing.
I almost got teary watching you two.... As you listened to the performance, I've heard so many times. It was almost like watching kids who just gotta cochlear implant, the looks on your faces. I so wish it wasn't true, but he didn't have a syllable out of place in this rant.
Check out, The Dumbing Down of America. It started with the 'New Math' in '68, I was 11. It was just mass confusion and frustration. Then they took away phonics and replaced it with memorization, great if you're going to be an actor. Stopped teaching writing years ago and are just bringing it back now. But we've got a couple of generations that can't write and don' know why they need it anyway. Funny how you can still buy Hooked on Phonics online, but it's not advertised. Huh.

It's the other way 'round. Big moneyed interests use government to squash competition. Same result though.

Carlin was happy to divide the people that wanted to control and own everything from regular, honest people.
Girl, you are so right about people making you feel crazy when you notice what's happening. When they don't understand what you're saying, they think you're the stupid one. As in "I can't understand you, so you must not know what you're speaking about". And about thinking at work . . . I recently got fired because sales went up to record numbers, higher than they'd had in 20 years, since the company started. The manager didn't like that, so they fired me. Later they fired her. Then hired SOMEBODY ELSE (like, I really thought they'd come to me) to do her job. The place is still floundering.
George Carlin. The only "comedian"that can make me cry.
He was a GENIUS, and I MISS him SO MUCH. He would have a field day with how the world is today. Trouble is, certain people would make sure he couldn't say a word, if he was still here today, he would be silenced, and that is disgusting. I have been a fan of his since the early '60s. RIP George, I WISH you were STILL with us.
Right On ❤
Thank you for this reaction to Carlin and sharing your thoughts about his deeper message! If you want something else with a similar message, there's a movie called Jones Plantation that I can highly recommend.
When I was in school 65 was the minimum to pass. That was a D. C- to C+ ranged from 70-79.
A man that was a true wise. Ahead of his time, comfronting people with awkward realities and educating with a laugh. RIP
Thank you! I loved it when he said mother nature would just line the rocks with the plastic in her mysterious artwork! Great stuff.
Loved your reaction! You get it! I also enjoyed the very intelligent conversation afterward. Subbed!
Great Reaction! Im glad yall dig what hes saying, more people need to wake up
I've been saying this for 30 years and yes, I was that "crazy guy". It's COMMON SENSE! I can't believe how STUPID people can be, not to have known this all these years. I'll bring up something most people don't seem to have a clue about. You don't want to replace AC units, heaters or any appliance that was manufactured before 1998. Everything after that was built by 12-year-old Chinese girls in China. Child slave labor to cut costs. Yes, this is why NOTHING ever works for more than a year or two. Then you have to replace it again with the exact same thing. DO NOT DISPOSE OF YOUR OLD APPLIANCES! Have them fixed with parts that were made in the USA. Unfortunately, that stopped a few decades ago, so supplies are limited. We need a President who will build back the USA that way is was 40 years ago. Factories and jobs. Plus energy independence so that we aren't buying refined sludge from Venezuela!
May george carlin rest in peace I watched every stand up Special he did on the HBO
Schools are funded mostly by property tax. Poor neighborhoods get poor schools....literally keeps everyone in their place.
George is a philosopher that makes you laugh.....hello from GA14
When people say "you dont know what you got until its gone"...george carlins one. Legend
It's been happening for decades and it will continue to happen. That's how our country works. The people with the power will continue to lead the sheep.
The reason why George Carlin is so smart is because he is not reading a prompter he is telling the truth
Crazy how relevant this bit still is. He was so spot-on.
It will be relevant for as long as exploitative economic foundations, such as capitalism, exist.
He could have done this bit under slavery and feudalism and have it still work. And every decade since.
He is my favourite comedian. He speaks the truth a very wise man.
😮 yes. This had me rolling when it came out. 😂 smart man
Fellow Georgia resident! Love you guys!
I have long said that George saw what we were dealing with today decades ago. He has a brilliant mind, used comedy to “dumb” it down for everyday people. I have also long said this, in some ways I wish he were still here to see the BS that is happening today, yet again I don’t because I know it would scare the living shit out of me with him telling me what is to come.
Pure brilliance and a heavy dose of the stinging truth.
this three minutes is a better education than any you get in schools, and it's absolutely true
Can you imagine how much enjoyment it would be to have George as our president?
Be careful that when you agree with George, that you don't assume he's on the same side politically as you. It's easy to think he agrees with your side, but he wasn't on anyone's side. He worked to poke EVERYONE in the side, no matter what they believe.
Thank you TNT for doing this video. This should be a wake-up call to all the 99 percenters out there. Let's take this country back.
Seeing people call George Carlin a prophet always brings to mind a line from Naruto of all places. 'I know the past and can foretell our future; it is the same as our history'. George Carlin didn't see the future, things just haven't changed.
I miss George, he spoke truth.
Love that legend
robots are flipping our burger now
no, no, actual robots@@RobertWhite1
no, no actual robots. i think its name is Mr. flippy@@RobertWhite1
The schools where kids have the lowest grades often have the highest budget. It has nothing to do with the money and everything to do with whether the kids and their parents value value education.
Adding to problems more recently are states "banning" (more then just FL) entire subjects that are needed. I was lucky to have teachers early that taught me to think and learn more then just recite for a single test. Though i regret not learning another language or two, not many options when i was there to select from. Many people i game with from many other countries know at least 3 languages fluently before they are 18. Not everyone even i went to school with grasp what may be called "critical thinking" now but many did. Each area is different, our school system is becoming more current with notebook connections for homework, classes (no more snow days), teacher contact and schedules etc., that make it easier. I believe all school funding is split in the state based on student numbers in each school. I'm sure its more involved then that but base theory is there.
