OMG - Kids today are so spoiled - a Coffee Bar in School - Jo Joe's Coffee/Eagle Pantry, No wonder the Kids today - Don't want to Work, have No Money - because they have to buy 2 or more $7.00 Cups of Coffee a Day - and most cannot pickup their own room, let alone clean and monitor the Health Requirements of this Coffee Shop of Mouse Droppings -

All the while Failing to get an Education that will support them in the Future, so they won't be living at Mom and Dad's home for years.

With Missouri Ranked 33rd in the Nation for Education - When will Parents, Schools, their Administrators and Teachers - FIGURE THIS OUT - and Stop Passing Kids on to the Next Grade, because it might hurt these Kids or their Parents Feelings! Maybe Schools should be Focusing on Educating Kids for the Future - To become Self-Reliant, Self-Respecting, and Understanding that our Country was Built on Hard-Work, Not Laziness and Living off of Your Parents or the Government - or Finding a Political or Social or Cultural - Crutch to Live off of or Push - Woke, DEI, CRT, or Pronouns - but the pure facts - You Live in America - You are Americans - So Get an Education or Technical Training and become a Productive Member of Society that Contributes to Your and America's Future!