Reading, writing, arithmetic & critical thinking. That's all schools need to teach with offering up truthful information.
@@M-S_4321Science too, that is mostly what teaches critical thinking. For example; how atoms, molecules etc interact and combined to create "stuff". How to make and conduct experiments then use deductive reasoning and consistent results to determine truths, etc.
This whole special is unbelievable
I missed you both
I'm surprised we haven't had a bloody revolution in this country about this.
I know right. We went from a group of colonies that went to war over taxes that are a fraction of what we pay now to half the nation yelling for more taxes.
@@bcherry8953 the elite went to war arguing over taxes. The elite are still at war over taxes, only it’s with the American people.
George was a philosopher first and a comedian second.
Carlin was more than a comedian, he was trying to warn us.
"Just before the end/Even treason may be worth a try/This country is too young to die." - Phil Ochs
RIP George, you are missed.
The problem in America is that the country is getting better and better for corporations, and getting worse for the people. In the early seventies, the U.S. was moving in the direction of making life better for people. The Supreme Court was making decisions that made life better. Then corporate and religious groups teamed up, to put an end to that. They talked about activist Courts and a country losing family values. They sold many people on the idea that if it is good for people it is bad, if it is good for Corporate America, it is good. Since then the U.S.has spent their time removing rights from people. They divide the population any way they can to make sure people focus on fighting each other and ignore what is happening around them. The number one weapon is fear. Watch an evening of commercials, how many products are being marketed based on fear? It used to be that Political parties both understood that both parties were trying to make the country better, they had different ideas on how to do that. Now the other party is the enemy of the Country, and they want to destroy it. It used to be that the U.S. had one voice on the international stage. Now if Putin puts out his propaganda, it is just a matter of time before some in the U.S. are spouting the same lies.
You have an election coming up this year. Right now it seems that no matter what happens, half the country will not trust the results. Russia is very happy. Western democracies around the world can see the end. If Democracy fails in the U.S., it is doomed the world over.
Schools are spending millions on high school football stadiums but cant afford books.
George was the greatest, he had everything, everyone, figured out.Years before it was a reality. And he let you know about it.
TRUTH!!!❤
Love George
Truth. I notice, George, but too many are asleep.
I was watching a OLD clip of Nixon / Kennedy debate. Pretty much everything they debated (civilly) are EXACTLY what we’re experiencing now. We’ve been sold a bill of goods, which is why George Carlin is so important today (which is why comedians like Dave Chappel are so important)
I've seen that debate - JFK and Nixon looked like 150 IQ geniuses compared to our leaders today, just shows how far we've declined.
George Carlin was great
Never forget to get anywhere in his profession he has to be a Freemason, he's telling just what they are doing, making it funny and telling u there's nothing you can do about it.
Carlin in his later years, like here, transcended comedy and became a real prophet. At least in my eyes.
He was an excellent comedian long before he became so political too, his bit on time on the round stage comes to mind.
Looks what's happening in some of the southern states for example Florida is there going to be teaching kids in the school books the ones they don't ban that slavery wasn't bad and they were taught skills that benefited them
Incredible wordsmith
Nobody was better at making the bitter pill of reality easier to swallow through comedy than George Carlin. Long live the G.O.A.T.
Absolutely love hearing you discuss the actual issues after. If everybody did this we would be living in a free and fair society where everyone was treated equally, not just under the law, but because we all understood that that is how you have a good and enjoyable society. And your points regarding education are valid. IF we spent 10x on education we would see improvement just by the sheer fact of attracting more competent people to do the work of teaching, administering, and architecting schools. On the other side of that, we need people, the people sending their kids to school to be holding all of their institutions accountable and giving and demanding more and helping raise our mutual children with a sense of shared purpose in creating the people we want to enjoy and be responsible for the future. There really is no more important job for a parent or a citizen than doing that, yet we're like 'well, it's not MY kid, and if I say something maybe I'll get in trouble' (or whatever cultural roadblock we have against helping each other bring these rugrats into the future). /rant........ Anyways, thanks for demonstrating how to listen to Carlin. 'He's not joking folks', as he would say.
George Carlin is Down There, looking up at us watching you, watch him
The more you all watch Carlin clips you realize he was a man ahead of his time and seen many things coming before they ever happened!
Incredible wordsmith ✍️
George Carlin should still be here
One of the worst tragedies is the large number of very talented and caring
individuals whose chance to excel, and make a positive difference, were severely curtailed due to their lack of money and position.
So much has been lost. Things that can Never be regained. All that effort, for nothing.
Hilarious 😂
I almost got teary watching you two.... As you listened to the performance, I've heard so many times. It was almost like watching kids who just gotta cochlear implant, the looks on your faces. I so wish it wasn't true, but he didn't have a syllable out of place in this rant.
School budgets don't go to teachers anymore than our military budget goes to soldiers
If you don’t LAUGH, you’ll CRY.
Check out, The Dumbing Down of America. It started with the 'New Math' in '68, I was 11. It was just mass confusion and frustration. Then they took away phonics and replaced it with memorization, great if you're going to be an actor. Stopped teaching writing years ago and are just bringing it back now. But we've got a couple of generations that can't write and don' know why they need it anyway. Funny how you can still buy Hooked on Phonics online, but it's not advertised. Huh.
